    DLH TKO/KO. Loma really shouldn't be fighting above 130 pounds IMO.

    Too much size and age difference to take in to consideration. So, on that, giving Loma a chance where they were in the same division, and at his best, 130, Oscar was there from ages 19 to 22. He was no way near as polished as he was later, hence him being called a one armed fighter.

    At 130, Loma v (19 - 22yo) Oscar, would be a tough one. Oscar's size would be difficult for anyone at that weight. And he hit like a mule even then. I'd say close fight, but have to lean towards Oscar. But Loma's experience advantage would keep him a live dog.

    Any higher weights obviously Oscar.

    Fishnet by KO due to major size difference.

    This is what everybody said leading up to the Pacquiao fight. Myself chief among them. Pac too small, etc...

    Pac's a completely different offensive beast than Lomachenko when it comes to speed and power.

    Interestingly, Oscar only had two career fights at 130, both title fights. If we base the fight on when ODLH fought at 130 I can see the ultra-experienced Lomachenko getting the UD win but I wouldn't bet on it. Loma has the same skills at 135 as he does at 130 but is not physically suited for the division. I'd make De La Hoya a big favorite at lightweight.

    I think Loma is more skilled P4P (top 10 all time). But Oscar is too big. I see Oscar winning a wide UD

    Oscar is naturally bigger so Oscar.

    I was all mad at Oscar, pickin' on the little dude that started at 108 or thereabouts. Consumed by righteous indignation even. Lol that was dumb. What I didn't see is how burly Pac was by that time. Short, yes. Small? Not so much. That learned me alright. ;)

    Well he was trying to sign MP at the time and get him away from Arum. They wanted a catchweight originally but Oskee agreed at welter. Oskee was washed at this point though
