Got to hand it to 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.
I think you mean FLOYD MONEY MAYWEATHER. His path of least resistance started with Oscar De La Hoya, who was on a losing streak and slipping quickly, well past his best. (He almost lost that fight too). And from there, it was just cherry pick after cherry pick.
We don't see anything close to that from Loma.
Trying to bash Floyd in a Loma thread is just hating BS.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.
Floyd literally only fought fighters that were reigning champions, ranked in the Top 5 of the division being fought or in the P4P Top 10 for the following 8 years straight after he fought Oscar.
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.Comment

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.Last edited by Cypocryphy; 05-16-2023, 09:59 PM.Comment

You Lomasexuals are always good entertainment

Well no, it's literally true.
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.
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".
