    Let's look at his accomplishments:

    • Tied the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title
    • Broke the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title in 2 weight classes
    • Broke the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title in 3 weight classes
    • All in fewer than 20 fights
    Has he done enough to make the Hall of Fame?

    HOF worthy fighter for sure, he falls short on ATG status at the moment. He still has time to make that statement as an ATG if he ends up becoming undisputed.

    Yes. He is definitely in the HOF. The most dynamic fighter in the past half century.

    HoF considers amateur achievements too, right? If so, def. If not... depends on rest of career

    Definitely. Achievements are seemingly more HOF-bound than ATG. He could potentially become undisputed at LW and maybe SFW too.

    He'll definitely be in HOF. Many people who achieved less than him are there.

    Loma probably only have two good years ahead to score some big achievement for his legacy. His father, his team and he know this. So do his competitors. There is very high possibility that everyone will duck him and deny him the big fights he deserves at least until he looks 'beatable'.
