Lee Oma vs. 2017 heavyweights

Dude, which ATG in modern times loses 19 times?

 

No they don't that's just your personal interpretation of it! Look Oma just wasn't that good !

 

Gavilan has almost as many losses as Mayweather has wins.
Yet, some people would pick Gavilan to beat Mayweather!

Does that say something about records then vs. now?

 

No they don't that s just your personal interpretation of it! Look Oma just wasn't that good !

How many have 143 fights over 15 years?You're trying to excuse Oma's losses on the basis of frequent fights, but his schedule was no busier than most other fighters how do you explain them not losing long sequences of fights?

 

You have strayed so far from the original topic you're in another continent now,I'd rather stay on topic.

 

Bob Satterfield. Pretty good boxer....25 losses!
Joe Walcott...18 losses! Who the **** has 18 losses these days? lol. And he had 51 wins.

C'mon. There's obviously something screwy here.

 

Forget about that.
I'm onto something far greater!

 

Fritzie Zivic had 60 losses. He's regarded as a very good fighter.

 

Satterfield, like Oma was a party hound plus he was essentially a light heavy competing with heavyweights and he wasn't very durable . Walcott took fights at short notice without the benefit of proper training,diet, or a decent manager.What's Oma's excuse?

 

What exactly was Walcott's diet ?
I hear he didn't have a great diet but he looked well-nourished in almost every picture I've ever seen of him.

 

Grits , possum,and black-eyed peas.

 

65 actually he also had 232 fights and 21 of those losses were when he was past prime. I wonder how many losses Oma would accrue had he had the same number?

 

My calculation has it at 67.
The proportion of losses-from-fights is about the same.
Unless my maths is off ?

Oma lost a greater proportion on the first half of his career so from the stats you could equally argue he was pre-prime and that he improved.
I heard he took some dives anyway.

I'm not saying he was good but I don't think any of these questions can be answered merely with stats and numbers, how many losses etc.

 

Imma get me some !
