At 130. Floyd smokes lomachenko

[Sugar Adam Ali]

If anybody thinks that Floyd smokes the greatest amateur fighter of all-time, a2-division champ in 7 fights, the man who holds the greatest footwork in boxing history......

****ing clowns.


Floyd struggled with certain random bums at 130 but he beats Loma? Please.

Lmao... This dude got loma rated higher than ali and robinson..

Where was loma's great footwork when salido was crashing into him and loma held on for dear life for most of the fight

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Loma didn't look special against an out of shape Salido.

Castillo was Floyd's FIRST fight at 135.

Castillo is better than anybody on Loma's resume.

So what if it was his first? Floyd was an experienced professional boxer at that point. Salido was Lomachenko's 2nd professional fight, and 1st opponent that actually had a pulse.

LOL @ comparing a guy who's already retired. By the end of Gary Russell Jr.'s career, he'll have a better resume than Castillo.

Floyd 19yrs old going pro.

Loma 25yrs old going pro.

Ends there. And here's another way of shattering the comparison. Loma was already at Lightweight from 2011 going forward and chose Featherweight going pro, whereas Floyd went the opposite direction called "moving up".

Doe.

Loma is 28 years old.

Floyd won his first title when he was like 22.


When floyd was 28 years old, had 2 fights:
Unifying/winning the 147 lineal championship and beating DLH at 154.
So basically floyd was a 5 division champ at 28.

In any event, 22 year old floyd would soundly beat 28 year old Loma at 130.

Im just annoyed at the way people like to bend the accomplishments of guys with extensive amateur backgrounds. That was their decision to stay amateur longer and to turn pro at a later age. Most of the time they dont get as far, sometimes they do but ultimately taking out extra years from their prime usually holds back their pro legacy rather than help it.

1. It's only in the past couple of years that promotional opportunities opened up for some of these guys. The only game in town was Germany, low profile and money. So a lot of them never turned pro.
2. However many amateur fights, fighting this level of comp within 10 fights is super impressive, since like you said, it's not the same game, most of all 3 vs 12 rounds. That's why pretty much nobody does it.

Floyd Mayweather took a knee against Carlos Famoso Hernandez as well

he wasnt hit by a punch...he hurt his hand on the guys hard noggin

[therealpugilist]

Go on, list the guys at 130 floyd "struggled" with. Im waiting

he knows better, or he should.

Jesus chavez tried his damndest but he took a beating for it....closet classic.


Thats when the "he struggles with pressure" myth started.

The detractors were oblivious to the high punch landed %, his ability to fight inside and off the ropes, and the fact that he battered and stopped a fighter who was tough as nails.

[therealpugilist]

Of course I watched Floyd at 130, and he is slower than Loma. Especially on feet.

pass the dutchie, my friend. Mayweather is clearly the superior athlete

Mayweather is clearly much bigger and stronger. But Lomachenko is clearly faster.
