    Self explanatory. From 126-135, who's the best guy in history you would favor Loma over?

    Probably corrales

    At 130, I would pick Loma over Brian Mitchell.

    Mitchell was superb and a HOFmer.

    So I guess that's my answer.

    Willie pep

    Mitchell would outbox Corrales, and I'm Fightbeat's biggest Chico fan.

    Pep would embarrass Loma.

    He might (id pick chico though) but h2h is not the only criteria to judge a fighter

    Lomachenko would also whip hamed

    I somehow doubt it. I really do.

    Mid 70s Lopez is extremely underrated. He had pretty destructive reign. Hes GOING to land... Loma is not a defensive wiz.

    And when Lopez lands, I dont trust Loma's chin to handle the bombs Sanchez took.

    I think Lil Red lays Loma the fuck out.

    Flash Elorde?

    Hard to say.

    But if he could beat Elorde, I assure you he is the ONLY Filipino southpaw Loma is beating at 130.

    I think he could beat Ben Villaflor... :D

    Although I also think he could absolutely lose to him.

    The fuck he would!

    Forgot Villaflor lol.

    Villaflor could level Loma if he caught him right, but Loma is definitely a better technician.

    He’s live against pretty much any pure boxing stylist from 126-130.

    I think it'd be very similar to either Shibata fight. Despite the fact that they're about as different as you can get.
     
  22. George Crowcroft

    George Crowcroft "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    I think he'd beat guys like Winstone and Famechon.

    That's the level I'd put him on.
     
  23. Sweet Pea

    That’s a damn good level to be at.

    Loma vs McGuigan?
     
  25. George Crowcroft

    George Crowcroft "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    Absolutely. I didn't mean it as a putdown for sure.

    Interesting. I think Loma is the better fighter, but Barry must be the most difficult fighter possibly for him, stylistically.

    Gut instinct is Barry. And I don't have that Brit bias, since I've always disliked him for beating the shit outta Pedroza, who's always been one of my favourite featherweights.

    I'll tell ya one thing.

    Faded Pedroza>>>>>>>>>>>> Prime Gary Russell.

    Neil tueur de grenouilles


    Agreed. Not sure why he all of a sudden is a bum

    I can't see Loma ever winning a fight

    I was actually looking for a serious response, but thanks for your usual pointless sarcasm.
