    Can't say I'm surprised. Loma is a bad muh'****a.

    Only knock on Lomachenko is that he didn't want the KO loss from GrandPac.

    Loma has had the toughest first 12 fights of any pro ever. By the way; Walters, Rigo, Gary Russel jr, Linares, Pedraza, and Campbell are all damn good fighters yet Loma dominated ALL of them. Hell; even Marriaga, Sosa, Martinez, Salido, and Corolla are respectable fighters though not top level.

    So was Pacquio when he got starched of Marquez and yet five years later hes still going having added three x world titles to his resume.

    People said Hopkins was finished after Calzaghe, went on another 7 years partly unifying a division.

    Depends on the fighter.

    Seen as many youngsters finished off one loss than old fellas.

    Toughest first 12 fights is a highly subjective statement. And even if true it means absolutely nothing if his career ends without a marquee win of some kind. It's about your entire career not how tough your first 12 fights were because you chose not to turn pro until you were almost 30

    Those guys were already established all-time greats with long proven results. Not comparable

    Rigo is nothing from a historical point of view. He was also over 40 and jumped up two weight classes. it's not even on the level of Mayweather beating Marquez in fact it's not even close to that

    I don’t think that’s true. He absolutely embarrassed a P4P fighter in Donaire and is one of the greatest amateurs of all time. He definitely has a historical footprint in the sport.

    What weight class did he beat donaire in? Dragging a 40 year old up two weight classes and beating him is not historic.
    You know else is one of the greatest amateurs ever? Howard Davis Jr. Guess who cares? No one.

    It only means that to someone like you who doesn't understand context.

    Super Bantamweight. He did that to Donaire - who was on a very good run - in his 12th fight. That’s something.

    I did not say Loma beating Rigo was historic. You said Rigo is nothing from a historic point of view and I’m disputing that.
    Rigo wasn’t dragged up for a start, he was happy for that fight to be at that weight because no one else was interested in fighting him. I remember Frampton running with his tail between his legs from Rigo. In terms of a win, it’s not that great for Loma. But the performance was as he totally nullified Rigo purely with his boxing. Since then, Rigo has come back and won a world title, so even at this more advanced age than Loma beat him he’s still a very capable fighter.

    In short, an OK win but an excellent performance. There is such a thing as that.

    It's easy to look good when your fighting a 40 year old who hadnt won a fight in over a year who has no business in your weight class regardless of how good a fighter he is p4p. Your right, it's an ok win. The problem is that it's also his best win.

    Mayweather absolutely obliterated JMM at welterweight which by any objective measure is better than beating Rigo at LW and he continues to get zero credit for it at all because everyone knows JMM didn't belong a ww. The difference is JMM wasn't 40 years old coming off a 2 year layoff. He was an active top p4p fighter and it was Mayweather who was coming off the long layoff

    He prob thinks Teofilo Stevenson isn't worthy of note either. :lol:

    Loma's time in the vest alone would have made him worthy of celebration in the annals of boxing.

    Interesting thing is Loma actually defeated not just one, but two of Donaire's beaters. And he forced each one of them to say 'No Mas'. LOL.

    It’s not his best win. He’s the best boxer he’s beaten by some way but the weight class (less so the inactivity IMO) nullifies that somewhat.

    Yes because Mayweather didn’t even bother making weight for the fight against the guy that jumped up two weight classes. Two weight classes which constitute a bigger difference in weight than the two Rigo jumped up also. Even so, still a very good performance from Floyd from a technical point of view
