    He'd have serious trouble with Castillo, point blank. If Tank's left overs are giving him work like that, then you've got to think that Casamayor would also give him some problems, assuming it's a Casamayor that is near his prime. He'd have to box the perfect fight against Corrales. Freitas would likely be the easiest bout.

    Linares by himself is better than Corrales and would have beat him.

    Tank’s leftovers? Pedraza was drained against Tank, fought stupidly and almost completely differently than against Lomachenko. For a start Pedraza was southpaw with a high guard against Tank, against Loma he was orthodox with a loose low hand style.
    Only a moron would compare those two fights. Oh wait, aren’t you the guy who said that Loma was ducking Rigo and Walters? Nuff said.

    I agree with this guy. Pedreza, like rejuvanted Linares 2.0 virtuoso edition, is P4P material. In fact, the term PEDS was actually named after Pedraza by a man from the future, because taking performance enhancers is the only way to fight on Pedraza's level for most boxers.

    So what did Loma do to him, he beat P4P PEDS level stylistic nightmare Pedraza with ease, and he did it without taking a single shot to the face.

    To the uninitiated boxing fan, it looks like he took quite a few punches to the face in his last bout. Well, at least if you were to go by all the bruising on his face post fight.

    However to a non biased pugilistic connoisseur. Loma blocked all those punches to the face with his glove, and the bruises were caused by the impact of Loma's gloves hitting his own face whilst defending. His bone facial structure has something to do with that too apparently.

    Yes Tank's left overs. You seem a bit perturbed that Loma had trouble. Many Loma fans were in pure excuse making mode. A sensitive lot you all are. Loma made no excuses, he doesn't need his personal jock straps making excuses either. I'm not even sure why so many of you catch feelings like that. How one fighters does against another, has no bearing on how he may match up against a third fighter.

    He was, and you can only wish he had that type of heart to jump two weight classes as fight a pound for pound guy. We already know Loma wouldn't jump up and fight Crawford, because he said so already. Hell, he doesn't want any part of Prograis either.

    Cool, I thought Pedraza would be an even harder fight for Lomachenko than he was.
