duran was known to party and get fat both are 5'7" with duran having a 66" reach and loma having a 65" reach
No, they're not. Loma is 5'7" with a 65 1/2" reach. SRL is 5'10" and a 74" reach. Loma has never fought as a WW. Leonard never fought below WW.
Not close man. Castillo would have made Linares his *****. Recall what DeMarco did to Linares, and DeMarco isn't near Castillo in ability.
Loma just dominated a unification fight by putting on a clinic after shoulder surgery. He limited his toolbox until he had the win in hand and only then did he let it rip in devastating fashion in the 11th to test it out. His wizardry of angles hasn't been seen in ages inside the squared circle. This is a featherweight doing this at lightweight. It's remarkable. And yes, Loma would have taken apart Floyd at 135lbs (which was Floyd's best weight class). Floyd struggled with southpaws until he was well into his 30's. Hell, he was still a bit awkward with Ortiz. Loma's hummingbird style is remarkable. He's constantly applying pressure , right in the bread basket popping off shots and toying with people inside....and then in a second he's off you and countering off the back foot and spinning away. He never let's up.
No, it's a lightweight doing it at lighweight. The man is solid at the weight, he's built like a tank, compact and stout for his size. And no, Loma wouldn't have taken apart Floyd. He'd have likely been KO'd by Floyd.
The more appropriate fact is pbf was 19 when he turned pro loma was 26 a prime grown man. Stop acting like loma turned pro as a teenager he didnt it's not the same. If loma turned pro at 19 he wouldnt be fighting salido for his 2nd pro fight and if he did he would have been destroyed.
135 wasn't pbfs best weight class dummy. Pbf doesnt get taken apart by anyone in boxing history at 135 let alone a guy who he would dwarf in the ring and hold advantages over. Log off you wishful thinking fool. Ffs Pedraza with his length movement and boxing ability made loma look bad pbf is 1000000000 times better and bigger and longer than him.
