I didn't say he is a light heavyweight I said he admits he walks around weighing the same as one.
Loma's a smaller guy than Mikey.Comment

You are correct, the list is small because most fighters don't wait to turn pro until their 25! If Roy Jones Jr., Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, or Floyd Mayweather had waited to turn pro until they were 25, they would've won titles in their 2nd pro fight! Question is, could Loma have won a title @ 21?
As to Lom, he could have turned pro after winning his first gold medal and then and racked up a bunch of fights against increasing opposition and gaining pro learning experience like most fighters do and fought for a title at a younger age. But the fact is, with countless fighters, only a small number have won a title within 10 fights, let alone multiple titles, and any age of the spectrum.
Any way you look at it, Lom is special. So is Floyd, Oscar, Whitaker, and others, but even HOF fighters who turned pro in their mid 20's would not have even thought about fighting for a title in their 2nd or 3rd pro fight. Lom dared to be great.Last edited by richardt; 09-20-2018, 12:43 PM.Comment

No one can say if Whitaker, Oscar, or Floyd could have won a title with just a couple fights, even if they had waited longer to turn pro because the fact is, they took the normal maturation process in the Pro's. Anything else is hypothetical/supposition. But again, they are also HOF fighters.

No, he dared to be great because out of the hundreds of thousands of fighters who turned pro as early as 14 in Mexico and as late as 30 years old and later globally, he was one of a handful of fighters who won a title and in fact multiple titles by his 10th fight. THAT is the bottom line. If anyone wants to debate that, I expect a sizable list of fighters who have accomplished the same. I wont hold my breath.Comment

That's a brain dead question because how many fighters have won 2 gold medals? Like I said, provide the list of fighters over the last 50 years or more who won multiple titles by their 10th fight at ANY age. This is not remotely debatable.Comment

Exactly! My beef w/ the Euros is that everybody talks as if they're the greatest we've ever seen! When they talk about Loma, "We've never seen anything like this!" Really? We didn't see Roy, Sweet Pea, and Floyd? Lampley says, "GGG is the modern day Muhammad Ali!" Seriously? C'mon Son!Comment
