Wrong weight class, but I don't think Lomachenko's fought a guy in the pros that's as efficient a counterpuncher as Floyd. It'd be an awesome fight if the weight classes were closer.
It's the same as wondering if Floyd could beat GGG.
The weight nullifies the comparison. The 17 pound jump for Loma is big enough that we can't even make an educated guess about how his speed/power/stamina/chin would hold up. If they fought at their normal weight Floyd would look like a monster in there. Same with GGG against Floyd. The weight difference is less since it would be a 13 pound jump but it's still not fair. GGG would crush him at 160. Just too damn big and good enough to land meaningful punches.
I won't even discuss if the bigger guys drastically drained down because that's how you die and there aren't any boxers I would wish that upon.
They are 4 weight classes apart.Doesn't Loma fight at 137 and Floyd at 149 or something? That is not that much weight diff.

12 pounds is a big deal at that low a weight. Most weight classes are five pound ranges because of how dangerous the weight/size difference can get (that and the politicking).
Also, that would be a 40 year old Floyd cutting down to a weight he stopped trying to get to because of how hard it is against a Lomachenko who would be probably be maxing out by trying to go higher.
How much different are they? I thought Floyd could down near 140lbs?
What are you guys babbling on about? Both Floyd and Loma held world championship belts at the same weight class in different times. This is a dream match up thread.It's the same as wondering if Floyd could beat GGG.

So the Mayweather after KOing Jesus Chavez vs current Loma would be appropriate.
I can see Loma taking it, wouldn't be far fetched.
But post Castillo rematch floyd should destroy him easily.
Loma's next match will answer a lot of questions regarding his the full extend of his technical skills even if it is against a smaller guy in Rigo. Both Freddie and uncle roger said it's their bucket list fight to watch last year, so the whole boxing world should be more excited.
currently? nope.I am a not a boxing guy, but I thought they were somewhat comparable in weight.
If Roman Martinez couldn't handle Lomachenko, whats Floyd going to do? Loma, KO 1.
Loma fights at 130 so he's definitely smaller. Floyd weighed in at 149 I think for the Conor fight so that's quite a bit of weight for smaller guys.I am a not a boxing guy, but I thought they were somewhat comparable in weight.
He probably is actually.Strange trolling. If you're point is about Lomachenkos resume, well Martinez isn't close to the best name on it.
He probably is actually.
who is more accomplished than Martinez that Lomachenko has beaten? You guys pretend Lomachenko has accomplished a lot more than he has.
