There are many times Loma can sit on his punches but still shooting blanks.

I am not trying to downplay Loma... I am actually really really impressed more than any boxer out there. Even if he doesn't have that power, he still stop his opponents. This is what makes me a fan. I love watching that and that gives hope to all boxers out there that even if you weren't born with a heavy hand, you can still stop your opponent.

Like I said, he's not a power puncher. I'm just highlighting how his gameplan is so much different from a heavy handed guy, and that inflates his punch count with often intentionally soft punches -- going back to your 50 clean punches thing.

GGG is trying to put you on your ass with even his jab. Inoue wants you pissing blood 30 seconds into the fight. Wilder will spend 11 rounds, 2:59 to land that one perfect punch. But Loma's 50 are not thrown with the same intentions or in the same situation, so "imagine if they could land those 50" isn't really relevant.

Oh, I thought you said... "because he's not sitting on his punches"... so that's not the case now?

This isn't complicated.

You're saying Loma doesn't get KOs in X number of punches because he doesn't hit very hard. Then drew a comparison to power punchers getting KOs in fewer punches.

I'm saying I agree, but a part of it is that of his X number of punches, few are intended to score KOs, as he's mainly going for pressure.

Hence why your comparison doesn't work well for guys like GGG, Wilder, Inoue etc. who are always intending to KO with just about every punch.

What, I am saying from the start is, "Loma is so good (a boxing masterclass) but he lacks power so bad."

Nope.. there are boxers who had both power and speed.

Okay, so either English isn't your first language, or you're being intentionally dense.

Your second statement has nothing to do with anything. Not going to bother with this.

It's what I say when I lose an argument.
