    Loma is not even close to Floyd
    Nobody in their right mind can compare their resumes, also pretty boy Floyd at 130-35 would absolutely tool him easy

    Hey **** for brains, obviously fans overrate their guy, but not to the extent they were doing it for Loma. The reasons why were obvious. It’s okay for Loma to the matador and taunt but if other fighters do it they’re cocky and people would love to see them get knocked out.

    You’re either playing dumb or you’re actually too dumb to see what’s so obvious.

    All of the Loma/Floyd fanboys overrate them both. They say the exact same thing about both fighters, that they're the best ever.

    It's no wonder so many Flomasexuals became Lomasexuals. Absolutely obsessed with their guy being the best.

    :lol: not to the extent. Get over it child. You freak out too much over what fans on a message board think. You live rent free in posters heads so long it's more like squatting.

    You have no critical thinking skills at all. Just all emotion, false equivalencies and hyperbole. Get a f'n grip little girl.... go change your tampon FFS...

    Those fighters who people keep talking about them after years and years are clearly not overrated. Not even primo carnera. They belong to boxing's history, no way a fighter that manages to become an actual part of boxing's history can be overrated. And mayweather is already part of boxing history.

    One day, I'll catch you calling a retired fighter over rated on a thread.

    And when I do, by George will I bump this thread.

    Yes, I spent many years saying that de la hoya couldnt punch to save his life. Obviously I was lying and letting my emotions to talk on behalf of myself.

    You will not have to wait much to see me saying that XXXX historic figther is overrated. Above everything else I am a boxing fan, and I love to live boxing as a fan, emotionally and irrationally. :nusenuse:

    A boxing savant who mastered his craft as well as pretty much any man that has ever lived.

    I don't think anyone beats him at 130. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he beats everyone at 135 too.

    Not quite as otherworldly at 147lbs and above and there are genuine criticisms to be made about him prioritising business over legacy, but nobody of sound mind can seriously deny the man was a special talent.

    He isn't the greatest ever, but very few fighters would have beaten him south of 147lbs. Very very few.

    Bang on, this.

    He's pretty much dead center in between what Floyd thinks he is (that is, TBE, and not only superior to both Sugar Rays but the fantasy favorite over either) and what his haters - legion as they are, the ones who call him Duckweather, Fluid Mayweather, etc. and insist that Margarito kayos him in 1, as does Pac in his prime - think he is.

    Which all triangulates to about "upper echelon of HOF/ATG talents from lightweight through welter, not the king of that mountain but nearer its apex than its base"

    Awful fights , turned it into a non contact sport.

    I'd rather watch a khan tear up, win or lose

    Because he's a bitter hater who's still mad that pbf dominated an entire era of boxing with ease while beating his favorite fighters in the process. He'll never get over it and I love it.
