    Void could not even knock out the woman he beat up......................if he would have had Cole as a referee and was cheated like Lomachenko was, Void would have raised Hell..................

    Trust me, Floyd wanted to do it

    Bob at the time had many other stars that he could promote, therefore he didn't need to rush Floyd.

    He wanted to get Loma out there ASAP and that's why he listened to Loma's team to fast track

    And Loma fell flat on his face.

    Not at the level Floyd was fighting at when he turned pro. It took him 18 fights to get there, and that's a pretty fast track in the grand scheme of things.

    It boils down to this:

    If winning a title in your second fight was easy, a ton of guys would do it.

    If it was hard, a decent number of guys would've accomplished it.

    If it was damn hard, a few fighters would've done it.

    Zero fighters ever have. That encompasses every single ATG that's ever laced them up.

    That tells you all you need to know about how hard winning a title in your second pro fight is. No name dropping outside of Muangsurin really carries any weight.

    Pete Rademecher fought Floyd Patterson in his pro debut and managed to score a KD. Floyd didn't seem hurt though.

    There may have been some other polished amateurs throughout history that could have beaten world champions in their pro debuts. Weak world champs, of course.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Jean Pascal had lost at 175 against Michael Spinks or Evander Holyfield in their debuts. Holyfield was only a couple pounds over 175 really early on as a pro, he probably could have gotten done there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Roy Jones debuted at 154 and beat Luis Santana for a world title.

    Or Sugar Ray Leonard at 140 (he was barely above 140 early on) against Carlos Maussa, Artiro Gatti, or Amir Khan.

    Mike Tyson could have done it in my opinion.

    It basically comes down to the boxer and how active they are between fights, their temperament, ability to learn and quality of sparring partners.

    Tyson at 15 and 16 years of age was sparring Frank Bruno and Carl Williams - who were already established professionals.

    There is even a video of Tyson sparring Carl Williams on Youtube.

    You obviously have not watched Floyd's career set. Many of the first 25 guys he faced looked like they found them at the bus station.

    Yes, go to any fight and the undercard is full of up and coming prospects ko'ing guys in mismatches. It pads their resumes and makes for great entertainment before the main event.

    Loma impressed me tonight. He will learn fast. I have no doubt he'll win a title.
