Damn this place is funny

It's not that impressive really. Pacquaio was a 8 weight world champ. Let me know when Loma does that.

Your standards are really low, unless the guy unifies every belt in every division between strawweight and heavyweight in less than a year he's straight garbage

Loma haters in a nutshell. Becoming a 3-weight world champ in your first 12 fights isn't that impressive? Pac's a legend, but his first 12 opponents were complete bums. kardsufur has it right. You have to be the perfect boxer to get respect around here. Lil haters will just have ridiculous standards for certain fighters.

I for one put ****** mfers like that on ignore instead of b^tching about their sh^tty opinion. You will always encounter in life people with bad or sh^tty opinions. Easiest just to not listen to them then to try to rationalize it or understand it.

And on a forum like this one could just be a bad troll or w/e too.

this always happens postfight though

its the norm for nsb to react like this after a fight. it dies down after a couple days

problem is fighters get more credit for beating poor opposition decisively, than world level opposition in a close fight.

If SRR fought during today's era, he would be called an "exposed" bum and "glass chin" on this forum. You basically have to be a super human genetically enhanced cyborg with 100-0 (100ko's) record to be considered "A level" on this forum. Anyone who doesn't KO all their opponents in the first round is "exposed"

It seems to be a place of complete extremes and total opposites. On one hand you’ll have guys claiming that a fighter with just a few years as a pro, and only a dozen fights is already a HOF legend and on his way to becoming one of the greatest of all time after beating literally just a few fighters at the top level, and you’ll have others claiming he’s a bum that’ll get knocked out and “exposed” every fight. It’s all or nothing with most people here.

People just need to chill on both sides.

I do find the constant ‘greatest ever’ and ATG kind of talk more annoying though in general. It seems to get thrown around here a lot after every win.

Isn't that what Loma fans were claiming he was? When you have everyone saying a fighter is a boxing god and is going to win easily, when he doesn't and struggles people are going to call out the people that said he was a boxing god.

Bro did he get the job done?
Did he make Linares quit?
What more does he have to do.

[BLASTER1]

Loma is like 11-1 with a loss to a mediocre fighter. His most impressive win is against a shot, albeit slightly larger, Jorge Linares.

Let's wait a bit before we even talk about the HOF for him.

WHY?
He has the best resume in boxing in his first 12 fights.
You one of them fanboys if your fighter looses he is a bum.

Yeah, settle down mate. Pac was 17 with very little amateur experience. Loma was a fully grown man in his mid to late twenties with extensive amateur and pro experience, though people like to overlook that.

He’s essentially just skipped the part that most young, inexperienced pros need to go through because he was much older and already highly experienced in high level am fights and a good series of pro fights that just didn’t go on his record.

He’s at the same level now that any 30 year old experienced championship level fighter should be at.

Brilliant post.
