There is no denying Loma has great athleticism and a complete skill set in and out done with impressive fluidities but is it as impressive as Duran's? Duran is probably the most complete fighter we have extensive footage of, he integrated offence and defence and back with the fluidity skill, intelligence and instincts of a Jedi warrior.
How does Loma compare?
Thank you! The man was just an animal especially at 135. He beat Ray Leonard for Christ sake. Name me one fighter in the last 10 years that could beat Ray .
And he came up from 135 and did it.
Hearns & Benitez couldn't do it and they were bigger.
Roberto Duran is the greatest Hispanic fighter of all time and a top 10 ATG. Some idiot above said he has 16 losses. These kids are pathetic.

Duran had like 119 pro fights and 16 losses.
Motivated Duran was one of the best fighters ever. he was a lightweight able to win 147, 154 and 160 titles. Went distance with Hagler.
I don`t know how many losses would todays fighters have if they fought so often. Probably much more than Duran had.
How did he perform in his losses, and at what stage of his career? Sometimes even during a losing performance, great fighters should receive credit.
Evander Holyfield's first loss to Riddick Bowe, was a great performance.
Muhammad Ali's first loss to Joe Frazier, was another great performance etc
Apart from Hearns, Hagler, Ray Leonard and maybe Iran Barkley no fighter can really claim to have beaten the real Roberto Duran.
Lomachenko was is a great fighter, but he is a level below super great.
They're different fighters.
Duran was a monster, an animal.
Lomachenko is like (and this is not an insult) a ballerina (or whatever you call a male ballerina), graceful.
Ballerino?
Prime Duran would have beat the sht out of Lopez and make him cry in front of his daddy.
Loma is one of my current favorites, but saying he's better or more complete than legit all-time greats is just ridiculous.
Tired of threads like this.

How does Loma compare?Duran was better in my opinion and maybe the best lightweight ever. I can't imagine Loma lasting 12 rounds with the lightweight Duran. When he was lightweight champion he Koed just about all challengers.

Whether or not Loma is all those things compared to Duran is debatable, but I know I'd rather be Duran than Loma. Roberto at his best was something else.

Lomo is a very good fighter but Duran is better. Duran is an ATG. Duran's biggest problem was his lack of discipline. A motivated Duran was one of the best fighters ever.
Duraan beat Ray Leonard do i need to say more. Gave a hall of famer like Hagler arguably the greatest middleweight ever a real tough dfights as well. Lets be real now.
