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

That's uncalled for. You should look into Dan's history on piling on compliments to Floyd before making such ignorant statements.

Nope I’d much rather go with my logic ...... 3 buffets x the number of years he has been in the game add the number of fighters and divide it with his weight in kgs. The size of his gut looks about right

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.

Your whole post is just hating trash and proves why everyone here just about thinks (knows) that you're an idiot.

Sure he did, but Floyd didn't fight a guy of that caliber until his 20th pro fight or so. And let's not forget that Salido was over weight, cheated the whole fight and still got out landed and almost stopped.

When Floyd faced Genaro Hernandez @ SFW, he was only 21 years old. Hernandez was the Ring #1 SFW. Floyd TKO'd him in 8! When Floyd beat Corrales, he was Ring #1 SFW, and Floyd was #2. Floyd was 24, he stopped Corrales in 10. Loma is 30. When Floyd was 30, which was in 2007, Floyd beat Oscar @ 154 in May, and then KO'd Ricky Hatton @ 147 in December! There are levels to this game! Loma is great, but he's not on the same level as Floyd Mayweather!

Just seen Tank basically saying send the contract on his Twitter after the Linares fight!

Hope that gets made, I think Tank should move up cuz I don't see him fighting anyone at 130 besides Farmer vs Dib winner and maybe Machado!

Berchelt and the others are with Golden Boy and Top Rank!

Make it happen, Mikey vs Loma not gonna happen till likely next year!

Yeah, Tank can talk now, will he want it in the ring though? Better yet, would he even sign?

[Bronx2245]

No, salido made himself look like a guy who knew if he didn't cheat, he'd be leaving on a stretcher... he also made himself look like a total b1tch turning down 720k for a rematch. How many times was SRL dropped? Almost all guys have been... and technically, Judah DID drop Floyd, but the ref didn't call it, and I'm one of his biggest fans, but even I know that.

More importantly, was Lomachenko hurt at all? No. It was a flush, really good shot, and he wasn't hurt, buzzed, never lost composure, just kept pressing, and any judge having Linares up by 2 imo was not watching the right fight.

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!"

Based on what I saw, I’ve never seen such an over hyped and over rated fighter in just a few fights like Lomachenko with respect to putting the “greatness and top P4P tag on him. People are in such a hurry to heap greatness on him, I don’t get it. I need to see a lot more from him. I will give him credit for beating an undefeated Rigondeaux, Russell Jr., & Walters. And credit for finishing a bigger Linares this weekend. But he also lost to Salido. And I’m sorry, all those fighters mentioned, I don’t consider them GREAT fighters in this era or Hall of Fame fighers, their OK, but not great. And those fighters were and are over rated too. I predicted Lomachenko would stop Linares because the guy got dropped and cut and stopped on cuts and TKO’ed quite a few times. He should have finished him earlier. But if Lomachenko beats Tank or Garcia convincingly, I will give him more credit but I don’t even consider those (2) fighters great YET either. He needs a career defining fight and Garcia isn’t it. It’s more like if he can go up in weight and defeat a Crawford for me to stamp greatness on him. Top Rank President Todd duBoef said Lomachenko weighed 138 on fight night while Linares weighed 152 after both were at 134.6 at the initial weigh in. So I believe Lomachenko can go up to junior welterweight & welterweight eventually.

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

[Commie]

Lomas chances to become champion @140 Are slim
He needs an old shot titlist or a weight drained welterweight

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.

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
