    I understand hypotheticals, D4.

    But to be mentioned in the rarified air of the ATG's, in my eyes, he would have to be the man at 3 of the original 8 weight divisions. That would mean being universally regarded as the best from 126, from where he is now, all the way up to 147. All the while beating guys that merit consideration into the HOF themselves.

    He'd probably have to have about 70 fights, and one, if not more epic trilogies.

    I think it was a combination of Salido just giving zero fucks, and Lomas inexperience in a 12 round championship fight in his 2nd pro bout. I think Loma will be a great fighter, and he showed class in defeat, against a guy who lost the belt on the scales, ballooned up to 140+ pounds, and tried to destroy his family ***els, with the ref not doing jack shit.

    I think he learns from this, and moves on to bigger and better things.

        Nah, he is lacking certain genetic gifts, and I don't just mean the BBC. He has a short reach and narrow shoulders, body like a fridge kinda like Usyk.

        He will be put to sleep like Pacquiao trust me.

            Unlikely many he has not padded his record, most fighters are fighting gimmes till they hit 20 fights, or more as in case of Wilder.

            SRR had his fair share of padding to.

            It will be the quality that is important to overthrow SRR.
            SSR also fought in era where almost all of his losses were because he was "asked" i mean forced to lose by the mob.

            Most young fans don't know how corrupt boxing was in the early to mid 20th century due to the Mob.

              His position at the top of the tree seems unreachable for the modern day pros no matter who they fight?

              But can the greatest amateur of all time topple SRR in record time?

              Loma could be a world champion in his 2nd pro fight and there are huge fights out there for him Rigo, Donaire, Santa Cruz, Frampton, Mares and as he moves up the likes of Garcia.

              And all of this in his first 20 fights.

              If he were to gets these wins and win titles from feather to maybe up to welter surely you would have to consider him as the new no 1 ATG.

              looooooool barely beating Pedraza right now

                      Higher weight, in a better place in his life.

                      42 power punches landed in a round.

                      When was the last time somebody landed that many?
