PBF Vs Loma @ 130 prime for prime...who wins?

Seriously? You're asking if someone with 9 fights can beat the greatest fighter of his generation at one of his great weights? Really *****?

Seriously Loma may be this generation's greatest fighter. Why can't this generation have a better fighter than the last generation? Most people rank Loma 1st pfp over Andre Ward and everyone else. Loma's amateur record of 398 wins and 1 loss with 2 gold medals beats the hell out of Mayweather's amateur record of 84 wins and 8 losses with 1 bronze medal. Mayweather won his first world title after 18 fights and 2 years as a pro. Loma won his first world title in his 3rd fight after only a year as a pro. Loma is number 1 pfp at 130 today. I don't think Mayweather was ever pfp number 1 at 130. It's a legit question who would have won a fight between the two of them at 130. The proof of that is so many posters think Loma would have defeated Mayweather, my self included.

This would be one for the ages. I think I am going with Mayweather. The combination of defense, speed, power and ring IQ would cause many issues for Loma.

On the other hand, Loma presents a challenge Mayweather very well might not have faced before-- a highly skilled, well conditioned fighter with a ring IQ to match. However, Mayweather's craftiness may befuddle and frustrate Loma the way Salido did.

How y'all see this one playing out?

Floyd more power. That would be the difference.

Loma easy work, he'll beat that ass.

[QUOTE=Vegemil;17577920]But he never fought anybody as slick as Loma. We saw what happened when a monster puncher in Axeman tried to take him on.[/QUOTE

You didn't just compare Walters to Mayweather? Yes, Mayweather fought Emmanuel "drunken master" Augustus.

Despite that you have to believe, as a boxing fan, both of them matching up at 130 prime would be intriguing. Wouldn't you think?

Wow...

That's some easy reading.

So in your book completely outclassing Gary Russell Jr is nothing special?

Russell was coming off a long lay off I believe. This is why he's chasing down a rematch. Besides, that I think he underestimated Loma, and end up fighting a ****** fight.

If the only time I ever saw Loma fight was the Salido fight I would pick Mayweather in a one sided fight. After watching Loma's last few fights I would pick him to beat Mayweather. I think Loma would slaughter Salido in a rematch. Would a 130 pound Mayweather beat Martinez and Walters as easily as Loma beat them? I doubt it. The Loma of today is as fast and tricky and hard to hit as Mayweather was. He throws many more punches and punches a bit harder than Mayweather. I think it's a very close fight but I think the Loma I saw last night might beat Mayweather. Give Loma a few more pro fights and he might get even better than he is now.

Mayweather had more power than Loma at 130. Loma won't be throwing a lot of punches against Mayweather, as it will be a chess - match. Mayweather would have forced him to think before he throws.

Corrales was better than Walters and Manfredy and Genaro Hernandez were better than Martinez.

Floyd Mayweather would be too fast, and strong at the weight for Lomachenko! from a technical perspective, they are quite even but athletically? Mayweather would just be too much at 130 pounds for Lomachenko! I don't really think there are any fighters at 130-135 with serious punching power ether! Mayweather if he really wanted to could just bull forward against Lomachenko, and dismantle him!

There is a reason why Lomachenko won't fight at 140+, because as a athlete he lacks the physical strength and durability to move up through the weights like Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao!

When isn't Russell coming off a long layoff? This might all be true but in my opinion, Russell is a damn good fighter so completely dominating him is something special.
