    @ 126.. Would be amazing, shame they missed each other by like 6-7 years.

    Marquez solved Pacquiao's southpaw style but would he solve Loma? seems silly seeing as he had a loss to inferior Salido, but we can forgive him being his 2nd fight.

    Jmm even in his prime to me was a poor man's version of Finito Lopez, who had better defense and even a deadlier offense than Jmm ever had, but Jmm was still a force to be reckoned with. He excelled when fighters came to him, but he still actually more than held his own against difficult stylists or boxer/punchers like undefeated southpaw Norwood and at 130 undefeated Chris John, whom I think Marquez really should of won, but got robbed. At this point I'll go with Jmm over Loma at 126 cuz Jmm really was at his best here with fast hands and accurate combination punching at it's best vs very good competition like Salido and Norwood. Still, Loma's amateur pedigree can't be ignored and he'd have a solid chance against any fw in history. I'd still like to see if he has really made the full transition to pro boxing cuz Salido won't be the only high profile pressure fighter he'll be fighting. Loma is a great boxer, but need to see if he can handle pressure for 12 rounds. I give him the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure he'd be favored against a LSC, Mares, or even Walters, but still would like to confirm.
