    Pretty Boy Floyd would punish Loma at that weight. Pretty Boy Floyd was a legit puncher with speed and skill. Pretty Boy Floyd wasn't afraid to mix it up either. This wasn't the boring Money Mayweather after his hands deteriorated.

      Pretty Boy Floyd is a true ATG in every sense of the word.

The guy is a nightmare to time as well. If we're talking prime floyd at 130, he takes it...if we're taking floyd with 8 fights vs loma with 8 fights...the edge goes to loma.
        You think so he seems typical euro to me, but extremely good at it just the same.

          Well what's typical euro mean? What exact traits are you talking about, and name some other typical euros with a similar style by comparison.

              My viewpoint on this is that they both have incredible movements in different ways. Floyd was unbelievably fast at that weight and hard to hit. Lomachenko seems to be impossible to hit when he's focused.

              Lomachenko's pivots and footwork are incredible in turning his opponents.

              Both had good power at the weight and different styles, both very active fighters who throw high volumes, I see it being either a war or a masterclass for one or the other. We'll never know though

                Loma has had 8 pro fights. He is still learning, still developing. He has only had 2 at this weight.

                When he has had ten more fights, people are going to answer this type of question very differently.

                  this could depend on if its a big fight. if its he's big fight, floyd wins, if he acts like loma aint nobody, loma might suprise him and win atleast 6 rounds.

                    PBF struggled against Castillo, let's not act like he was perfect. It's not a shutout for Floyd. I'd say wait and see mote fightd of Lomachenko before making a call.

                      They stand up very square move in straight lines high guard shoot straight punches they can look very tight , Americans and Mexican bend at the waist more hold a low guard and throw a lot of wide looping shots and bolos and move in a smoother way, the English and Aussies are more straight up than the euros.

                      In a general sense of course you always have exceptions, in Germany they don't teach that shoe shine like the Black Americans are famous for the euros are very text book correct.
