    Agreed with what you said about boxing having shrunken. The problem with Loma is he fights in the lower weights, since the 1970s there has no been one fighter who fights under 147s who has been the star of boxing. Duran, Chavez all the big names all had to get to 147 before their names really became huge and that’s when boxing was a household sport.

    Loma won’t be a household name or huge just because he beat pac. If he had beat pac in the height of his popularity then maybe but that’s not the pac that we’re talking about.

    Both Floyd and Pacquiao became huge stars immediately after beating an old shot ODLH who fought on free HBO post and pre each of those fights. With that said, this is a new era, an era of social media, and an era that is shallow on the talent pool, anything is possible.

    DLH was only 34 when he fought Floyd. Not in his prime, but not washed-up yet.

    I voted no simply because, he is too good to be labeled as a fighter that only whoops up on older fighters. That being said, it's an intrihuing fight. I want to see how much Pac has left.
