mikey would have stopped him. before loma lost to teo i stated how you could beat loma, which was to take away his weak side angle attacks by pivoting with him to always keep him in front of you. and at the time mikey was the best at doing that naturally. it was a skill mikey was already a master at. then you have the size difference, power difference, and the fact mikey was an actual elite level fighter as well. mikey was better than anyone loma has faced, including those that have beat him. heck, he made salido look like a drunk who couldnt stay on his feet. take your emotions out of it, this is about boxing not heroes.
Got robbed against Salido Didn't turn up against Lopez at all Didn't press against Haney when it was very close Probably too old and conservative now to pull the trigger against someone elite.
I don't..................He's a HOF'er based on certain title winning milestones.................I don't really rank him as an ATG. ATG potential but not ATG........ And before I'm bombarded with BS about being a Loma hater, I have for 10+ years on here spoken extremely high of Loma so there's no hate. He's not an ATG as a professional IMO. No such thing as being an ATG with only 20 fights, there just isn't. There's other reasons as well.
So mikey passes unifying all 4 belts at 135 to get crushed like a can at 147lbs? That doesnt smell right at all
and i wanna see those fights even at 36. if he can fight those two within a year and beat them, he will retire as lower tier ATG.
First ballot hall of fame. The most unique and talented fighter of his generation, no one comes close skill wise. Definitely an all time great.
