Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Drops, Decisions a Game Campbell: Adds WBC Belt

Mayweather's reach is a little freakish for his height/size but don't pretend he solely fights from the outside or picks his fights based on opponents reach. That's just plain dumb.
He's fought and beaten fighters far bigger, taller and with the same reach as him.

Do us a favor and sign the 'ef out of here...

Pac, Maidana, Cotto, Mosley, JMMarquez, Hutton, Baldomir, Judah, Mitchell, Gatti, Corley, Castillo - all are shorter with shorter reach
Berto has half inch in height 3,5 inch shorter in reach, Canelo same height 1,5 inch shorter in reach, Guerrero 1 inch taller 1 inch shorter in reach, Ortiz 1 inch taller 2 inch shorter in reach
Mitchell 1 inch shorter same reach
Oscar is may be the only one who was 2,5' taller and had 1 inch advantage in reach
So who are those mythical far bigger guys that you mentioned that boxrec doesnt know?

... which is right...

Mayweather made his career by fighting guys with shorter reach, Loma as of now fighting bigger taller guys with longer reach, at his more natural weight divisions his opponents were quitting saying no mas

Pretty sure Diego Corrales, Oscar Delahoya, and Phillip Ndou had longer reach and height than Floyd, and that didn't make no difference.

So you admit you had never watched a Loma fight, but you know he struggled with Pedraza.

Do me a favor and don't even quote this message.

Lol, bro I read fight analysis, watched the highlights, and read the comments on here. That's more than enough to know the general outcome of the fight.

Especially since Loma fans were out here making excuses about Pedraza being weight drained when he fought Tank and Pedraza being an elite fighter (even though he was called a bum but the same fanbase after Tank mauled him).

Look, I ain't denying that Lomachenko is a very good fighter, but the comparisons to Floyd, Pernell, and Roy?

Lol, those guys would make Loma look like a fool and then knock him out.

Well, not Roy, he too big of course, but Floyd and Pernell fought at super featherweight.

Corrales has shorter reach - 70 to 72 compare to Mayweather, boxrec doesnt show Ndou's reach, Oscar is probably the only one who had height and reach advantage

Tank dominated, stomped, and stopped Pedraza, Loma struggled against Pedraza after Tank did that to him.

Weights ?

There is a reason Tank took Pedraza at 130 when Pedraza could no longer make the weight. Loma took on Pedraza at 135.

If Tank vs Pedraza had been at 135, and Loma vs Pedraza at 130, would have been diffetent fights.

And how is it Boxer A is said to have struggled when Boxer B is beaten to the brink of a stoppage in round 11, then runs in round 12 to try and survive to the end ? I guess if the opponent makes it 12, then thats the definition of Loma struggling.

Did Loma struggle with Campbell? Even if slightly, Pedraza was even easier for him, despite having blue face after the fight. And that's when
Loma couldn't throw right hooks due to aftersurgery time.
Loma somehow grew flesh on the face now because he bled previously from way easier shots than Campbell's.

Honestly, just rewatch all his career - it's worth everybody's time. There were few not-worthy fighters after GRJ (koasicha and one more) but every Loma's fight has its beauty.

Loma is at one weight above his size and reach/shoulder width.

Loma was more like LazerQuest than the Matrix last night...

There is an important point there...if one hasn't taken the time to watch a lot of Loma's fights (and Ali's, RJJ, Tyson....long list) then how can claim to be a fan of boxing or understand whats good and what isn't ? I've been watching boxing for decades and you only get a handful of talent at Loma's level every decade - they are worth watching and enjoying while they last

Either you base your knowledge on Boxrec or you just don't know **** about the sport.
He knocked out Juuko back in '99 and I remember Juuko to have a pretty unique reach at super feather. Also, guys like Mitchell and Guerrero wasn't many inches behind.

I don't know why I even have this debate. Your post is just utter nonsense.

Sign out.

Edit: yep, Juuko is listed as having the same reach. I bet Roger had a measuring tape ready before the contract was signed...
