Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Getting Dropped Made My Promoter's Job Easier

[Boxing Goat]

Do you really think Loma is P4P #1 over Terence Crawford?

Loma's record so far obliterates Crawfords and it's not even a discussion

[Metho_4u]

Salido looked, and acted, like a bully! These fights happen, i.e. Garcia vs. Salido, or Mayweather vs. Maidana! Mikey beat Sallido, dropped him 4 times, Loma couldn't. Floyd beat Maidana, twice, Broner couldn't. There are levels to the game! I didn't say Loma wasn't great, but Salido made him look "human." Note: I didn't say "bum," or "weak," I said "human!"

No, salido looked like a cheater a weight cheat and low blow cheat, but, like I said, he didn't complain, tried to get the rematch, salido turned it down to make much less. If Garcia isn't career defining for him, I don't know what would be. He could beat some others that have come up from 135 to 140, but, yes, I think his power to weight ratio is obviously getting lower. Now, to be fair, linares was buzzed other times in the fight and, let's not forget that he said he has been training for a YEAR secretly to fight Lomachenko. If that's true and he still got beat up and stopped? I think that says a whole lot.

You never watched early Floyd. Now you're showing your age. Go watch Floyd vs Gatti

Let's be honest though, Gatti was a punching bag. Floyd vs. Corrales is a lot better example.

And lol @ showing your age by referencing 2005 Floyd when he turned pro in 1996

[Metho_4u]

Levels? Like winning 2 gold medals and only losing once in like 400 amateur fights and avenging that loss? What level was Floyd on in his 20's when he really lost to Castillo? We can do this dance all day and lol @ talking about levels to boxing with the P4P#2 fighter in the world in his 12th fight being in the discussion. Floyd wasn't P4P until way later in his career. Stop deluding yourself because you're a Floyd hugger lol

Twice actually

By age 30 Floyd had already won a 4th division title. By age 30 Manny Pac had won his 7th divisional title.

Loma made a lame excuse for not fighting Manny at 39 when he's in his prime. Dude fought an old, small Rigo at 130 but wouldn't fight Manny for way more money at 140 when Manny's 39. Prime Manny and Floyd would have destroyed Loma going by his last fight.

The Manny who fought David Diaz.. would have slaughtered Loma who fought Linares.

Loma is a great fighter but he's not on that ATG Elite level with Floyd, Manny, etc. guys who moved up multiple divisions and dominated. I don't see it. He's the best Lb for LB now because he's moving up and fighting the elite in those divisions but when the media starts hyping as all time great - it's just for ratings.

Slow clap...bravo

I see a lot of these 'loma fans' saying the only people who hate on him are mayweather fans

but a lot of these people (not all) are loma fans just because they hate floyd I mean they have **** hopped certain fighters who has gone on a streak and made noise since pac lost to mayweather now you get all these threads where they totally discredit what mayweather achieved from the age of 21 its ridiculous

mayweather was the best of his era bottom line and loma is the possibly going to be future great of his era just let it go man let go of the hate

[Butch.McRae]

Loma is overhyped like any top Rank product
Oscar-Floyd-Manny-Bud-Loma
That said, Loma has two olympic Gold medals whereas Floyd only had bronze
Fighters avoid Loma whereas Floyd avoided fighters

How long have you been watching boxing? Young Floyd Mayweather was avoided like the plague. And was a terror 140 and below.

It wasn't until he became the biggest PPV star of all time that he got to pick fights. Btw, at that time, he was 30 and a 5 division champion.

I couldn't agree more.

That meme comparing the two was the worst thing I've seen in a while.

I don't think it should be about Floyd vs Lomachenko, as Lomachenko also has 2 gold medals, while anyone with eyes knows Floyd was ripped off from his. We also know that no ref would let a fighter vs Floyd get away with the same tactics that salido used either. Lomachenko didn't cry about it, he just took the loss, learned from it, and you can now see hes much better equipped to handle a similar situation in the future. Floyd and Lomachenko are both great, because they can think in the ring, they don't freeze under pressure, and employ different tactics to win against different opponents and their styles, and THAT is what makes a fighter great.

I only brought up Floyd because you said Floyd got dropped by Judah. Loma handled the loss well, and Arum should've paid Salido! Beltran will definitely try to fight Loma like Salido did! We'll see how much Loma has learned in that fight!

[man down]

Linares is a good puncher, especially on PED's.....but let's be honest, had Mikey landed that straight right, Loma may not have gotten up. That's a great fight. I hope we get to see it.

Mikey wouldnt have been that fast.
