    I'm not saying that I did mention that in the post aswell but he said Loma has 0 wins over top 10 P4P fighter when Infact he does so we have to include that because the poster above is wrong.

    The truth is Loma knows it as well so when faced with the reality he quit and his fan boys want to give him a pass.

    Loma is the Goat
    Only way to beat him is foul him or outweigh him by 100lb lol

    Nah, he's a very good fighter, but seriously overrated. I bumped another thread from a few years back, where posters thought a prime Floyd wouldn't take a round and loma would stop him mid rounds lol

    Floyd at 130-135 would beat the crap out of loma and stop him. It wouldn't be competitive

    You can discredit the win all you want the fact is you said he has 0 wins against any top 10 P4P fighter when infact he does you didn't do your research and were flat out wrong.

    And who are the P4P fighters that Loma missed out on ? it's easy to claim something like "well Loma hasn't beaten any P4P fighters" but who are the P4P fighters he could've fought ?

    Usyk hasn't beaten any P4P fighters neither has Inoue and yet they're considered greats.

    It's not excuses though when a opinion i have is the majority and most feel Loma won the fight vs Haney. If you made a poll right now and asked people who they thought won the fight it would be like 80-20 in favour of Loma.

    The Salido fight was a flat out farce he didn't make the weight weighed in as a Welterweight and was allowed to low blow Loma all night long without a single warning or point deduction.

    And if you think i'm making excuses well here's the video for you to see yourself you tell me if you think it's fair that Salido didn't get a single warning or point deduction.

    That's rubbish i'm not biased at all i'm known as one of the most balanced posters on this site for example i scored Loma vs Lopez 7-5 for Lopez so clearly so i'm not biased.

    Competitive fights can be bad decisions aswell for example Golovkin vs Canelo 1 is considered a bad decision even though Canelo won 5 rounds. The issue is it's a stretch to say he won anymore than that and that's the case with Loma vs Haney.

    Could i possibly see a draw in the Loma vs Haney fight ? maybe. But 7 rounds for Haney let alone 8 ? no i'm sorry i don't see it.

    Don't bother, man. With no sense of irony, the anti-Loma crowd likes to decry the bias/lack-of-objectivity of Loma fans.

    Exactly the lomasexuals are so deranged it’s unbelievable.

    Chances are the likes of Floyd, Pacquiao, Azumah Nelson would likely put him in hospital.

    Imagine Loma vs Duran at 130-135?
    A wooden overcoat would unfortunately be required

    Yeah but that would be true for any fighter around his weightclass right now not just Loma.

    Losing to arguably the best H2H fighter of all time in Lightweight is not exactly a bad thing and Stevenson, Tank, Haney, would also get the same treatment.

    I am not sure that should be sanctioned as he may have a better chance on death row as sentences can get committed or seek clemency. Put him in with is like justified homicide.

    I never understood treating judges' decisions like they're sacrosanct, it's essentially 3 guys who gave their opinion, put in 3 different guys and you'll get another opinion. Lazy BoxRec analyses. The closest thing we have to objective fight scoring is AI and it had Loma winning that Haney fight.

    Another point I want to make is people throwing out the whole "excuse making" whenever you try and look at the context of fights. I get that people do make illegitimate excuses and fighters should definitely avoid them, but as fans this idea that you should just ignore circumstances around a fight when analyzing careers etc is odd.

    Loma fought a rough vet in his SECOND pro fight who missed weight, resorted to illegal tactics etc and lost a close decision due to obvious lack of experience. It's not "excuses" to point it out, the context of that loss is not the same as a prime fighter getting schooled or KO'd, treating every loss as if it's the same is just dumb. Of course context matters.

    Yeah but none othe others has been called goat for years.

    I had to sit and read crap for years about loma being miles better than Floyd and manny and it was nonsense

    This isn't a dig at you, but he Was massively overrated at a time. Like guys literally said fighters like Floyd wouldn't touch him.

    Now I trolled with usyk, I hold my hands up, but the loma love was way overhyped. He's a very talented guy, but not half as good as many proclaimed

    You miss the point which is that if Loma is who the Lomasexuals think he is, he is supposed to do what Ali did to Sonny Liston to Duran. I hope that explains why this excellent boxer is overrated.

    That is the truth 100%. The funny thing is believe it or not I like and respect Loma a great deal but his supporters with their lunacy puts you off.

    Precisely
    Guys like Floyd and manny apparently couldn't lay a glove on him just a few years ago lol

    I agree with the thread. He is the most overhyped fighter in recent memory. Of course he is an excellent fighter, but he doesnt come close to the standards many thought

    Yep he is an awesome talent, like many before him, but when you start to disregard greats who were much better, then it is very off putting
