Would Mayweather have lost to Salido in his second pro fight?

[Nubia]

Let's just for arguments sake say that the Salido who fought Lomachenko in his second fight hops in a time machine and faces Floyd for his second fight, they're the same weight division etc. Does Salido win?

Who knows. In floyd's 2nd pro fight he fought a guy who also only had 2 pro fights. Big difference in caliber of opponent that Loma faced.

An argument can be made though that Floyd lost to Castillo in his 28th Pro fight.

Salido would get dropped multiple times and stopped. It would be a worse beat down than Chico got. A clinic and a stoppage not a loss like Lomachenko.

Barely anyone here seen the fight loma got screwed point blank he didn't lose.

Floyd would lose to Salido right now.

An argument can be made that the same Castllo beats Lomachenko. Big difference in caliber of opponent in that Castillo compared to anyone on Lomachenko's resume. That Castillo >Salido that Lomachenko took a loss to.

People just won't let the Salido fight go. What's really funny about it though is that they are giving him a pass for ducking the rematch. Its like they don't want Loma to redeem himself just so they can keep hanging that fight over him.

As for the thread question- maybe maybe not. People act as if Loma was completely dominated when in fact Salido won a razor thin decision after cheating as much as possible. Floyd certainly was a special talent but fighting a guy like Salido in your 2nd pro fight is a bad idea.

I don't know tbh, but the thing is this:

Lomachenko is a very nice guy, nice personality, follows rules to a t. He got low blowed and bullied by Salido all over the ring and did nothing.

Floyd would not allow this, he believes in eye for an eye in the ring, he does not have a "nice" personality, he is not a little "sweetheart" like Loma is. If you foul him he'll get back at you, if you foul Loma he'll take it all night long, waiting on the ref to help him. The only time Floyd never got back at a fighter was against Judah and that's because he got hit hard first of all and couldn't even do anything right back, and secondly because his team had already started a riot. Kinda like when a batter gets mad at a bad strike call and the manager comes out screams at the top of his lung at the umpire, for his player, and gets ejected from the game. Managers do this tactic to prevent the team from losing a player via ejection. Basically Roger unintentionally did this for Floyd. There was no need to retaliate after that riot.

But we saw how Ortiz got dealt with after he went on his headbutting spree.
