    A bonafide warrior, amateur GOAT, ATG skills, ducked no one, was ducked by everyone with a name.

    Got robbed against Haney, got cheated against Salido, should have never lost to Teofimo (he dominated Teo in the few rounds he decided to fight)

    Loma is everything a real fighter should be

        Let's just be honest. He should the the undisputed lightweight champion right now. And with Lopez, that fight should have at least been recorded as a draw with Lopez fighting him for a second time. Everybody was picking him to beat Lopez in the second go around but Lopez ducked him.

        It's a bit of a tragedy really because some people will just look at the record without knowing the context behind everything. He was denied a monumental achievement because Nevada wants to create the next Floyd Mayweather in Devin Haney.

        Boxing is an illusion, much like the WWE. You always have a heel and a face. You follow the script, and if you go off script, you get screwed. They see Devin as being someone who will bring in lots of money into the sport, especially in Vegas, where he's from. Nobody is going to let Devin lose unless they have someone lined up to replace him. Then Devin will be the heel, and we can start the charade all over again.

        But in response to your question, real boxing fans and connoisseurs will know that Loma is one of the best in the history of the sport. He's a living legend at the moment. Most people considering him the real undisputed champ. Too bad it's "unofficial."

          Not an ATG as of right now but 3 division champion fought a veteran former champion in what his 2nd pro fight and Salido came in overweight. Been in with plenty of really good fighters has some impressive wins and his losses were not embarrassing or onesided at all.

            Legendary amatuer. He'll be a first ballot HOFer no doubt.

            I also hope that he is in some way a cautionary tale about turning pro mid in your mid 20's.

              First ballet of hamer. Fastest to win a world title and 3 division champ. He never should have fought over 126 lbs with his small frame. Him and inoue have the same exact frame.

                Arguably, the greatest Jr. Lightweight of all time.

                  He's a maestro! His best weights were feather/ super feather. A much better fighter than his pro record may indicate. I have no idea wtf he was thinking against Lopez as he GAVE AWAY the 1st six rounds. IMO, he's gotten a little too enamored with his ability to out box/ run circles around his opponents and he doesn't bank rounds. I thought he lost against Ortiz for that reason, although, I wasnt scoring the fight as I watched.

                    He was far up ahead on that AI video against Haney. They should do that AI thingy on the Lopez fight and I wouldn't be shocked to see the same results.

                    Meaning he's still technically undefeated.

                      Great fighter but started too late as many said. Mid 20s would be your prime in the lighter weightclasses. As a HW you can postpone the prime all the way to even 35 in some cases.
