    Hes a natural 126 with a small frame. He should watch out, I think he doesn’t carry as much power in his punches.

    I don’t think he should ever approach 140, he isn’t taking roids either. Just beat everyone at 130 and maybe 135 but it’s a risk.


    Loma might end up with a few losses in his career and I think it’s unfair because nobody around his size could ever even come close to beating him.

    Yeah I tend to agree, he has a small frame for 135, not that he couldn’t be successful up there, just unknown area that would be more dangerous.

    name height reach
    Vasyl Lomachenko 5'7" 65.5"
    Roberto Duran 5'7" 66"
    Manny Pacquiao 5'5.5" 67"
    Henry Armstrong 5'5.5" 67"
    Tony Canzoneri 5'4" 65"

    Anything less than welterweight and he's a *****.

    You’re actually an idiot

    There are different body frames, there are even 6 foot fighters at much lower weights.

    Clearly, that's why he just went up and stopped next to Mikey, the best guy in the division.

    At 5'7" Loma has the height to put 15 on it. He is not fragile by a long shot.

    Dudes please.

    Is he great or is it "kinda good"?

    Duran fought the greatest WW, the greatest JMW, and the greatest MW of my lifetime, and fought two of them to a standstill.

    Paq has won 8 titles.

    Henry Armstrong held Feather, light and Welter titles AT THE SAME TIME when there were no junior titles.

    Mayweather gave up 15 lbs. in the ring at 154.

    This is true. Please post these fighters’ wrist sizes and then we can have a proper scientific discussion.

    Pac has 8 inch wrists, for example.

    Mayweather had longer reach than 95 percent of his opponents. He had the frame to pack on the weight.

    The man hasn't lost in a few years. Stop with the excuses for a future loss. Dwight Mohammed Qawi was 5'6, he fought at light heavyweight, cruiserweight, and even heavyweight. Now his dimensions were really out of place for those weight classes. Loma's aren't. Loma looks strong at 135 to me, and he punches hard enough. Made Linares quit with a body shot.

    :eaea: Not even that long ago the JMM that faced Manny coming straight off his utter domination of a peaking (?) MAB might very well have ended the hype before it started. Settle down. The pool is nearly empty of sharks now.

    I agree but he's also too good & can negate size somewhat.
