Vanes was getting beat up in sparring by Loma?

[OCPancho]

Its not that far fetched as it sounds. Boxers spar with bigger/smaller guys all the time. It helps the smaller boxer with confidence in getting in the ring vs a bigger stronger guy and it helps the bigger guy dealing with a smaller fighter with alot of speed and quickness

yeah, but a lightweight sparring with a middleweight is something else.
I know Hank did .
But, not too common these days.

I have no doubts about it, Mayweather use to beat up bigger guys, Prince Naz use to beat up bigger guys. Nigel Benn use to beat up bigger guys in sparring...

[UNBIASED BOXING]

It's impressive, but at the end of the day, it's sparring.

We also don't know how many rounds, nor where Vanes was in terms of fitness.


Of course, I'm really high on Lomachenko being an amazing fighter/most likely an eventual all time great, but there's a reason Lomachenko doesn't go up to 154 to fight someone like Vanes, and probably will not ever.

Loma is the GOAT.

Salido is TBE.
