Prime Marcos Maidana vs. Lomachenko at 140

Lomachenko would win but he'd have to fight a perfect fight for 12 rounds, that dude Maidana is the definition of a dangerous fighter, you never expect a lot from him but he always manages to show up. Dangerous for anyone at that weight ever.

Who wins this fight? I think Maidana beats him via 11th round TKO. Too big, and too powerful. Lomachenko is too small for 140 in my opinion.

Stupid question, but, How does loma cope with an aggressive swarmer like maidana was vs floyd. Shrink maidana then down to 130 can lomas footwork and offense keep maidana aggression at bay. I dont think we can judge bases on 2nd pro fights either. Look at bhop , floyd, aj, fury, Joyce, usyk 2nd pro fights compared to them currently or their prime and they've learnt a lot, regardless of amateur experience

When Maidana was at 140 he was green, crude and still learning how to fight. He was game, tough, and hit hard but had to come from way behind to quit Ortiz. Loma is too skillful for that Maidana even giving up weight , size and punching power. Loma wins in my opinion but Loma is not taking fights at 140 when he is a natural featherweight.

loma would get waxed at 140, lets see how he does against a tough challenge at 135 next time out, 1 v 2 in the division, that's what we want to see in boxing

Loma at 130 looks like an ATG candidate...at 135 he looks good but pedestrian...at 140, I mean, who knows...he is a special fighter so hard to really bet against him but at some point he is going to be too small

Probably Maidana. He’s way bigger than Loma with a good chin and lots of power. He is also relentless. I think he’d probably wear him down and stop him late

The better scenario is making Maidana a natural 130 pounder since Lom's not a 140 pounder and will never fight at 147 like Maidana fought at.
