    Hell yes he is!

    Can he potentially be an ATG?

    It seems he is off to an excellent start.

    Should he be compared to greats right now?

    HELL NO!!!!!

    You have to beat other GREAT FIGHTERS to be great.

    Last I checked, Loma hasn't done that yet.

    He has good, not great wins on his resume.

    And while some want to marvel at all he has done in so few pro fights, I wonder what exactly SHOULD WE HAVE EXPECTED from a guy with so much experience, amateur notwithstanding.
    lol yeah I hear you on this. Happens all the time. People are excited when someone looks to be on the way to a good career and draw comparisons in their style and abilities to some of the best ever. Broner was being compared to the best boxers ever as well, and we know now he is not going to be an ATG (still a solid fighter tho).

    I'd be surprised if Loma tumbles down as hard as Broner did but it isn't a foregone conclusion that he's going to be an ATG.

      Lomas a beast, tank is a beast. I bring up tank because Id bet my left nut that the "tank supporters" are the biggest criticizers of Loma and vice versa. Berchelt beats the **** out of both of them doe. see what I did there...

          I like Loma, but let's face it. The guy spent his life in the amateurs. He's 29 years old and doesn't have a lot of prime years left, especially at that size.

          If he's going to shake up the world for real, he needs to get into some big fights very soon. Which also means he'll have to move up -- where he may not be very successful.

                all the greats got criticism if he goes on to be one I don't see why hed be exempt. hes good as hell and doing what he is supposed to do with who is in front of him. I don't see much hating just a few complaints about the level of comp he just faced, nobody can deny his skill, he needs to tighten up on his defense tho....calm down

                    I kinda miss the Joe Smith Jr one but now that he doesn't have the title it feels silly to still have it up
