But Loma vs. Calzaghe is Being Argued in This Thread... Once Salido OVER PRICED Himself for a RE w/Loma, Gary Russell was the Best Featherweight Loma Could've Faced @ the Time...Say What You Want About Nicholas Walters, He Was Possibly the BEST Super Feather Loma Could've Faced @ the Time... Even as he Moved Up to Lightweight (Giving Away Size Every Bout), Loma Called Out Tank Davis Incessantly...In Significantly FEWER Fights, Loma Fought & Won @ More Weights... Calzaghe - GGG is Close...Calzaghe - Loma Not Sooooo Much, in REED's Opinion... REED
Calzaghe didn't beat Lacy with afflefizism and skillz......he stuck a southpaw jab in his face, roughed him up, stood in front of him, maintained a great pace, threw loads of leather, moved, stuck, boxed, brawled, the works. Calzone is cursed. I've never seen a fighter tumble so badly in estimation after Calzaghe beat him as Lacy did. For a full decade, things worked the opposite way at 147 where guys were deemed brilliant because they had beaten some guy who had beaten some guy who had beaten some guy.
Perhaps. But that's not the subject matter under discussion. I've more respect for Roy Jones resume at 175 even though Joe beat him there. After his performance vs Lopez, Loma can go back to beating heavy bags on youtube.
