Nah...lol
Yes...he wouldve. No way would he have beat Salido.
Floyd was 19 in his second professional fight
And...he would've lost. Just like Loma did.

lets put it in context...the equivalent of salido-lomachenko for floyd would be him fighting (in his second pro fight) the likes of an azumah nelson or tracy harris patterson or hell even genaro hernandez (RIP) who he won his first title from a couple years into his career..there would be a very high chance he would lose those fights or struggle greatly because the experience of those fighters at the time was crazy

But why are you even comparing a 19 year old kid to a 26 year old two time gold medalist
Professional experience >>> age when discussing early fights.
Lol at using age to determine if someone should win or not. How about you point me to someone who beat the #1 fighter in the division...in only their 2nd professional fight.
Id rather discuss how Loma would fare vs Berchelt, Machada, Ogawa, Tank, or Farmer...being they can actually provide an answer
Loma/Floyd hypotheticals are just that & there's no way to prove anyone right or wrong. Just an arguement waiting to happen
If Floyd was in his 2nd professional fight? Yeah. He wouldve lost.
shidddddd a prime zab would break out the jailhouserock on loma he wouldn't know how to move

Floyd Loma hypotheticals are off the table
But Floyd Salido hypotheticals are all good
I think its a toss up too. I can see Floyd losing. Salido would throw 1000 punches and nothing short of a KO would stop him. I do see Floyd dropping him once or twice thoughYou can think Floyd could come into the game & beat Azumah Nelson (who was ranked #1 in the division like Orlando Salido was) in his 2nd professional fight...I disagree
thanks for the education*Zab never fought at 130
can't hit what you can't catch*Lol hell no. Zab plays right into Loma’s hands because he’s a hothead and doesn’t like to be roughed up. Zab was talented and super fast but mentally he wouldn’t have what it takes to handle the relentlessness of a Loma nor would he have the stamina or patience needed
he isnt a generation talent (yet)Loma is being heralded as a generational talent. The last generational talent that preceded him would have been Floyd. Its a natural discussion because of the skill level involved
Just wanted to get the heads take on this because this looks like it would be a close fight. Both guys are willing to get nasty too so it would have been a true fight
floyd has earned the right to be compared to other all time greats.Do any of us REALLY believe Floyd at 130 would make Walters and Rigo quit on their stool
I feel like it's basically impossible to have an objective hypothetical discussion about Floyd losing, especially here, but let's not act like the fight wouldn't be Floyds toughest at 130 which is saying something when many ppl think he got a gift in the first Castillo jawn
floyd has earned the right to be compared to other all time greats.
lomo is not an alltime great
if he gets there, we can have that discussion
