Isn't it a bit naive to expect past era fighters to be competitive against modern fighters...?

    What's your point here? Loma beats Duran? Because Duran is one of the worst style match ups possible for Loma, next to Armstrong.

    Nobody hammers Loma. Duran, on the other hand, has been FLATLINED.

    Really? You actually believe that? How do you know?

    Tell ANYONE about the legend of Greb, who know boxing, then show them that video and see what they say.

    Can you imagine telling Mayweather that Greb is the GOAT and then showing him that video? LOL

    If they know boxing, they knew who he beat. And if they know that then they'll agree with me.

    Someone who beat Tunney, Gibbons, Rosenbloom, Loughran, Walker ect. Clearly isn't poor

    Duran KOs Loma. Loma will always have trouble with a skilled pressure fighter, and Duran is the most skilled in filmed boxing history, and more physical to boot. Loma's boxing is still typical of soviet standards, which I've explained before. Loma doesn't punch whilst you punch and counter. He works his feet and volume punching in the center of the ring, turns the angle and then resets. Linares is porous defensively after throwing, yet Loma never exploited this once, instead stopping him on the body shot. This is awful against Duran, who would repeatedly feint and time Loma with a huge right hand. He's also way too physical for Loma to handle.

    'Course, you're very likely a troll with that 'FLATLINED' comment. Bye.

    More rose tinted thinking.

    NOBODY IN FOUR HUNDRED FIGHTS has KO'ed Loma, so stop with the dreaming.

    I'm a troll? Listen to yourself! Tommy DID flatline Duran, in one of the most brutal KO's ever. That's a fact.

    Loma has NEVER received that kind of treatment.

    Ah, troll. Got it.

    Got an actual, analytic rebuttal to my point? Or are you gonna bring up Duran's 154 lb+ (lol) bouts?

    An ATG, awful stylistic match up, with wicked power and skill, at 154 POUNDS KO'd past peak Duran. OK. What's your point?

    You have just said that Duran KO's Loma.

    I stated that NOBODY in HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of fight has done so. So how am I trolling?

    I'm a big believer in the "Law of Averages", but Loma has defied that since he started Boxing. He isn't getting KO'ed by anyone, full stop.
