    Castillo was volume and pressure and had over 10lbs on him. Lomo is a straight up boxer and that's Floyds domain this is battle of skills and boxing IQ.

    Look what Floyd does when he boxes the same Castillo in a rematch, he wins easy .

    Look at what Floyd did to JMM and then look at JMMs fights with Manny how could anybody make JMM look so amateurish but he did, nobody is going to out think and out box prime Floyd and nobody did.

      At that weight Floyd was just about unbeatable.

        People seem to forget how unbelievable a young Mayweather was. Money Mayweather was still a great fighter, but the younger Mayweather was untouchable.

        Loma is excellent, but he's not even close to what Mayweather was.

          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.
          ...and you think lomachenko fights like a typical euro?

            In many ways yes he is just such an outstanding fighter and at a light weight where speed rules its not as apparent as say Kovalez.

              He's been stepping around his opponents a lot more in his last few fights...i think his style is still evolving...but move in straight lines and just throw 1-2s from a high guard, he does not.

                I expected a wider poll


                I see a lot of votes for Loma, but I don't see a legit assessment to how he would beat a taller, longer, faster, stronger, more powerful fighter in Floyd

                Loma is a great fighter, but He'd get beat up vs Mayweather who often times, when faced with a boxer, mixed in aggression, and body shots.


                Loma wouldn't knock him out, and I doubt he can win 7 rounds out of twelve vs that athetic early 20s year old Floyd....this aint pot shot and make you miss money mayweather, here.....

                  ^^^^^this

                  Mayweathers footspeed and footwork offsets what Loma does well, which is make you miss, slip and dip, pivot and counter

                  Floyd has too long a reach for that approach and he is not naturally an aggressor

                  it will be his first time in there with a superior athlete and also Floyd was quicker off the trigger and could choose when to potshot and take the fight to Loma

                      I didn't say that I said he is such an outstanding fighter that is super fast because he is a little guy and the euro foundation is not so apparent because of that, nobody said he throws one two and that's it.

                      Its like if you were born raised and taught boxing in Russia you wont fight like a guy born raised and trained in Philly, if you look you can see the grass roots in these guys.
