    Loma/Lopez proved that Mayweather had an ATG win over Canelo

    For years all of the haters discredited Mayweather's win vs the great Canelo by mentioning the age discrepancy. Lopez's win over Loma proved that young fighters are a huge threat to the old dog. Mayweather was an ancient 36 years old when he beat the 23 year old Canelo. Lopez is the same age as Canelo, 23. Lomachenko was 32 years old, a 4 year advantage over Floyd.

    Since the Mayweather/Canelo fight, Canelo has not lost a single match against solid competition. Maybe the pundits should give credit to Mayweather for not ducking the young hungry fighter who was a huge threat to his crown and was much bigger than Floyd. That was a risky fight to take and Floyd still schooled the young buck. Give credit where credit is due.

    Loma didn’t drain Lopez though. Big difference.

      Canelo still was much bigger than Mayweather. Add in 20 lbs between the weigh in and fight night and Canelo was 170 lbs during the fight. Some speculate he was as big as 180 lbs during the Mayweather fight. The size discrepancy was massive. Mayweather should be commended for taking that kind of risk.

        2 lbs isn’t draining! And it was Canelo’s side that proposed it. So silly. Yes, at 36 years old that was an all time great win. A fighter who started smaller then the weight we saw last night beat the best guy a Junior middleweight who is now a middle weight, super middleweight, and light heavy belt holder. A guy who was undefeated in over 40 fights.

        It’s an all time win. Maybe one of the few best wins ever.

            Wrong!!!!!

            Unlike Lopez Canelo did not have an extensive amateur background and Lopez was not weight drained.

            Floyd had to have every advantage now it’s hurting him when it comes to discussing his legacy.

              lets be real no 2lb and weight cut would have made a single difference to the gulf in skill, ring IQ, speed between Floyd and Canelo that night

              Floyds ego just did that catchweight to f*** with Oscar and Canelo show them who was boss

                  lopez had 34 am fights..that is not extensive..lol

                  Canelo was a unified champ with titles defenses under his belt and over 40 pro fights...he had almost more fights then Lopez's am and pro combines..weird angles of excuses..he was far more experienced then Lopez

                    Hahahahaha
                    Yea sure all about ego.

                    Floyd was scared ****less so everting has to be stacked in his favor against a green Canelo.

                    A prime canelo rips little Floyd’s head off and Floyd knows it too.

                    Lopez went out there without Looking to cheat and just completely out fought and out boxed Loma.
