    All had the ability to beat him. Not saying they would 100% but in my view all 50/50 fights.

    He gives up size & power at 135

    The most diffucult styles are Castillo & Casa

    JLC pressure style gave Floyd hell, hes basically a bigger Salido. Thats 50/50

    Loma vs Casa is also 50/50. Big time technical bout

    Id favor Loma over Corrales. He would outbox Chico just got to be careful for that power shot...

    Good fights, I'd favor Loma over Freitas, but the rest would be tough bouts for him. They're no Linares or Pedraza, that's forsure.

    Agreed. The most winnable fight is Corrales. I think Freit would cause him issues as well with his punching power but again, certainly not an unwinnable fight for Loma. Castillo and Casa would cause him utter hell.

    Loma and Golovkin beat all of them.

    I think Castillo beats him. Size and immense pressure...more skilled pressure than Salido. The rest are very good fights but I'd favor Loma.

    The point of that post was to say that this would be his breakout fight and that kind of beat down. Corrales is levels above Pedraza and Linares put together.

    hard to say because all those guys are killers. Has Loma fought someone as tall as corralles?

    He’d be favored against them, but he’d also be unlikely to beat them all in succession. I have an image in my head of a fight with Chico looking like Cotto-Margarito 1.

    Could go 3-1 could go 0-4. Can't see him beating Cassamayor who was the best of those 4. If I had to choose I'd say he squeaks by Corrales also. Castillo is much bigger, stronger Salido. 2-2.

    I think he'd do OK but I also think that 135 is probably too big for him. He looks like a midget in there.
