Loma vs floyd

[pasawayako]

IMHO loma will make floyd quit out of frustration just like what he did to a master boxer rigo.

Rigo?

Top 10 p4p on a lot of people's lists. Hailed as a defensive genius with amazing footwork and power. (Until Loma smoked him.)

Actually has stats to back up those opinions too.

Compubox defense numbers supposdly had him ranked right next to Loma in terms of defensive hit %.

Rigo is very much Floyd like. Prefers to win a couple rounds and coast to victory. Primary defensive fighters. Use of crouching and leaning.

Now, is he a clone? Absolutely not. But one would be lying to himself or herself if they were to say Rigo didn't showcase some of Floyds skills.

Was he as good as floyd? Probably not. But loma showed he had the fundamentals to combat that style of combat.

Now flip the script again. Want to show us a case where Floyd beat a Loma like fighter?

Rigo is 37 and a hamed sized, throws 10 punches a round. DIDNT EVEN TRY against Loma. You think Rigo fights anything like Floyd at 130-135, you are just admitting you never watched Floyd fight there. Floyd had big power in both hands, was 5-8 with a 72" reach.

Has OP ever seen a Floyd fight? Prime Floyd was unbeatable. This gotta be troll tread right?

Jose Luis Castillo.

Jose Luis Castillo.

Castillo beat Floyd? Where? Castillo gave Floyd a hell of a fight. But he still lost to a one handed fighter...

Everything you just said is subjective and your opinion. Rigo did try against Loma. What kind of evidence that suggests that you are correct in saying that he didn't? He signed the contract, talk to trash for 4 years made his own hashtag, not afraid, and had everyone probably including yourself on his Van Wagon before Loma and knocked it off the trail.

I don't think saying Floyd is a monster is a valid argument because you didn't show how or that he would be able to counter techniques that loma would use against him.

I have seen enough Floyd fights to know how he fights. That being said like most fans I have not seen every single fight and don't know all of his nuances. That's why I asked people to show me but apparently they just regurgitate **** they here without providing any information or evidence stating otherwise

Thanks for admitting you are new to boxing because it shows.

Floyd had very high KO % at 130 and 135. He was bigger and stronger than his opponents so his fighting style was very different than when he was a WW and couldn't come forward.

Check out some of his old fights. Nonetheless I'd love to see that fight and, as it stands now, can't say Loma would win buy the verdict is definitely not out yet. Gotta see how Loma does against boxers with more than 1 approach (Mikey, etc.)

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Never have I ever seen Floyd deal with movement like Loma. Never have I ever seen Floyd deal with someone who takes the angles Loma does. Never have I ever seen someone push Floyd like a Loma would using the specific techniques I described and never have I seen him counter those abilities.

It doesn't mean he couldn't. But there's just no proof he could. It's funny how people can't understand this

[R-Hand Southpaw]

It's like, how would Loma deal with Floyd?

Me:

He's shown the ability to fight taller fighters than him who have longer reach. He's shown that he can counter Floyd if he was to use his lean/pivot technique. Being a lefty reduces the effect if floyds philly shell. Loma natural movement to the right with his pivot skip puts Floyd in no man's land. Etc.

What can Floyd do against Loma?

You guys: floyd at 130 was a monster

This is the argument right now. Like holy ****

Lmfao no chance

Mayweather is bigger, stronger, significantly longer reach, more punching power, better defensively, just as fast if not faster, and more skillful than Loma.

Loma would be at a disadvantage fighting a prime 130 floyd
