Lomachenko after 3 fights vs Mayweather after 3 fights at 130

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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

In turn, Mayweather via very wide decision.

After 3 fights? No...

[ElMeroChingon]

Yeah, but Loma actually lost his second fight

2nd fight against Salido. who did Floyd fight doe?

[slimshandy69]

Loma schools him.....

[slimshandy69]

Yeah, but Loma actually lost his second fight

loma won that, plus the guy weighed 11 pounds heavier, cheated with only decent shots to the penis area.

Loma should be undefeated...

Going by the smile I am sensing a hint of sarcasm in your response. Clearly Lomachenko fought a dangerous and world championship level fighter in Salido. I stand by my initial assessment. Floyd was built up, they laid the foundations with him. I have his whole career on disc, some of those early performances were shaky, especially his second pro fight, and there were mistakes, as there would be with any 18/19 year old novice pro, no matter how talented. He started looking much more formidable after 10 fights, and by the time he fought Tony Pep it was clear that he was something special who was ready to win a world title. But that was his 17th fight I believe?

If it is the third fight, and I am assuming its 12 rounds, Lomachenko takes it in a close 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.

Beat Gary Russell and you have people thinking you can beat a young Mayweather.

Look what Mikey did to Salido. Then look how Loma struggled.

Loma did in 2 fights what Mayweather hasn't done in over 18 years.

He lost.

In 2 years time this kid will be better then anyone Floyd ever fought. Taking when he fought them into account of course...

[ButtScratcher^^]

We will never know. But Loma is unique, in this day and age of cherry picking madness; --he should be appreciated for taking the harder and darker road. Whether he would be successful or not, let's appreciate his warrior way.

pretty interesting matchup actually. Floyd was may more agressive back then and was actually a big puncher for the weight.

I can see Floyd stopping Vasyl in the latter rounds but i also can see Loma's footwork, speed and body attack giving a young Mayweather some problems.

I would take Floyd mostly because Vasyl's somewhat low workrate.

floyds never been a big puncher at any point in his career, he has always had respectable power, except maybe for those years at 147 before his retirement where he looked near feather-fisted
