      Teofimo over Lomachenko was hands down the better win. It's not even up for debate. The kid had only had 15 professional prizefights; While Loma was a decorated amateur with 396 wins and with just only 1 defeat which he had avenged.

      Also, he won two consecutive back to back Olympic Gold medals in 2008 and 2012. Canelo doesn't come anywhere near close to what Loma had achieved by the time he fought Money Mayweather back in 2013.

        If floyd didn't weighted drained canelo that could have make it a little closer but still teo win over loma is clearly better.

          Are you guys serious? Floyd's win over Canelo is WAY better than Teo's win over Loma and I like Teo.

          Floyd was fighting in his fifth weight class. Canelo would move on to fight up to 175.
          Canelo outweighed him by at least 15 pounds on fight night.
          Canelo was coming off a great win from Trout. Loma ain't do jack **** at 135.
          Teo was easily the larger man when he fought Loma.
          Floyd was 36 and way past his prime. Teo is definitely in his prime.
          Floyd SCHOOLED Canelo. You can give 2 rounds to Canelo if you hate Floyd. Loma was at least competitive in the second half, even if he came woefully short.

          By the way, Canelo and his team asked for that catchweight. Said Canelo would be faster at 152.

            Lopez win > Mayweather's

            152 was never Canelo's best weight, lol.

              Usually the young guy dethrones the older guy, not only did it not happen with Floyd-Canelo but Canelo was utterly dominated

                None of Mayweather's wins are good enough for NSB posters.

                Yet in NSB his career is constantly talked about.

                Nobody is talking about Hatton's wins and career. Juan Diaz. Naseem Hamed. Barrera, Morales, or Marquez. Trinidad. etc. etc. but still talking about Floyd's career. His career really stuck for a boxer that isn't rated by many NSB posters.

                  Mayweather's win was more impressive. It was a complete shutdown using skills, and mayweather was the older AND smaller guy. Canelo and golden boy at that time tried to catch mayweather when he was getting older, and it backfired. Teofimo's win over loma wasn't anything special. Teofimo was the bigger and younger guy, and it wasn't a complete shutdown because loma won some of the later rounds when he turned it up and gained the confidence he lacked in the earlier rounds. Loma lost to salido years ago when he showed that he doesn't like getting roughed up and pushed back, and when he moved up to 135 ibs, he has shown even more vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Right now, loma is food for other guys like haney and tank as well.

                    On top of that Avarez was, despite his record, relatively green as he had NO amateur background and was learning as he went along. His first 30 or more fights were in Mexico against ham and eggers. Of his first 40 fights 35 were local, in Mexico. the other 5 were close to Mexico in southern California.

                    Lomachenko on the other hand, was a polished, massively talented well proven highly skilled fighter, although physically challenged by very short arms. His skill made up for it. . Even with his shoulder injury, Lopez, with so few fights, had a far better win.
