    Is Loma not as good as we thought?

    People were talking about him like the second coming of Christ.

    Can you imagine a prime Manny Pacquiao getting beaten by Teofimo Lopez? He’d batter him and stop him. It wouldn’t be competitive.

    He’s got 3 losses now in 20 fights.

    Perhaps he’s not quite as elite as we initially thought?

      Well in the eyes of most he beat somebody 11 years younger with a big weight advantage at 35 years old you tell me? Depends how much you rate Haney i guess.

        He is not as good as Pacquiao or Mayweather (but who is?) and some people obviously got carried away by elevating him to that level. He is still great boxer though! I will still call him special, majority of his fights are fun.

          nice try, prime Pac lost two fight in row, and got beat by school teacher. See? it is easy to downplay any fighter. Anyone with eyes and not plain hater for whatever reason, knows Loma is special fighter.

              Actually Loma is even better than I thought. He just clearly beat younger bigger faster guy. Lomas IQ is on different level compared to all of them

                  Don't try to explain obvious things to racist asses. They clearly racists or trolls. I don't care about Lomas personality (I know for a fact that he is arrogant person) but as a boxer he is absolutely special one of a kind. Always fun to watch his iq level is on different level

                    Loma has fought better fighters in 20 fights than almost everyone today will in their whole careers. He should have never went past 130 lbs, he wouldn't have lost another fight until Shakur came along to challenge him but he went up and fought much bigger guys and ultimately it was too much for him. He did just arguably beat a 24 year old that people slobber all over for some reason. Maybe we should be asking if Haney is not as good as we thought?
