He only took fights that had foregone conclusions. Loma is daring to be great.......in a hurry. You should respect his brilliance. Had Floyd have taken his career at this pace, he probably would have 3-4 losses on his record.
    I do respect his brilliance, doesn't mean I have to agree he'd beat Floyd, though. I just don't envision even his skills being enough to outpoint Floyd or knock him out, especially if we're talking prime Mayweather.

      Loma may never go to WW and it would make sense because he/s a lot smaller than most all WW's.
      Pacquiao has names on his resume. So does Floyd.

      Exactly WHO has Lomachenko beaten?

        Floyd at the lower weights has a good shot at KOing Loma. I hate Floyd, but it's true. He could crack back then, and Loma has 0 speed advantage over him.

            i dont know if there were many guys in history who couldve beaten floyd at 130. u wouldve had to put constant pressure on him and thrown tons of punches and hoped u didnt get carved up in the process.

              Castillo pretty much beat him but Loma can't? I can't picture it.

                  Castillo was 1. A pressure fighter and 2. Much much heavier than Floyd.

                  Lomachenko is none of those things. He would definitely be smaller, and he'd probably have to out box a guy who's never been outboxed before when the only advantage he MIGHT have is his excellent foot work and even that is only barely.

                    Pre-brittle hands, Floyd by KO
                    Post-brittle hands, Floyd by comfortable decision

                      You could post your own poll. No one would mind..
