Is Loma not as good as we thought?

[-Kev-]

Excellent Fighter but he was never "BETTER THAN..." Floyd, Ali, Pacquiao and whoever TF Else Arum tried to Proclaim him as being better than

You remember when he beat Russell Jr and Rigondeux and his fans were making threads that he would school Mayweather at 130 and that he’s a better SFW than Mayweather?

I mean after a while his fans finally came off their high, and then it was easier to finally appreciate Loma without all the exaggeration from some fans.

I always said it, he was a good amateur and that's it, he lost to Salido then uncle Bob started fixing fights in his favor..got whooped by teofimo and schooled by a kid in Haney. His fan boys are delusional just like ggg bandwagoners.

I like Loma now, but i’m not necessarily a fan boy. Like if I see him in the streets, I would show him respect and want a picture with him of course. I’d probably be happy to see him, but I mean if you’re a boxing fan, why wouldn’t you? Former world champion, crazy ass amateur record, fought the best fighters around his weight (tried to fight Tank).

With that said, I thought he beat Haney. Unlike what his fanboys say, no he didn’t beat Salido or Lopez. But I had him beating Haney.

He's a great fighter and probably better than mayweather but the difference is he don't have a privilege or money to buy the judges like mayweather.

I agree with that and I really like Loma. Begs the question though. If Mayweather and Pacquiao are generational talents, then what is a Roy Jones Jr ( who is arguably a level of talent ABOVE even Manny and Floyd which is hard to imagine but it's true)... Is ANY boxer of ANY era at Roy's talent level?

I think in terms of raw talent nobody was as good as Roy. Other great fighters achieved more than Roy though.

Let’s not get carried away here. Devin
is 24 and definitely not in his prime. Just like Canelo wasn’t in his prime when he lost at 23 to Mayweather.

Loma fought a young, hungry champion who was weight drained and no where near his prime. However, Loma isn’t at his prime either. Let’s give the fighters the respect they deserve but let’s not try to twist the story to fit a narrative.
