    A club fighter. Guys like him were a dime a dozen back then.

    Clubs? Like Golf?

    I think Loma would be a good Golfer.

    Loma with a golf club would make the Armstrong fight much more competitive

    He certainly looks the part, but I'd like to see how well he does in this one first.

    He's a class fighter, and I think he'd have success in any era. Hard to say just how good he is at this point, for how much.

    He would do well, I think. But he would be forced to rein in a large, very crucial aspect of his game. It would be very difficult to pull off the same footwork in leather shoes on a slippery canvas, but I believe he had the athleticism and mental capacity to adapt it successfully. He could resemble a shiftier version of Tunney in the 1930’s.
