    Loma is a cool dude with a very interesting and unique career and always entertaining to watch. He certainly deserves the attention and the hype but its still early for hof and goat discussions let the guy have a few more fights

      What's bad is the goddamn svt price tag - it's high like that because of Loma and Usyk hype.

Probably think that's Marquez prime since your one of those Floyd fans who think every opponent he ever fought was a great fighter and specifically entered their prime the night they fought him. Typical Floyd fan. More into their man than the sport and the probably jumped onto the bandwagon way after he won a title or probably even a few.

        I don't care if you've never seen an athlete live I just think it's odd that your entire existence on this board is defending the honor of someone you've never met or seen fight live. Maybe I'm different but all my favorites - Marquez brothers, Trinidad, Crawford, Lomachenko, Estrada etc; I've felt inclined to go see multiple times and with the exception of Estrada actually traveled to do so and got on a plane. Even I wouldn't dedicate all my time specifically to defending their honor like that.

        Floyd didn't turn down an offer per say he said he'll stick to 130. I don't care enough about it to even google it but I'm sure it's there online somewhere. He did try and cherrypick him in 2003 off the heels of a three fight non-winning streak and gift decision (like Floyd's gift) against a fading Oscar.
        Moved up two weight divisions? Marquez moved up a division and a half and Floyd showed up two pounds over the catch weight but still under the welterweight limit of 147. Just more excuse from you. Marquez would go to KO Manny Pacquiao 3 years after losing to Floyd and that was at the full welterweight limit. Maybe Marquez did it with the help PED's like his haters insinuate, we'll never know.

        And I have never had any desire to see any athlete in person or even meet any celebrity in my life. Watching their movies at home or buying a pay per view is good enough for me.

        You can say I defend Floyd too much but you're on nearly every thread hating on him. Everything I have said is fact based while much of what you said is opinion based.

        Floyd fought guys younger than himself, older than himself, bigger than himself, and smaller than himself and won everytime. Something your favorite fighters can't say.

          Lol, the whole "my favorite fighter is better than yours"..LOL that's 10 year old's talk..

          Marquez had barely left 126 in 2007 and then he's fighting a guy who'd been at 154 recently and then weighed at 146. You know he moved up too fast but chose to deny it and still think that's the best of him. Don't even care to engage any further on something so pointless. Just like Floyd ducking little Pac for years until after he was KTFO.

          Easy to pick up on a guy when he's already on top jumping on the bandwagon. I was a Floyd fan when he turned pro. He turned me off around 2004/2005 and then his fans (a.k.a Floyd first Boxing second fans) just made it even worse.

            Gatti was definitely better than Hagler and Monzon since he's a two division champ. Got it.
            LOL
            Multi-titles are getting so freaking cheap b/c you have so many junior and alphabet bodies now.
            Just imagine how belts Armstrong would win today.
            Or Bob Fitzimmons.

              Yeah dude's just a typical Fraud fanboy. Hype every Floyd win to far more than it's worth. Gatti better than Monzon, Hagler, Charles is LOL to me. Broner better than Arguello and Jofre is comedy too.

              I'm a Marquez fan but I know Marquez being a 4 division champ doesn't make him better than any of those fighters (apart from the legendary Broner and Gatti obviously).

                Please tell me exactly what spectacular accomplishment Lomafako has achieved since the LOSS to Salido.

                    You must be on Crack.

                    NOBODY with 1/2 of a working brain cell rates Ole' Fishnets ahead of the Motor City Cobra in any way, shape or form.

                      Hagler has the W over Thomas Hearns.

                      Exactly WHO has Lomafako beaten?
