    Probably because Loma has wicked footwork and looks pretty untouchable most of the time. Pac, at his apex, was an offensive dynamo who fired wicked power shots from all angles but wasn't really all that slick or evasive. My two cents.

      Loma and Floyd share high ring IQ and technical mastery of the sport. Both are rare talents.

      But their styles are dissimilar, no doubt.

          Loma to me is a mixture of Calzaghe and Whitaker.

            His style is like neither. Pac has heavy hands but basic punches with little variety while Loma uses volume (not power) and great punch variety.
            None of the 3 have similar movement.

              They have skill sets that allow them to fight at a level above most of their opponents.

                  Maybe in that he's a special talent like Floyd. But stylistically he's nothing like him.

                    Loma is only similar to Pac that they have great foot work and throws the double jab straight left with consistency, other than that, nothing else, same to Floyd with having great defense, but other than the defense, nothing else.
