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

[Bronx2245]

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

When you compare Floyd's "professional" wins in his 20s, to Loma's "amateur" wins in the Olympics, you failed! Floyd beat Castillo TWICE! Your opinion does not matter! It's in the books!

[Bronx2245]

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

I don't know about that. Burns, Beltran, Gamboa @ 135! EVERYBODY@ 140, taking all 4 belts in the division! I'm still going with Crawford, until Loma beats Mikey Garcia! What's sad, is that both Loma and Crawford are the same age! It's a shame they didn't meet up with each other @ 135 in the pros!

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.

Lomachenko is an exceptional, once in a generation type of talent! However, when I compare Mikey demolition of Salido in 2013, to Lomachenko's loss to Salido in 2014, it's night and day! Salido has always been a bully, but Mikey (and Gamboa) got the job done. Loma didn't.

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

Gatti was the title holder in that fight and 2005 was 13 years ago lol. Nice Try. Floyd always had a above average offense in his earlier days. Before that 2005 he had like 20 KO's (TKO, KO) . While Loma lost to a journey men.

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!

I cant believe that people are actually this naive, you cant compare by age Floyd, pac and Loma because they didn't start boxing @ the same age, there was a comparison that after how many fights has any boxer won a belt in a 3rd division, for your information, Loma has the record, only 12 fights, verify Floyd and how many fights or time took him to win a belt in a 3rd division, Floyd didn't start fighting great boxers after his what, 24th fight or something like that, Loma does belong up there with the great for doing things no other boxer has done in such a short time.

[Boxing Goat]

I think Loma clowns Tank, and the Garcia fight is 50-50.

But the comparisons to early Floyd are premature. And imagine Loma facing the Floyd that destroyed Corrales, or the Floyd that mugged Gatti. I'd definitely have to lean towards Floyd in that fight, but man I would have loved to see it.....

Great assessment. Exactly how I see the situation

[MurkaMan]

For most of his career Floyd was primarily s defensive pot shotter - stealing round. Very effective but nothing like the offensive skills of LoI'm and not as fun.

Bool****. He was beating the snot out of everyone for MOST of his career. From 33 to 37(Canelo fight) he was a masterful pureboxer who hit you everytime you made a mistake. Stood right in front of you and didnt get grazed.

After that Canelo fight, he was washed, and started running and hugging. Thats 4 fights homie.

[chimichanga2]

Mikey Garcia and Tank Davis both will finish loma off. no way Arum lets those fights happen

LMAO. Tank is trash. Hyped up by social media. Floyd wanted to feed him to Loma and he started crying on social media about how he don't wanna fight Loma haha. Tank just another fighter with a padded record and no-name opponents. Does **** ratings too.

Mikey on the other hand is a whole different level.

[Boxing Goat]

Neither one have great wins. Tank has none, while Mikey has.... well.... broner.

I said decent wins and Mikey has several that incl. Salido, Lopez, Martinez and Broner.

People are being seduced by pointless theories. Loma being dropped means nothing against Garcia. Just like Rigo being badly stunned by Merroquin had tons of people saying Donaire hits harder and would wipe out Rigo and we know how that turned out. On top of that, history is filled with guys who held up to solid punchers only to be knocked out by lighter punchers which blows away other theories. Holyfield was knocked out by Bowe and many said there was no way he would hold up to a bigger puncher in Tyson and we know how that went. Hell, we could say the same for Garcia who was dropped by Martinez and point to the fact that Loma is faster and could catch Garcia more often than Martinez by far or nail him with a perfect punch. Every fight produces a different set of dynamics and theories, especially triangle theories dont hold water.
