He is Honduran, not Mexican. A win over Lopez is a good, solid win, I wouldn't call it a great win.

Let history take its course
Loma is no different than any fighter who performs exceptionally at the present time. I would put Fury in that category because, both men show incredible skill, on film. It is empirical, it can be compared and contrasted to other great fighters.
But as far as how they measure through the lens of history... that is yet to be determined.

He never beat berchelt in superfeather because he knew he would get massacred. and he ducked commey in lightweight for the longest time. because that style doesnt suit bumachenko.
not to mention his fear of that fat mexican bum that slapped him around.
linares has been "champ" in 3 weights.
but has been massacred anytime he has stepped up to c and b level fighters.

Teofimo Lopez was born and raised in Brooklyn. He is an American!
He fought for Honduras in the Olympics because he got politically squeezed out of the USA line up for Carlos Balderas (a technically over which tournaments were participated in). The rivalry between him and Carlos Balderas may someday become interesting (but Balderas lost his last time out so maybe not.)
P.S. He also lived in Davie Florida for a while.

The Honduran mexican is a bullying braggart. But the red's star power will grow exponentially if he can whip the bean rassler, because of the size disparity. This is Davey & Goliath. The mexican will someday probably fight as high as the junior middleweight division. He's a big 'un. Loma just a teeny weeny man. I could almost hold him in my palm.
