Don't ever compare Lomachenko to Roy Jones Jr....

bait bro...........enjoy, bait. You have issues

Lomachenko is athletic but he is extremely technical. Roy Jones Jr. is all about athleticism and explosiveness. He used his extreme athleticism to cover for his weaknesses and only started to lose when he slowed down. Both great fighters in their own right but I don't see why they are being compared or being seen as similar. Pretty much about I was going to say and was scrolling through the thread to see if anyone said it first. However, I wouldn't say Roy is all athleticism but he is an insane athlete who was trained to box at a very high level. He was a highly tuned machine so once the machine started to break down there was not fixing it because it was an ingrained system. In short he was damn near perfect at his best but once he could no longer be that due to slowing down athletically he fell off quick. Lomachenko is an exceptional athlete in his own right but he is not Roy Jones athletically speaking. He has honed his boxing skills to a very fine point but generally speaking he has a much more textbook universal style rather than a highly tuned style that no one else could ever really pull off.

Lomachnko is smarter, and better

It's because of threads like this one that most people think boxingscene is a crock of shit. And how could you blame them.

The comparisons should stop... Roy's first seven fights, his opponents had a combined record of 95-67-6 Loma's first seven fights, his opponents had a combined record of 221-24-8 Loma's first seven fights include three current/former world champs and span two divisions. And he's fighting another champ tonight...at the rate Loma is going, sure he might not have Roy's athletic gifts, who cares...hell end up a better overall boxer with a better resume. Roy's career has more people he should have fought instead of those he did fight.

Who wins tonight? Walters? i already made a prediction for the fight race baiter....... http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=724679

of all the fighters to compare him to why roy? lomachenko is the most technical fighter (ACTUALLY technical, lateral inside mover, not a runner/clock waster) in years and roy is famous for overcoming his wild technique with his natural speed/reflexes where does the comparison come from? It's a lack of knowledge of the sport mixed with immaturity and an addiction to trolling. More puzzling still is the fact that there are actually people in here taking this thread seriously.

ones got a chin, one hasnt... https://media.giphy.com/media/Aff4ryYiacUO4/giphy.gif

How about link to the article before you go on your little rant against said article?

I love stupid posts like this. (sarcasm) Yea, a guy is all of the sudden hype if he loses to a really good fighter. Good fighters don't take losses or anything. It can't just be that the other guy was simply better that night, or a plethora of other reasons. The last good pressure fighter he fought beat him in Salido, Walters is an all around better fighter than Salido, so this one is more indicative if the hype is warranted. It's bad enough people are talking about a Pacquiao fight.

Roy Jones in his prime was really great and his chin was good too. I don't remember Jones ever being knocked down until Tarver knocked out an already past prime Jones. Different boxers have longer or shorter primes at different ages. Jones was unbeatable at 160, 168 and 175 for many years. Tarver was older than Jones but Tarver hit his prime at a much older age. Loma is a great boxer but he has only had a hand full of pro fights and shouldn't be compared with the legendary Jones at this early time in his career. He has a long way to go to even get close to the dominance Roy had over his competition for many years. he was dropped by lou de valle

Well, tonight we find out if Lomachenko warrants the hype I love stupid posts like this. (sarcasm) Yea, a guy is all of the sudden hype if he loses to a really good fighter.

Lmfao. **** Lomachenko. Young Roy never lost to salido level fighters. Loma is not even on rigo's level.

I read a few articles or watched some interview where people were comparing Lomachenko to Roy Jones Jr. Are these people dumb? A prime RJJ could hit you from across the ring, throw ryu type uppercuts, clown his opponent then knock their ass out. Jones was also a entertainer. He would put on a show while he boxed circles around his opponent. Prime RJJ was a beast. For those that must've forgot, let me refresh your memory. Who is this guy Lomachenko again?
