    It’s surely far too early to tell. He obviously has huge potential, maybe to be rated as a great.....eventually.
    He’s only had a handful of fights, but achieved so much already.
    We’ll probably get a better idea after, say 30 + bouts in my opinion.
    The word great is often used too prematurely in sport generally.

    Does he though? He’s Thirty two, thirty three in Feb. Lower weight class fighters with the exception of Pacquiao tend to age a bit faster. Can Loma do what he does at thirty five, thirty six? Just my thoughts as I love Loma but Father Time is unbeaten and I can’t see Loma fighting Frequently in this post COVID-19 era of boxing.

    Loma has only fought twice a year since starting his career. At this pace he will likely not even reach 20 pro bouts let alone 30.

    Loma's pro resume is judged differently because he sets the standard in that department.

    World Champ in third fight, now on a 13 fight title streak in multiple weights.

    Wow, didn’t realise that. I just wonder whether the supposed superstars of today don’t need to fight so often because they earn mega bucks for each fight. Also ppv adds to that.
    I’m pretty certain we don’t get the amount of ‘super fights’ we had in the 80s & early 90s.
    It seemed most weeks we had a huge fight somewhere.
    Maybe it’s my rose tinted spectacles !

    Love the guy but it would be a stretch to put him in the top 100.

    what has he done, really? i mean, i dont have mikey in the top 100, what has loma done that mikey didnt also do? as far as what counts towards atg status? actually, mikey has done more, he just got a top 10 win in his 5th division. whats worth, at least 60 atg spots by some posters estimates, that loma is doing? the 4 guys that quit on him? the footwork? give me a smart analysis showing you understand the context, and help me to see what im not seeing.

    Right now probably around 600th.

    For perspective... he has a looooong way to go to surpass Roman Gonzalez's achievements and resume.
