    Obviously the loma train will somehow say it's asking too much but IF LOMA was or is half the fighter his fans claim hed be chasing these fighters for their belts..

    Beating these fighters would prove what he's all about, but he could get run over, run right out the ring, that's why it's too much, he's NOT CLOSE to the fmj or pac of this Era..

    Those were once in a lifetime fighters, loma is just a hofer in the making

    I like Baranchyk. But I have to say I am a bit concerned with what I saw in this video. His eyes looked a bit glazed. The brow over his right eye was a bit swollen. That is unusual for a fighter to have prior to entering the ring. I had not seen him interviewed before so I don't know what he has always been like but he appeared as though he has taken a lot of shots. I hope I'm wrong but he seems to be showing early signs of damage from blows to the head. Words not slurred but not crisp either. We'll see.

    I put Loma ahead of Floyd in fighting skills. Floyd's reflexes are second to none but his overall skill set is not. What made Floyd so good were his innate phenomenal reflexes coupled with a tough, fighting-family background out of Detroit. The knowledge and way of life of the boxing trade was always around him. Pacquiao, on the other hand, was just a force of nature.

    I mean Loma could be, but the opponents he's been fighting is just not cutting it. His best win is probably Linares, would Linares even be a top 15 pbf or pac win?

    It's his reflexes and defensive ability PLUS his reach advantage over other fighters. If Loma had a 4 inch reach advantage instead of a reach disadvantage against his opponents they wouldn't even touch him.

    McGregor was one of the very few fighters to have both a slight height and reach advantage over Mayweather and we saw Mayweather thrown off his game. That pull counter of his would not work against a longer fighter with similar speed.

    Mayweather's offense isn't that great. He can't trade and win.

    Zlaticanin looked like a strong fighter too and Garcia killed him. Taylor is going to school this guy, he's not that good.

    Mikey looked like he was 2 divisions bigger than Zlaticanin.
