I see people bringing this up all the time (especially a few specific posters), so let's get an idea here of how many people feel Floyd Mayweather would beat Salido in his 2nd pro fight. This is a perfect example because Floyd started fighting at 130 so Salido would be in his weight class.
So picture this, Floyd coming in at 130 limit in his 2nd fight against Salido. Salido doesn't make weight and comes in bigger as a 50 pro fight veteran, uses dirty tactics throughout the fight. Would Floyd, KO Salido, win the fight convincingly by points, win a close fight, lose a close fight, lose a wide decision, or get KOed.
Also if Floyd did lose this fight would you hold it against him?
This crap never ends does it!
Simply disrespectful to mention Loma and Floyd right now!
If he's so good that you have the impudence to make a mythical match up with him and one of the greatest to put on a pair of boxing gloves then let's have at it!
Let's see it got damn it, why don't Floyd come outta retirement and fight Loma at 147! That's right, Loma is so good then let's see it!
Loma will have youth, foot speed, and possibly hand speed in his favor! Not to mention he's the more active fighter!
Or if you Loma die hard fans whine about that's not fair tben let's Loma do this
-Beat Mikey Garcia by domination
-move up to 140 and beat either Prograis or Postol by domination
-move up to 147 and beat Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia and Errol Spence by domination or clear win.
Then we can mention Floyd and that's still being generous!
Yeah sorry didn't phrase it right today's loma vs the castillo Floyd fought. He arguably beat mayweather in the first fight but lost the second.
I would of liked to see a prime jm marquez at lightweight vs loma
I think stylistically he matches up well with marquez. pac's speed and southpaw stance gave marquez fits, and loma's footwork is on another level. marquez liked to dip under the left hand and come back with his right hand counter...loma would be stepping around him while he hit air. he'd still have to perform better than he did vs linares tho.
How would loma do against castillo same one who fought Floyd in his prime.
right now as a lw? he outboxes him most likely. Castillo was too slow...would be interesting tho loma wouldn't get through without having to fight in spots.
and that hook had absolutely nothing on it. also he hit with the inside of the glove which is illegal but you aren't new to boxing i'm sure you knew that. he landed a couple of those lil tappy hooks against pac too. they sucked but you will overemphasize anything when you dont have much to go on and ignore all the legit shots pac was landing. did you see the lil tap!!! amazing!!! who needs to rock your opponents head around when you can lightly graze it? same thing right? worth the same right? the devolution of boxing and the boxing fan. all to protect some guy who has a meh resume and didnt even want to fight his best rival peers(when they were good)
Inside of the glove or not, that's a perfect example of the reactions of how good Floyd was at 38... when it's a reaction type punch it's much harder to control turning it over, we've all seen guys get hurt by less as well. It's a scoring punch and that's what counts.
What bothers me about this whole thread, and most of these threads lately is it brings out the racists, the haters, and all of the other detractors of either Floyd and/or Lomachenko.
Floyd is an top ATG, end of story. Where history places him, idk. I don't care what age he was when he fought fighter x,y, or z. He's there, that's all there is to it.
Lomachenko? He started pro later, but has accumulated 2 gold medals and is the best amateur likely in the history of the sport. He's ducked no one, and only seems to want the absolute best. His team seems to be smart and imo they understand with that many amateur fights and his activity level in the ring now will not lend to a long career in the pros. If he fought and beat 5 or even 8 of the best guys he could get, and beat them all, not only would he be a first ballot HOFer, but he would be considered by many to also be an ATG... that's right in case anyone takes issue with it... I said could be an ATG with 5-8 more class wins. His resume has cut out many of the bums that other guys who come up slow with less experience come up with... golovkin couldn't seem to get big challenges, yet he stayed at 160 anyway. He's small, he's this, he's that... that's just bullsh1t from loser fans who aren't interested in pure skilled type fighters who WANT the best. Golovkin is 38-0-1 with TWO quality fighters... one very close win, and a draw, 3 if you want to count WW Kell Brook, and if you're REALLY fuggin stupid, you'll count SMW Vanes with a 2 year lay off.... so 35 bums and no hopers. Now based on that, how in the MOTHERF**K would one have him #1 p4p over Lomachenko? That's beyond hilarious.
Point being... call me racist because I've made points for a dark fighter, and a not as dark fighter... and why another fighter doesn't deserve to be put in the same sentence with either. Don't like it? Go f**k yourselves.
Yeah but all of loma experience up to that point was ametur....and it's a different style......
Not true. He had 6 fights where he was paid, fought without headgear, fights were more than 3 rounds yet were counted as amateur.
These were really quasi pro fights.
is that it. those pity pat shots. :lol1: i know u hate to watch how pac countered floyd several times specially the one at round 4 that wobbled floyd. lmao.
Lol at "several times". Who countered who more? You know mr PED lost when not one media scorecard had him winning :rofl: :lol1:
He lost lololololol
:usa:

Give it up miserable old man!!
Pacquiao barely landed 10 "legit" shots the whole fight. HE LOST LMFAO
:lol1: :rofl: :usa:

Ok, so you picked Floyds closest fight. Ok wow, like --- is that all you got? Maidana got wrecked on the scorecards. Floyd was like 38 years old too lol. I was just looking at some highlights and had to cut this bit out. For a 38 year-old man to throw a hook on the highest of levels is pure magic, I mean he even pivots his left foot while his back is flat for full power in a blink of an eye and is out of there. Masterclass! The video has two passes, one real time and the other slow motion by 50% because the first time is so fast..
Perfect Left Hook from a 38 Year-Old Man
People like you aren't new to the game. Y'all live in a binary world and if the result wasn't clearly one way, it must have been the other. I'm sure this is some sort of mental illness. When someone like Floyd dominates almost everybody they fight and God forbid if they have a close fight, people like you jump on the he musta lost cuz he didn't dominate this guy band wagon. Y'all did the same thing to Jones in the Tarver 1 fight where he clearly won. That rematch scorched his legacy.

Oh and just for the record, not disputing that Floyd isn't ATG, he did his time and had his accomplishments, just pointing out that no matter the age, Salido is pretty much a tall order to ask from anyone as their 2nd fight.
To be honest i would not pick anybody to beat that salido in just there second fight.....not gonna happen i have seen early meayweather he would not have beaten that salido....in his first 5 fights.....maybe not his first 10 .........
Come on dude. You can't be serious with this. Age and experience matters.
Yeah but all of loma experience up to that point was ametur....and it's a different style......
And Floyd had 92 Amateur fights compared to Lomoz 397.
A 16 year-old Floyd wrecks Salido anyway, doesn't matter. But you're definitely stacking the deck to prove to the world that sucking Lomoz dick isn't gay.
Lol, like he wrecked Castillo in the first fight? Or Maidana
