Duran has size and power over Loma. Duran probably won't stop Loma though. The likes that IMO would contest Duran at at LW is Pacquiao, Floyd, Chavez Sr. Pernell Whitaker.
I'll wait until Loma's career is over and he has been retired for a while before coming to a more permanent conclusion.
In the meantime, Duran is considered to be one of the best ever - possibly the best - at lightweight. I don't see why anyone would choose Loma over Duran.
Loma is undersized at 135. He already has to be defensively switched on at all times against guys like linares and campbell and just isnt able to easily tank punches from lightweights.
Durans best weight was at lightweight and he goes by hands of stones. I respect lomachenkos defensive skills, but there is no question that he would have to go through fire to overcome Duran.
