Here we go again! @TheyDontBoxNoMore7 spewing more drivel about Loma! What about Walters who you picked to beat him? Remember when that thread was bumped? Someone wasn't very happy! Yes... You will wait for Lomachenko to lose.. Even if it's 3-4 years(or longer) and many successful wins from now - you'll bump this thread and claim to be right. Wonder how many more failed predictions you'll make?
PBF always loses these types of polls but never loses in the ring, funny how that works. People picking Loma here are delusional and overzealous, Loma is great a true talent but PBF is the GOAT at 130 and the best fighter of his era. PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Loma he's bigger longer faster better reflexes better handspeed better defense better counter punching ability and more power. PBF wold fight tall against Loma using his reach and ability to beat Loma to the punch and catch and counter him as he tries to come in. The extreme reach advantage PBF has in this fight can't be simply overlooked. Loma will have to try and sell out to get inside of PBFs reach a place where he doesn't even want to be in the first place and he will pay a heavy price for trying to do so it isn't his style. The ability to control range and dictate distance is the key in this fight and PBF has this in spades. Also Loma can be had on the inside where PBF is too strong and too good there for Loma. You're a goddamn fool if you think Loma is outboxing PBF to a win that won't happen. You can't outbox PBF unless you're name is SRR or Hearns PBF has outboxed better fighters than Loma has. He's not knocking PBF out so how the hell does he win? At the end of the day PBF is just too good and too big for Loma who he would dwarf in the ring and take advantage of.
Salido did. And Hatton, Cotto, Mosley Gatti, 165 lb. Oscar and Canelo couldn't hurt him, but Lomachenko who went the distance with 5'4 FEATHERWEIGHT Gary Russell would stop him. Dude, I think you sit on your computer while you shoot Hey-Ron sometimes.
Floyd is not the GOAT at 130. His best win there is Diego Corrales, a good, but limited puncher. We have guys like Duran who have beaten fighters like Marcel at 130. That is the **** right there.
I pick Mayweather to beat Loma anyways. But I could change my pick depending on how Lomachenko looks against Garcia. But for right now I think Mayweather is too strong for Loma.
I haven't formed a strong opinion one way or the other about this hypothetical but reading through the thread it is amusing how you know which posters will pick which boxer before you read the posts.
This. They have a loop of some of PBF's fights on utoob. If you watch them, he looks quite competitive against what Lomachenko looked like beating up an opponent that 130lb Floyd would have toyed with as well. At this point, Hi-Tech has yet to fight anybody as good as Floyd's better opposition. Lomachenko may end up being considered better than Floyd. That could happen. But it's waaaayyyyyyyy too early to be stating it as fact.
Easy fight for Floyd with his 7" reach advantage the right hand would reach often and very precise probably will end all busted up in the floor.
I can't speak for any other poster but my opinions are rendered based on demonstrated skills. One thing that they are never based on and that is the nationality or color of the fighter.
May might be too big for Loma. But both have equal skill and on an even playing field it's 50-50. I do think May's win over Chico is abit overrated, but it's still by far anything Loma has done at this point.
