    Floyd was 21 when he became a champion
    Loma was 27 when he became a champion
    Floyd dethroned a sitting champion
    Loma fought for a paper title

    Mayweather is great because of his accomplishment. But tbh when I start watching him at 130, i saw a good talented fighter but I was not in awe.

    I watched Mayweather's entire career as it unfolded. He only attained this God-like status as his career lengthened. In my opinion, he lost to Castillo. He claims he broke both hands against Hernandez, who I also think won the fight. In a number of Mayweather fights where it was extremely close or maybe even lost, the announcers acted like, of course, Floyd won it. No, he didn't but they would love you to believe it. A lot of Floyd's fights were treated like Canelo fights where there was little chance he would lose (on the cards) if he wasn't stopped. So, in Loma's Salido fight, for example, the ref would have taken 2 or 3 points from Salido, maybe even DQ'd him if he fouled Floyd in the same way he did Loma.

    Loma still has a long way to go imo, and beating Salido now after a loss doesn't really mean anything anymore. Its what he does in the higher weight classes from this point on that's going to determine his greatness in comparison to Floyd Mayweather.

    Loma is a smaller person that Floyd, though. Look at their height and reach. Floyd turned pro earlier so he matured and moved up as he aged. Loma is already his full stature. Not an accurate comparison, for this reason. Just because Floyd got bigger and moved up does not mean Loma has to do that to prove he is as good or better than Floyd.

    Floyd was fouled and roughed up by Maidana, and many of you said good game plan by Maidana. Salido roughs up Loma, fights him dirty and not the Freaks, but the ****en Cry Babies come out at night. Lol

    What are you talking about. Floyd ran most of the fight and hit off the break constantly. Hernandez pressed the action, Floyd ran and if the tables were turned Floyd would have been awarded a lopsided victory.

    He wasn't watching. When people bring up Salido, posts like this are created. Lmao

    You obviously don't get it. Loma is going to move up whether you want him to or not, that's just his desire to be great which in turn will open him up to greater challenges along the way.. And like I said what he does in the higher weight classes will determine his greatness in comparison to Floyd Mayweather, because as right now the resumes don't add up, so there's not even any argument as to who's the greater fighter.
