Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Backing Lomachenko To Win: Why? Because They're Not Teofimo!

Ah yes poor OLD Loma.

No one called Mayweather old when he was about to fight Canelo. It was poor Canelo so young fighting the experienced Mayweather who apparently was older in age than Loma is now when he fought Canelo.

Some fighters handle later age better than others. Then you add in wear and tear. But the most important ingredients are cherry picking and draining like Mayweather did. Plus, Loma isn't a LW. He's over-spilled in that weight class. SF was the last weight he'd maximise himself in.

Aww diddums poor Loma - fighting big guys at 135 lol. Manny is shorter than Loma grew big balls and fought at 154 while Loma stuck at 135 at the age of 35 and has not beaten a big name

Styles make fights is something people learn very quickly in boxing. Although it seems some can't learn. Also, Pacquiao didn't fight at 154, he fought at 150 against a shot Margarito. There's a huge difference there i'm afraid.

Loma hasn't beaten a big name? What? Are the ones he beats not "Big names" when it suits you? Who were the big names at his weight classes over his career?

Took him until age 35 to finally grow some balls lol.
Haney at 24 was undisputed and is taking on the biggest names at an age where Loma was still fighting cab drivers. Where is the props for Haney?

Loma was fighting tiny dudes like Rigondeaux for the title. Guys who were bantamweight. When they had their second pre-fight weigh-in, Rigondeaux was 130 and Loma was nearly 140. On fight night Loma was around 148 and this was 6 years ago and yet people say he is small for 135 and should be in 130. Keep getting drunk on the Loma Kool Aid

You clearly don't know what a fallacy is either. No one is saying Rigo wasn't small at the weight. But that fight could have happened at 126 but Rigo turned down more money rather than face Loma. Loma didn't want to hang around for fighters who weren't willing to step in the ring with him. Loma only faced him because people were saying Rigo would win. People like you. Loma faced him, dominated him and forced him to quit. Then the narrative changed.

Are you saying Haney is the only big name Loma has fought in his career? Why is Haney a big name but the others aren't?

[Rodtang]

Just like Haney didn't lose to Kambosos. Why? Because he's not Teofimo.

Lomachenko is fighting a giant octopus at an advanced age. He’ll have to chase and make things happen. If he was the lanky one that could potshot from the outside he could go onto be 38 and still probably be favored by people that know boxing.

You guys would just say that Lomachenko was too old to potshot from long range. That he would be favored if he could just walk Haney down.

Taylor is gonna mop the floor with this guy. He's been regressing since the Loma fight. He desperately needs some new faces in his camp before his career completely derails

Boxing has a special way of keeping in check those with delusions so I'll just wait

Dude many people have been saying the Canelo Mayweather fought was not the real Canelo - that was the excuse many have been using. I am just stating what people said not sure what your point is since I am the one trying to point out excuses people use.

Yeah, I didn't mean it to sound as a hit towards you. It's just those excuses Canelo's fanboys make are ridiculous.

[alexnation]

No it means Loma fans should STFU about him being small when Manny and many other fighters have gone on to do bigger and better things.

Name one big HOF Loma has beaten at the age of 35? Yep silence lol

Lmfao are you really comparing Loma to Manny? How many fighters in boxing history have done what Manny did? PAC is a freak of nature. This is the worst argument you could have come up with

[jackblack008]

Loma doesn't have the influence to get Haney to 133 like Mayweather did to Canelo
