First of all, Green K. Loma had an exstensive Ammy career... And people also tend to overemphasize that the fights were for a strap, a belt, so to speak... I don't attach much to the second point... Adrian Broner also fought for many belts lol.
I also think that people didn't look at the Salidad fight as instructive. Fighters like Salidad, Glencoff Johnson, and other tough, excellent fighters who are sort of journeymen, but perpetually underestimated, teach us all kinds of things about "great" fighters.
Salidad though not technically with the chops of a Lopez, showed that pressure and strength can be a real problem for Loma.
