So if you actually look at the best fighters of this era at Loma's natural weight/size, or just below, Loma f****ng fought all of them, won basically every single round, and made 2/3 of them quit on their stools. And then he moved up and kept doing his thing. So it's like what more do you want? I wasnt saying Walters is an ATG historical A-level talent, I was just saying he was an A-level guy in this era, undefeated, huge puncher, first to knockout a former P4P top 10 Donaire, only second to beat him, ripped body, very long reach, good handspeed great power, etc etc. He wasnt one of these career B-sides who lucks into a paper title by beating a past prime Paulie Malignaggi or something. He was talented enough to be an A-side on HBO, hyped up, he got a devastating KO in his big step up fight vs Donaire and looked like the boogeyman of 126, basically. Biggest, longest, most powerful guy at the weight, with good athleticism as well. But was he prime Mike Tyson? No. But he wasnt one of these low-risk paper titlists with no power and no threat and no advantages.
