Is Loma the greatest pressure fighter in boxing today?

Southpaws don't usually throw many right hooks to the body because your liver is on your right side.

 

Today?

Possibly. He's one of the best around, although I wouldn't class him as a pressure fighter.

All time?

No way.

Loma is a good P4P boxer today, but he's done nothing to warrant himself along with fighters such Armstrong, Duran etc.
He's also never beaten an elite boxer the same size, or someone good with a stylistic advantage over him.

I like Loma, but the hype for him is ridiculous.

 

It don't matter which way he shuffles, he gets out shuffled. The bad thing is that whenever Floyd feels like it, he could walk Loma down and beat the brakes off him.

 

Yup, funny how people are using an inactive 37 year old Rigondeaux that moved up two weight classes to fight a bigger, and in his prime, pound for pound top guy, as the one they want to use in these hypothetical matchups. That's like taking the Ali that lost to Spinks, and basing arguments about how he would do against other era heavyweights on that Ali.

 

both Pac and MAB fought at 122 at one point in time. Rigo would have whooped MAB arse at 122. He would have been a pickem with Pac. If the fight takes place at 126, or higher, then of course Pac would be a huge favorite, and the Barrera fight becomes harder for Rigs, but not unwinnable. Rigondeaux is small for 122. Size matters as he found out against Loma.

 

What makes you think Rigo would have whooped Mab at 122? Or Pac?

Pac was way more active than Donaire, much bigger at that weight, hit hard with both hands and not just the left hook. He would have ran through Rigo. Look at the ledwaba fight, he simply couldn’t handle that sort of power. Sure Rigo is a lot more skilled but it don’t change the fact he wouldnt be able to handle that power or pressure.

Same with MAB. Those guys were just too big for RIgo even at 122. Too tough and too skilled. At least MAB was way more skilled than Donaire ever was who’s rigos best win by far.

 

The truth is when it comes time to sign on the dotted line, very few if any of the top fighters from 126-135 want any part of Lomachenko.

 

I’d say pac did pretty good against mayweather for having one arm. Imagine if he had two?
