Mayweather reacts to lomachenko's ko of linares;

[mcdonalds]

And also had how many pro fights?

Doesn't matter. TBE turned pro when he was 18, loma turned pro when he was like 26 and had over 400 amateur fights

USA #1

nobody here ever said that, not even the most ******ed floyd rider here. most including me predict floyd will win easy UD over pac, and that's what happen

but floyd fought pac when he was well past his best and recently ko'd so thats not the same fight at all. if you thought prime floyd would beta prime pac ok cool but thats not the fight that happened so you can't conflate the two. thats kind of the whole criticism regarding the fight but i guess you missed that?

also if you watch the tape pac landed the much cleaner harder shot and should have won. floyd was coming up short and barely grazing pac with his punches. if that was anyone else he would have lost with that pathetic performance but he's the money man so you know what they do. protect the money. they leaned hard on his reputation for that one. he simply was doing fu-ck all for most of the rounds while pac was landing the clean shots. they used pacs aggressive nonstop whirlwind reputation against him there. oh pac picked his shots and landed the cleaner harder punches well i guess thats a floyd round?

One of.. NOT the best.

For me, the Linares fight was so disappointing for someone of Loma's caliber. I think his stock and mystique might have gone down in the eyes of many fans in that last fight.

lol floyd moved up and lost to slow ass castillo. what happened to his mystique? it only grew cause he kept beating sub par competition afterwards. trust me if loma never fights another threat and goes the next ten years fighting past it greats and b level fightres the loma fans will be unbearable but you know thats not going to happen. some fighters have dignity

Do you think Loma could go through this resume undefeated?

1. Diego Corrales
2. Oscar Delahoya
3. Pacman
4. Mosley
5. Maidana
6. Zab Judah
7. Castillo
8. Ricky Hatton

I don't know, man. Floyd's resume is solid.

[man down]

It's funny as fans we want the sport to grow.
Go to YouTube and type in Loma. Read the comments or how many new fans that are watching boxing just because of him.
Yes these are new fans of the sport but we all had that one fighter that started it all for us.

I do not... but then Floyd arguably didn't either.

Floyd is considerably bigger than Lomachenko. I can't see Loma ever doing a fight at 152 pounds. Lomachenko showed his size limitations in the Linares fight imo.

[bballchump11]

actually, that gives floyd every reason to promote loma!

so if and when tank finally fight loma, is loma consider a bum then or is he now one of the best out there?

That's not necessary when his opponent is already good enough and getting hype. Dibella isn't hyping Joshua. Duva isn't hyping Stevenson. Arum didn't hype up Mayweather. Loeffler didn't hype of Canelo.

I agree with the bold part.

I think Loma's optimum weight is 130/135 max. He might wanna stick around in between those weights for the reminder of his career. A good place to build his legacy.

You know Castillo is much better then any version of Salido?

Point being, there's no need to minimize one guy to appreciate the other.
