Mayweather vs Lomachenko Prime for Prime?

[-Kev-]

So far in 13 fights Lomachenko > ahead of floyd by a mile. Not even close. Let's see lomachenko at 30 fights then compare them. People act like floyd ran through everyone and never struggled. Did you guys forget the castillo fights?

I'm not sure how you're measuring them.

Are you talking about their first 13 fights, or their careers up to 30 years old?

If you're talking about their first 13 fights, sure. Lomachenko has mostly everyone beat there, with his unconventional start, is better than SRR, SRL, Duran, Ali, Chavez, Whitaker, etc. But that's not how you measure greats.

If you're talking about Lomachenko's career at 30 years old vs Mayweather's career at 30 years old - Mayweather was a champion in 5 weight classes, Ring/Lineal champion in 3 weight classes, 6x champion, and 12 title defenses.

I'll give the slight edge to Mayweather. He had more pro experience at this time.

However, give it a year or two and we'll see where we're at then.

It's a damn close comparison imo and well, it could go either way. I can see either winning or losing but I'll give the edge to Floyd for now.

]How u gonna take away split decision option in a fight like this? [/B]

I gat Floyd tho....Better chin, reach, more tools. As much as i love NoMas...Floyd would find a way to win. So i have Floyd by SD

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't see a UD in this scenario.

Look how Castillo beat Floyd. Loma brings double that amount of pressure.

Loma by wide UD.

Last time I checked. Floyd has two wins over Castillo. The first fight was razor close but you can't say Castillo won unless that is what you WANTED to see. Besides, Loma is not as big or as physical as Castillo is and he's a southpaw while Castillo is an orthodox fighter. They are two different styles of fighters.

I give Floyd a slight advantage. Floyd's too smart and can adjust to anybody inside the ring. Floyd can negate Loma's speed and make the fight as boring as it can be.

[Rip Chudd]

As much as I'm living in the moment and era of Loma I still haven't forgotten Floyd at the lower weights. I think his hand speed was faster, he had power at the weight, more offensively minded but still great defensively. I'd take Floyd by UD

Prime Mayweather wrecks Lomachenko. This isn't even a contest folks...

[Nay_Sayer]

If he is no match for Floyd, why didn't Floyd only lose one amateur fight and win a gold metal in the Olympics? Or two? Why didn't Floyd win a world title in his 3rd fight and a 3rd weight world title in his 12th fight? It's because Floyd's career has been carefully articulated and matched accordingly to avoid risk. 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.

LMAO

Mayweather won titles in *5* weight classes.

Wake us when Lomafako goes up to 147 and wins a title there against the top guy...

And? Does that mean Manny's better because he won is 8 weight classes?

Loma may never go to WW and it would make sense because he/s a lot smaller than most all WW's.

But don't let that negate what he's already done in 12 fights. At this rate, he'd be a 9 weight world champ when he has his 36th fight. (just an example)
