Too many people underrate and throw shots at fighters for the wrong reason. Like with Lomachenko, too many people take shots at this dude for no reason. He nice! He sick with it, you just gotta give him props. He is definitely one of the most skilled fighters in the game right now and probably all time. I don't necessarily agree with him being P4P #1 but I can see why people do it. I think he's the most skilled but he doesn't necessarily have the resume to put him as the P4P # 1. Fighters like Ward, Crawford, etc. have done more without suffering a loss.
As a black man, I understand why black people or other minorities would push back against him. It's because the media and the public can go overboard with the hype and praise. The same media that undermined and disrespected top black and other fighters and are quick to crown white fighters. I hated Tim Tebow with a passion for a long time because of this reason. Media would hype him up more than any athlete I have ever seen.
But I realized, Lomachenko didn't ask the media to slurp him so it isn't his fault. Can't hate somebody for being hyped up by the white media and white racists. Gotta give him his respect because he earned it

If Loma is #1 on a list disregard the list. I think skill wise he's amazing but it's too early for that. I personally am somewhat lukewarm towards him. I really don't know why. When I watch him I'm thinking Ok he's great but.......
