    Thats one hell of an accomplishment, and if he beats Haney then Loma gotta be the lowest-fight best run in history, might be already.
    Its what happens when you have been pampered your whole career and given title shots without deserving them and never having to work for them.

      We don't see anything close to that from Loma.
      Oscar came of KOing a MW when he fought Floyd, and Floyd gave him over a stone in weight on the night, now compare what you said to Manny fighting Oscar.

      Trying to bash Floyd in a Loma thread is just hating BS.

        He must have been lucky as it hasn't happened before. Im not even a Lom,a fan, I just see his resume is stellar for the number of pro fights he had, considering the lower weights..

        Why is it so hard to give the top guys a little bit of credit occasionally.

            What did I saw that was untrue? You think he deserved a shot at the title in his 2nd pro fight? Deserved it in his 3rd fight after losing the previous one? Deserved a shot at Haney after a robbery vs Ortiz? Its all factual.

              How many times has Lomachenko fought a Top 10 P4P ranked fighter at all? Just one in Rigondeaux I think.

              Floyd fought more Top 5 ranked guys in the division being fought in in that 8 year period post Oscar than Lomachenko has in his entire career.
              That's not true for several reasons. Loma always fought the best available opponent. The majority of his fights were either against champions or top ranked fighters, sometimes in the form of mandatories or not. This is exactly what he's been doing his entire career. Ninety percent of his fights are title fights. Floyd was fighting an over-the-hill Shane Mosely, a cherry pick in Maidana who had the crap beat out of by an old retired Erik Morales, guys like Gatti, another totally shot fighter, a Carlos Baldomir, a Sharmba Mitchel ... LMAO ... Come on man. Let's just be honest.

                I'm just being honest. It was well known that Oscar was on the down slide and lost two of his last three fights (maybe three) before Floyd. He was an obvious shot fighter and retired the next year. So just stop with the BS. Nobody is buying it.

                And I bring up Floyd because all you fanboys get so tricked when someone is honest about Floyd that I can't help but do it for the laughs. I like to point out the double standards and hypocrisy. It makes me chuckle every time.

                    People don't realize how ballsy it was to fight Orlando Salido in just his 2nd pro fight. Then to follow it up against Gary Russell.

                      Well no, it's literally true.

                      Gatti, Baldomir and Mitchell were pre Oscar so not sure why you've brought those up.

                      Post Oscar he fought;

                      Hatton - P4P #8 WBA Welterweight Champion
                      Marquez - P4P #2
                      Mosley P4P #3, #1 WW WBA Champion
                      Ortiz - #2 WW WBC Champion
                      Cotto - #1 JMW WBA Champion
                      Guererro - P4P #10, #3 WW
                      Canelo - P4P #9, #1 JMW WBC Champion
                      Maidanna - WBA Champion
                      Pacquaio - P4P #2, #1 WW WBO Champion

                      So, literally every fight he had for the following 8 years post Oscar was either against a reigning champion, a Top 5 ranked fighter in the division or a Top 10 P4P ranked fighter back to back.

                      Which is more P4P ranked fighters than Lomachenko has fought in his entire career, more reigning world champion Lomachenko has fought in his entire career, and more Top 5 ranked fighters in the divison being fought in than Lomachenko has fought in his entire career.

                      So yeah, that's "being honest".
