I used to say Loma would beat Mayweather years ago, and people laughed, but now it's actually seen as more of a plausibility. Loma's performance against Roman Martinez (although he's no Corrales) is better than anything I've seen Mayweather do. There is a complexity to Loma's game and an adaptability to his opponent that's so uncanny, I haven't seen that from Mayweather. Mayweather's best performance is considered to be vs Corrales, but actually break down what Mayweather did to win that fight, not anything spectacular or difficult to read. Lomachenko is virtually impossible to read. Jones Jr (who I believe is TBE) couldn't discern a pattern of attack from Lomachenko, either. No more can the black supremacists (like Pimp C who's actually white) laugh whenever anyone at 130 is put forward as a guy to beat him. Typical of the likes of Pimp C, they won't be able to give you reasoning beyond 'Mayweather has great defence, he knows how to hit and not get hit, he will just confuse you with his jab and keep you at bay' - they just don't have that understanding of boxing to go beyond that level of analysis. EDIT: Look at the post above me that I've just seen after posting this post, by Pimp C, doesn't that just prove my point?
lomas first 7 fights is better then floyds first 25 fights Loma also had a much better armature record then floyd
Amateur boxing is irrelevant when discussing the pro game. Loma for 7 fights has a good resume but he did indeed lose. I'd like to see him avenge his loss to Salido but it seems like Salido doesn't want it.
How in the hell does Loma get by PBF's huge reach advantage in the fight dummy. This isn't a video game you fool PBF can and knows how to fight tall. He just won't allow Loma to come inside without Loma paying a heavy price. PBF could dictate range and distance on Loma all day long his footwork is just as good if not better and he has better reflexes. You have the same dumbass outlook about PBF-Pac to you don't understand boxing the ability to control range and distance is the key in this match up jackass, when will you realize this? Just like it was in the PBF-Pac fight another fight you predicted wrongly and are still bitter to this day dummy. You're the kind of novice boxing fan who thought Pac was actually faster than PBF in the ring of both hand and foot and that Pac would overwhelm PBF with angles and work rate. How did that work out for you? PBF will use his length and ATG footwork and ring IQ to keep the proper range on Loma and why wouldn't he? He has a huge advantage in reach. He has better reflexes and with his longer arms will be able to hit Loma at distances that he can't do anything about he can then move accordingly forcing Loma to reset. If he choses he could engage Loma on the inside where he would get the better of him to because Loma can be had there and PBF is the stronger larger man. Loma isn't beating PBF in a boxing match you can forget about it. PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Loma dummy a guy with longer arms than him who's faster has better reflexes a better counter puncher better defense and just as good of footwork who's also a boxing master. If anyone loses this fight it will be loma his short arms will do him in here. You have no credibility and are a racist anyway you suck off GGG and made a thread saying that PBF never dared to be great but are a GGG fan a guy who's resume is the biggest joke in boxing. You suck Pac off and are still bitter about May 2nd 2015. You're a sore loser who's mad because PBF proved your dumbass wrong time and time again. You're a novice boxing fan who knows nothing about technical aspects of boxing you refuse to understand the ability how being able to control range and dictating distance is the most important thing in the PBF-Loma match up. Learn something about the sport until then log off troll.
Not sure who'd win here, but I would put money on the version of Salido that fought Vasyl beating Floyd in his second pro fight.
Yep! This has been going on for over a decade with FM! Ridiculous! It's funny though, when these hypothetical match ups are made about Kovalev or 3G, the ATG's are now bums that never fought anyone! HMMM, I wonder what it could be?
Floyd certainly deserves to be the favourite in any hypothetical 130lb matchup, however Lomachenko certainly has the skills to challenge him. Would've been Floyd's toughest fight in my opinion, and to be honest we have to see the rest of Lomachenko's career before calling this.
Don't matter! If this fight happened and Floyd had won, Loma would have been considered too green to give Floyd any type of credit!
