Lomachenko after 3 fights vs Mayweather after 3 fights at 130

[kardsufur]

well one thing I'll admit is that lomachenko's low output in the middle rounds won't necessarily hinder him in this one as it would be a chess match anyway. Floyd probably eeks it out but I can see it being close

Mayweather was a beast at 130, a damn near phenom.

In turn, Mayweather via very wide decision.

I am surprised at some of the responses here, who has actually seen Floyd's early fights, he struggled in his second fight for example. Plus he was brought along against journeymen like most prospects. Albeit at a faster pace then normal. If it was both of them in their third fight, I would favour lomachenko, simply because he entered the pro ranks with confidence and the mental and physical toughness to be world champion straight away. With Floyd he started already with the physical, the mental was built up in those early fights. Sparring is not a good barometer either, it can be misleading.

But boxing is about building a career/legacy, and Lomachenko will never come close to achieving what Floyd has, and ultimately that is what is about.

Floyd wins by not fighting him.

Floyd struggled in a couple of his early fights. He improved hugely as he went along. Loma is already at top level.

I would still probably favor floyd but with no confidence.

either way rigo at the same stage beats both.

Floyd ,

he started at 130, while Loma is at 126 , he has a longer reach and I think he's also stronger .

At the lower weights he could also pack a good punch , i'd definitely favor him.

Yeah, but Loma actually lost his second fight

Who wins? Loma would have been much older with much more experience but Floyd was already beating up champions in sparring at a young age and would become champ around a year later. Obviously Floyd is much better than Russell but Russell was older and had more experience too.

lomachenko got paid in this fight, tell me if you don't see a professional fight in this one...

After 3 fights? Loma hands down. Come on y'all.

Floyd couldn't even get into clubs yet. Lomachenko is in his prime now, Floyd wasn't yet. Floyd was still fighting 4 rounders. He hadn't even upgraded to 6 rounders yet. Loma has nearly triple the number of amateur fights, won two Olympic Gold Medals, won 7 semi-pro fights and had already been in the ring with top level opposition at the pro level.

What's next? Errol Spence beats Devon Alexander?

A year later when Floyd got more experience under his belt obviously he would win. But you bring fighters up slow for a reason. After 3 fights he wouldn't be ready.

i'd pick loma to easily UD floyd.
