That only is he far better looking than ward and mayweather, his boxing is far more easy on the eye.
Ward clinches and head butts, mayweather holds, pot shots then runs. Lomo merges attack and defence in one unit. Whilst hes attacking hes always defending, the way he hits and spins off must be truely frustrating. Throw in his incredible hand speed and you have the connor mcgregor of boxing.
Best fighter ivd ever seen.
Rigo does not have more intelligence than loma. Loma is already more exciting than rigo, and you know it. Face it the fans have seen both and prefer loma.
Then you don't know f...about boxing. Go and watch how Rigo neutralizes another fighter weapon. Then again, the way you talk, you might not know what you are watching. Rigo disarmed the highly touted Donaire's left hook and jab. Made Donaire look like an amateur.
You need to stick to promoting white pride on racist website name storm something.
Didn't Lomo loose to a guy with 13 losses and was stopped like 6 times?
He gets beat in his second pro fight does that mean he's a bum?
Bum...........has NOTHING to do with skills its a fighter who doesn't give his best effort! Nothing to do with talent or skill set or anything else.
In the current mix I'll take Chocolatito, he blends his offense & defense together as he applies pressure. I like Lomo but he gets sloppy at times and looses focus briefly. To bad he didn't turn pro 10 years ago.

If Rigo had more killer instinct, not only would he still be undefeated, but would have a 90% KO ratio on top of it. Rigo gets tagged once in a while, so does Loma. Both of them are beautiful to watch, but both of them have a glaring attribute that bugs me.
Rigo has no real killer instinct.
Loma does not sit down on his punches.
Could you imagine how both of them could take over the sport with a little tweaking? The two of them are the best movers in the game. Both can thread a needle with their punches and have more ring awareness than any fighter out there. Both are so close to perfection.
You are crazy, my man. I used watch Arturo Gatti showboat on bums/cans. The point is, fighting bums/cans, you can get away with many mistakes. Everyone makes them. What you didn't see was Loma getting caught with shots he wasn't supposed to get hit with. What also you guys didn't see was that what Loma was doing made the fight harder for him than it should have been.
The difference with Rigo is his IQ, power and efficiency. Rigo makes every punch counts. Loma still in the learning process, though. Rigo is Master boxer, while Loma is an exuberant boxing student full of potential.

No you said you're more Impressed with Rigo and said Loma makes too many mistakes and I just pointed out that Rigo was dropped by some Jap bum, I know how good Rigo is I just don't think he is better than Loma, I also think Loma has a lot more variation to his offense that Rigo

You took that all wrong.
I'm not knocking Floyd, I think Floyd is arguably the best boxer of the last decade/generation whatever you want to call it.
I'm not drawing any comparisons to Floyd, at all.
What I am alluding to is speaking of fights out of context, "He lost to Salido" and putting a period at the end of that sentence. A tactic a lot of posters use here to dismiss certain fighters, one of them being Floyd.
Doesn't every fighter struggle with a rugged opponent at least once in their career?
Even Floyd struggled with Castillo, who had a similar style to Salido.
Castillo even outlanded Floyd in their fight.
People are going to use that Salido fight against Loma for the rest of his career.
It's just a lazy way to try and discredit Loma.
Loma arguably won the Salido fight. I don't care what anyone says.
Talk about a lazy way to put things... You didn't address the actual facts of the fight and the fighters, just the politics of him being able to pass on the fight, Floyd sucks, etc. Floyd did fight conservatively many times and he deserves that criticism but that doesn't deflect from the fact that he's accomplished FAR more than Loma and the comparison is foolish. Give the guy time to prove himself because he's done little aside from seeming very impressive. His first moderate test, he failed. So don't be dazzled by the sizzle before you even bite the steak.

Listen I'm just excited for the kid. He has tons to prove still, tons. And the nuthugging doesn't help his cause now, but people are on his nuts for a reason. He's ****ing exciting. There is no fighter like him at the moment.
To saw he is pillow fisted is just wrong. He has KOs, he has respectable power, but if you listen to the guy he is all about balance, doing as much as needed. I wish more of his interviews were in English...right now at the pro game he is trying to save his energy, go to later rounds.
I am sure he does not have big power, but he has enough that no mater who he steps in the ring with down the line are not going to walk through him. He will sit a little more on his punches to gain the others respect. He had Salido hurt, and that was a big man in there that night.
Everyone is pulling this "pitty pat" **** now because he's done it a few times to set up his body shot. I get a feeling that no one even watched the fight but tuned in for the episode where he was throwing those light punches and said "oh he can't punch", even his sparring partners say that he can bang.
Anyway.......why bother, time will tell and all will see.
I got all my points on him whomever he fights.
Honestly....that is your argument? You need to go learn the sport. See how some of the greatests get dropped by (bums) and stop exposing yourself as a boxing ignoramus.

that guy who dropped rigo was way bigger and taller than him, I guess people forget these are ALL professional fighters... a lot of the greats have been knocked down by opponents who people thought they would run through. its funny that these so called boxing fans have to sht on other boxers who aren't their fav to prove their point, not to mention lomo just beat what would be called a bum if it was rigo who fought him and its not much protest about it
Haha lol that's why Rigo got dropped by some jap bum

Best fighter ivd ever seen.
You label him a great fighter and compare him to Connor McGregor and then you label him the best fighter you've ever seen and the criteria you use is Mayweather and Ward?
You're talking of merging attack with defense? Maybe try watching some Ray Leonard videos or Roberto Duran or Muhammad Ali. Jeez.
The best boxer you've ever seen got beaten by Salido...that great world beater, Orlando Salido lol
Look, don't jump on Loma's dick just yet, he is good but he hasn't beaten anyone of note yet. Relax.
Lol, ok. Unless you have some sort of predictive resume you're just sounding goofy. No one predicts consistently in this game. Not even the most revered coaches, analysts, etc. Things change, lifestyles change, injuries happen, etc. The fun is making the predictions and seeing what takes place. Saying that you get credit for predictions that haven't come to fruition yet is just bizarre..
Be patient, man. I happen to believe that he will evolve as a fighter. We're not so different. You're just jumping the gun a little, or a lot. We'll see .
How am I jumping the gun? I did not echo the original post of this thread, just said I see a little pop in his right hook that can be built upon. You, my friend, said he has Malignaggi level power, not me. Malignaggi, at no time, has had a left hook to rival Loma's right hook. Malignaggi, at no time, has had the same athleticism and mindset of offense. As I hope you know, the foundation of power is in the tool and the mindset.
If you are referring to picking fights, I have made some notable picks. Dont usually bother unless i have seen extensive footage of each guy. But what I am referring to is not picking who will win a fight, it's seeing tools that have potential to be refined and redefined into something greater.
This skill is acquired via an eclectic mix of practical application (lacing them up) and being well versed in martial thought overall. In other words, I know what I'm talking about.
But if you don't trust...then here's some numbers. Malignaggi had 9 losses out of 50 or so fights in his amateur career and Loma only had one loss out of 400 or so. In the Pro ranks Loma already has about half the total ko's in his 2 year career that Malignaggis has acquired in his 14 year career. Loma in his last two fights has handed fighters their first KO loss.
That seems to indicate since his loss to Salido, he has been trying to throw with more authority. And it's only upward from here. I'm willing to bet that by the time Loma hangs them up, he will have doubled or possibly even tripled Malignaggi's kos.........
hes a great boxer, I would love to see him adapt better vs a gritty dirty fighter tho... like salido... when Floyd was early in his career vs these caliber opponents he looked flawless and had a killer instinct as well why do you all use his late 147 style as the standard of his style?! he clinched n used more footwork as he got older and wansnt able to do certain things he used to. as for Lomo I don't know about the best ever until he fights world champions and wins consistently. great to watch tho and excited about his future, no doubt
to use his style to sht on ward n Floyd makes no sense, they are all great at what they do and do it differently.
Interesting theory! I hadn't considered that his hands might be shot but it's entirely possible. Maybe not even shot, his bone structure just might not be able to take the punishment. It happens, even among the elites.
The broadcast team mentioned it during his last fight. Roy Jones said Lomo already has hand problems which probably why he doesn't sit down on all of his shots.
