Well he didn't outbox him in a sense that Loma was lost, he really started too late. He wasn't getting mauled early, just inactive. Once he turned it up he was hitting Lopez at will. Lopez was hurting him with shots though, the power is real. Both guys were well conditioned and had great chins.
I don't know why peeps are so scared to just say, one great fighter beat another.
And Floyd stops Lopez, easy work.
Yeah Loma just gave away the early rounds.
I await the Teo v Floyd thread.
I am really surprised. No way in hell I thought Teo could outbox him.

Mayweather at which point in time though?
Idk right now I feel like there isn't enough evidence Lomachenko would win a fight of that magnitude. Not that he would definitely lose, just that I'm not yet ready to put Loma in the pantheon of ATG fighters like PBF.
He's seriously talented though, one of the best few in the world right now, and seems to have years to go at this level. Ask me again in a few years.. I'll probably have a more developed opinion.
But gun to my head right now, I think I have to pick PBF. The fact that I'm any bit hesitant about it when the opponent is a fighter with fewer than 10 pro fights should tell you the regard in which I hold Loma.
Fair enough assessment.
Mayweather in any point in time, any version you feel best fits your argument.
I think both fighters bring out the best of both fighters and I have no problem with people giving Floyd the edge based off his experience.

I didn't say it was irrelevant...but once you attain the level of an olympic caliber amateur, what more is there to achieve? There has been a lot of top amateurs that have flopped as pros. When discussing guys like floyd and loma, it comes down to talent. So how many more amateur fights would have prepared loma for salido?
None, because that's exactly the type of opposition that the amateurs doesn't prepare you for...guys like Salido are learning experiences in themselves you just have to go through...but that doesn't change the fact that having a deep amateur experience is valuable in the pros, and sure many great amateurs fail in the pros, but every fighter is different and guys like Lomachenko and RiGODdeaux don't need a 40 fight resume to realize they are elite and generational talents.
