Loma is a very solid world champ level boxer
The problem was people saying he’s an all time great, he isn’t. I never understood where it come from. I also never understood this supposed amazing skill set he has. Take away the angles with a decent pivot like Lopez did and Loma is fairly basic with no plan B. He has a very effective plan A most of the time but what happens when it’s not working? Evidently, not much
I’m actually a fan of watching Loma fight, but never saw him as one of the greats. Nowhere near.
You can say It’s impressive what he did so quickly in the pro’s, but he had a lot of those WSB fights, which are basically like pro fights that don’t go on the record, and far more beneficial and tougher than padding a pro record full of stiffs to get 15-0 in the pro’s before stepping up. That’s why guys who fought in the WSB are ready to fight at a decent level in the pro’s early on.
