Prime duran vs loma? How do you think it would go?

@ your quote of Warroom. I remember when he said that. It still cracks me up because of how absurd it is.

Yeah it was memorable. The original Elroy had some incredible takes... I think it was he who said "Pacman is a more refined version of Duran."

Easy work for Duran. He wins by KO in the mid to late rounds.

Seems much more likely that Duran says "NO MAS."

[BodyBagz]

Loma at his best would be too slick.
Durans aggression would only make Lomas job easier.

The all-time greatest lightweight, who went on to beat Sugar Ray Leonard and be competitive with Marvin Hagler at higher weights...is going to quit against a guy who lost to Orlando Salido and Teofimo Lopez?

Naw.

Lima he accomplished a lot, but I’m not convinced of his ATG status head to head.

Duran wins I think, must likely by cuncossive knockout.

[earl_grey]

Yes — Chocolatito is an ATG, but not P4P. Just at his weight class

When Duran retired, had a record of 16-5 (13 KOs) in World Title fights. That's in a 33 year long pro career. Lomachenko, right now, has a record of 12-2 (9 KOs) in World Title fights. That's in a period of eight years. And Loma is still going.

Duran's win percentage in title fights is 76 percent. Loma's win percentage in title fights is 85 percent.

Loma makes Duran say NO MAS I rest my case. (And yeah, I know it hurts. )

They didn't have 4 belts in Duran's lightweight era.

Today everybody and their mom is a world champion. And "world title fights" are a dime a dozen.

So no, throwing numbers out there without context doesn't prove anything. Sorry.

Hands of Stone > Orlando Salido. It is what it is.

Everyone knows Loma beat Salido. One judge sure as hell thought he did. Anyway, my only takeaway from what you said is that it's easier now to have much higher quality competition because of the number of champions available. In other words, Duran fought a lot of bums.

And you're right. Loma doesn't make Duran say "NO MAS." Loma makes Duran say "NO MASCHENKO."
