    You are so dumb. Like most dumb people you don’t seem to know you’re dumb. The Dunning-Kruger effect.

    Loma couldn't cut the ring off on Floyd either.

    Shuffle to the side as Floyd trys to escape Manny put his southpaw lead foot on the inside of Floyd`s each time he came in making it easy for Floyd to escape to the side each time, Loma doesn`t do that he always shuffles over matching the opponents footwork or throws a hook catching them as they move into the hook, he is a far smarter fighter than Manny was.

    Better than Floyd? Cos Pac tagged Floyd twice and backed him to the ropes. What do you think would happen if that was a barely 126lb rigo instead?

    You forget that at FW Pac was knocking guys out like mab and putting them on their ass with 1 punch. I don’t think Rigo has that chin or fight in him as Mab did.

    There’s levels to this.

    Dunno about smarter, just better trained. The guy quit boxing to go to dance classes just to improve his footwork ffs.

    Yes, two years of Ukranian dance, Ali studied ballet to improve his footwork.

    Sorry I meant a better defense than anyone that didn`t handle Manny like he was a boy.

    Not even top 10...........

    I'm a Loma fan but let's be serious,
    that's not his forte......at all.

    I can think of two fights were Loma really went for power. One is the Roman Martinez fight and the other is Pedraza.
    Against Pedraza, he couldn´t quite pull it off. But Roman had no answers for Loma. Loma sat down on his punches that night and annihilated Martinez.

    I don’t think of Loma as a pressure fighter. Duran was a pressure fighter. Chavez was a pressure fighter. Loma is a boxer who will stand toe to toe though. But at 135 I definitely don’t see him walking anybody down or leaning on their chest and working the body. That’s what a classic pressure fighter does.

    Mayweather would lose the first 3 rounds just like he did v several other opponents but he will lose thiose rounds worse than he did v Judah who was nowhere near Loma`s level at all.
