I was answering the question you asked about the best fighters in the divisions.

I think he should have fought Berchelt and Corrales before moving up from 130. Walters and Sosa and Rigondeaux were not the best in the division. There was also Salido who I pointed out should have had wins over Martinez and Vargas and held a win over Loma. Even Davis was around (although Floyd wouldn't let that happen).

I wouldn't have had Linares in the P4P although I think he was the #1 lightweight with Garcia being at 140. Now that Garcia is back they both need that fight.

Was Russell Jr #1 at 126 when they fought? I doubt it, he hadn't beat anyone.

Salido did beat him. Mikey defeated Salido and also holds a win over Martinez, anther guy on Loma's record. I personally think Mikey's record is on par, if not better.

Salido, Zlaticanin, Broner, Lipnets and Easter also undefeated.

Vs

Russell Jr, Walters, Sosa, Rigo, Linares.

Just my opinion.
I never thought you was being sarcastic, I wasn't disputing anything you said, Berchelt would be a good matchup as would Tank.

MY OPINION is Loma fought better, much better fighters regardless of who was considered no.1 at the time he was involved in them.

And no way in a million years can I have Mikey's opposition as superior. How many of his victims are probable HOFamers? Loma has two probables already in Linares and Rigo and Russell Jr hasn't lost since Loma schooled him. Plus you have to take the number of fights and career timespan into account.

Garcia has been a pro 12 years with 39 fights.
Loma has been a pro for 4 years with 12 fights.

But again, it's just my opinion
