Mayweather situation was different
Why exactly? You cant choose when it fits your argument and when not lol
A fight that ends in SD or MD is always really competitive or is there a possibility that the judges screw up?
And so did loma in better fashion, Garcia does not have a win against oppnents Like Russell jr and the ax man, no ones even close to the talent level of those two on his resume and loma did it in 8 fights .
You guys strait refuse to give Russians any credit lol
.......take your Ls
There is not much to separate them.
Mikey has a deeper resume. Loma has the best win(s).
That is probably true. Garcia has a better resume but best Lomachenko's wins > best Garcia's wins
How does losing to a guy Mikey beat & beating a guy past prime that Mikey beat in his prime make for a better or even close resume?
Yes. I love Lomachenko as an amateur and he's ATG in amateur boxing, he's on my p4p list based on his amateur accomplishments. But he didn't have to turn pro, that was a wrong thing to do for him and he can't attract any fans, from business point of view even Broner > Lomachenko (not his fault he's foreign though)
Lol what? Scorecards are not the only thing that matters. Maybe for casuals who boxrec their knowledge.
According to your logic Mayweather had a razor close fight against Canelo Alvarez, although everyone knows he dominated alvarez with ease.
Mayweather situation was different
I love them both. They are both great fighters. Mikey has no losses and Loma has one loss. I think Loma has defeated better fighters than Garcia has. Not that Garcia couldn't beat the same guys Loma beat but he hasn't fought guys that high rated yet. For instance Loma just won every minute of every round with Walters. Garcia has yet to beat a fighter as highly regarded as Walters was. I am sure he will do so in the future.
I mean, one of the best wins in Lomachenko's resume was a competitive close MD win over some prospect and Garcia looked better against Salido and Martinez.
At the end of the day, scorecards is the only thing that matters, that's just my opinion, you don't have to agree with it
But on the other hand he got fights with Piriapinyo-Gamalier Rodriguez-Koasicha and planning to fight Sosa now, wasting years of his prime condition on some bums, that makes me really disappointed so I'm not sure about average quality of his opposition

Pernell Whitaker didnt school Chavez? Bradley beat Pacquiao first time around? I hope you are not serious.
Sosa was clearly beaten by Walters, but didnt embarass himself. Afterwards he won against unbeaten Fortuna and Stephen Smith.
He is by no means a great opponent, but he is no pushover. Also Lomachenko just won against Walters, who was highly ranked by most guys here. I dont like it, but only a hand few of boxers are fighting back to back against great fighters.
Back to the question, as of right now Garcia has the deeper resume.
Man, Garcia knocked him the **** out

I wouldn't say Garcia looked better against Martinez
Man, Garcia knocked him the **** out
you must be confusing the fights. lomachenko ktfo'd martinez in 5 rounds. garcia stopped him in the 8th with a body shot after getting decked in the 2nd round.
Garcia at this time. But now put up a poll for all existing fighters in history who had the best resume with 8 fights. I'd like to see who the top 5 are. I know of a couple but not better than Lom's.
But on the other hand he got fights with Piriapinyo-Gamalier Rodriguez-Koasicha and planning to fight Sosa now, wasting years of his prime condition on some bums, that makes me really disappointed so I'm not sure about average quality of his opposition
Sosa is the Wba regular champion so it's an unification bout. He is definitely no bum, even though he's a huge underdog. They were also talks for Loma to fight Corrales, but it was said that Jezreel didn't take the fight. So you can't really blame Loma, he can only fight those who want to fight with him. Also I don't believe that Loma will ever try to pad his record, he took on Salido in his 2nd fight, that was a very risky thing to do and it was definitely too soon. It's unfortunate that one defeat means so much in boxing, many fights are not made because of it.
As for the future I hope Mikey and Loma fight eventually gets made. It will be a hard fight to make though. Mikey with his Mexican fans can explode pretty fast. I really think he's got that thing that could make him a real star. And you have to ask yourself if that happens is he gonna be eager to fight Vasyl.
As for Loma, he can only become big if he beats a fighter with a big name.
The average quality of Lomachenko's opposition is insane. Better than just about anyone's.

Best wins for Mikey:
Salido
JuanMa
Rocky
Zlaticanin
Best wins for Loma:
Russell
Rocky
Walters
It's pretty close. Mikey's got more names probably, but he's had 11 years and 36 fights. Lomachenko has had 3 years and just 8 fights.

Judges are infallible now are they?
At the end of the day, scorecards is the only thing that matters, that's just my opinion, you don't have to agree with it
Lomachenko, his wins over Russell Jr and Walters are better than anything on Mikey's resume.
That's a good argument, you can actually say that best scalp in Lomachenko resume (Walters) is better than anybody in Mikey's resume
competetive close MD? Lomachenko won 11 rounds on that fight. For a guy fighting Russel Jr. at 2 fights in something to talk about.
You can't say that fight that ends with MD is not competitive or close
