    I think people forget what Manny did. He did the amazing so many times, people began to expect it.

    A former light fly weight bossed Mosley for 12 rounds putting him on his ass putting him in survival mode, and people called it a bad performance.

      I think 140 is his limit and even there he would have some height/reach and weight issues. He would be outweighed already at 140. 147 could be for a few fluke wins against non elite opponents.

      I think he walks around at 145 max.

        Yeah but to be honest Manny did it on an era where PED testing was almost non existant. I'm not saying he used PEDs but we don't know.

          Manny is a bit shorter but had a longer reach.

          Manny had natural power though, something Loma would desperately need to fend off some of the bigger guys.

            Loma's absolute peak will be 140 and even that's pushing it. He doesn't have the frame to fight at 147.

              You mean the era between 1867 - 2010

              They have had drug testing when Manny was fighting as wells as health blood check 30 days before.

              Some organization had WADA standards testing.

              Floyd's tests were never Olympic standard and had many holes in it as well.

              There is a reason why USADA catches no one but VADA testing has caught loads.


              Lets not forget the fighter caught by this no-existent testing such as Roy Jones, Mosley, Toney. But never Manny.

                He's 5'7 and walks around 138lb (read in an interview a couple of years ago).

                He's basically around Pacquiao's size.

                I think Loma will go to 135.... 140 may be too much, but who knows..maybe he'd surprise if he went up there too.

                  Nearly it’s too early to tell that you can’t just make such bold claims size plays a big part. Loma could possibly pull it off but Spence and Crawford ain’t nothing to play with he won’t be able to bully them like lil rigo.

                    Hey. Pacquiao fan here, and spent years defending VADA over USADA, etc.

                    Prime Pacquiao was such a draw that it woudln't surprise me if he was on very expensive drugs and/or masking agents. I hope not tbh.

                    Mayweather is not someone I'd look after, don't worry, I never bought his IV TUE story.
