If Loma was Black.

I like how technically excellent he is.

There is a reason why he is mentioned with Floyd and Pernell.

He has such a command of the science that sometimes he looks as if he is competing in a different sport entirely.

I respect that kind of skill.

But, we agree that he is going to have to display it against better opponents.

And, I do understand folks resenting some of those comparisons.

After all, Floyd never lost.

And we won't know if the comparison to Pernell (who had a loss early in his career) will be apt until we get further down the road.

What I saw last night vs Sosa wasn't as impressive as Floyd or Pernell. Plus they were called runners even when they had KOs.
