        Good post. Green K.

        But... although I think he's amazing, he hasn't lived up to the hype. Loma shouldn't wind down to average at the end of his boxing career, maybe beaten by a couple more bums.

        Loma should have fought long ago: Mikey and a couple of the 140 or 147 fighters, to test his skills to the utmost by now, like Floyd calling out Mosley and Delahoya when he was at 130-135. That's a fighter with balls.

        Another wasted Eastern Euro talent. Clock is ticking.

          I think Prograis is a C+ boxer but even he would have polished Loma's resume somewhat had Loma fought him. That's how bad I think Loma's resume is.

            Don't look too far ahead. He needs to end the career of the next bum he's fighting first.

              I'm not sure I would classify him as an ATG. I believe he is a great boxer and he has fought a huge number of amateur fights but he hasn't fought enough professional fights for me to start giving him consideration for ATG status

                How many fighters in history has been considered P4P #1 for years in a row?

                If the answer is very few, then in my mind, that is an ATG.

                It is like tennis. If you ever reach #1 world ranking, you are considered an ATG in my book.

                  Really?

                  Exactly WHO has he beaten?

                    Lewis has names on his resume.
