    Linares is not even that big

    That's how small Loma is, At LW he will be smaller in height and reach by almost every opponent. Linares seemed big next to Loma but there other fighters even bigger then Linares.

    Heres Loma standing next other LW's





    Easter is the biggest LW and closest in height i think would be Mikey

    One day people on a boxing forum will understand that objects closer to a camera appear bigger. The dude has a listed height, weight and reach. No one is confused about how big he is. There are measured values.

        You do understand that we're talking about frame sizes, and it's significant since fighters are measurably different weights by fight night.

          He could probably fight comfortably at 126 for the rest of his career if he wanted to. Men stop growing long before they are 30 years old. The fact that he can beat a very good lightweight champion is a tribute to his greatness and why he is number 1 pound for pound on many lists. He will always be the smaller man when he fights lightweights.

            He seems shorter than that. I've met him. He also got small shoulders, a small frame.

            He's a natural Featherweight. Could still make it.

              No, that isn't short for a lightweight. But pounds of lean muscular bodyweight is what determines a boxer's size, not height. Tyson is 5 foot 11 inches and no taller than most middleweights but Tyson is was very big man at 220 pounds of lean muscle.

                  The only thing is that muscle gets more dense as you age, thus you do gain a bit of weight, which is why I think a lot of guys in their 30s still sort of "grow out" of a division they have fought in a long time

                    You post a pic with Linares facing straight on, and Loma at a side profile?! Lol, could you be more dishonest??

                    Linares is bigger. He's not a huge guy though. He's always been really skinny. Not a heavily muscled guy.
