    It is possible to be overrated while still being one of the bet fighters around. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
    Well said.

      So does that mean that Fury and Spence are overrated as well?

          He was overrated.

          A very good fighter but people were making him out to be better than Mayweather which he wasn't.

            The only Loma fight impressed me was the Rigondeaux fight. Other than that, none.

              Nobody calls Spence 'the best fighter since Floyd Mayweather' though, and constantly ranks him higher than ATG fighters like Floyd, Pac, and Duran with(at the time) a 14-1 professional record. Loma is the definition of an overrated fighter.

                    If you’re talking p4p, no. He was imo one of the top 3 guys in the world without question.

                    If you’re talking all time, yes. But to be fair, most of the people that over rated his ATG status We’re not real fans. They did so for non boxing reasons.

                      People have been putting him up against other atgs and acting like he could beat Pacquiao and Mayweather at 135. It was ridiculous.
