Loma's a smaller guy than Mikey.

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostYou are correct, the list is small because most fighters don't wait to turn pro until their 25! If Roy Jones Jr., Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, or Floyd Mayweather had waited to turn pro until they were 25, they would've won titles in their 2nd pro fight! Question is, could Loma have won a title @ 21?
As to Lom, he could have turned pro after winning his first gold medal and then and racked up a bunch of fights against increasing opposition and gaining pro learning experience like most fighters do and fought for a title at a younger age. But the fact is, with countless fighters, only a small number have won a title within 10 fights, let alone multiple titles, and any age of the spectrum.
Any way you look at it, Lom is special. So is Floyd, Oscar, Whitaker, and others, but even HOF fighters who turned pro in their mid 20's would not have even thought about fighting for a title in their 2nd or 3rd pro fight. Lom dared to be great.Last edited by richardt; 09-20-2018, 12:43 PM.

Originally posted by richardt View PostNo one can say if Whitaker, Oscar, or Floyd could have won a title with just a couple fights, even if they had waited longer to turn pro because the fact is, they took the normal maturation process in the Pro's. Anything else is hypothetical/supposition. But again, they are also HOF fighters.

Originally posted by richardt View PostNo, he dared to be great because out of the hundreds of thousands of fighters who turned pro as early as 14 in Mexico and as late as 30 years old and later globally, he was one of a handful of fighters who won a title and in fact multiple titles by his 10th fight. THAT is the bottom line. If anyone wants to debate that, I expect a sizable list of fighters who have accomplished the same. I wont hold my breath.
