I know Vasyl Lomachenko has never competed at 140 pounds. So we're gonna have to speculate a little more about how he would do at 140 pounds.
This is Ricky Hatton from the Floyd Mayweather Jr bout.
honestly on this forum he is extremely underrated gets nothing but **** from posters who never really saw him fight and just go by the Floyd and Pac fights where he was over the hill and out of his element.
you cant be over hyped when no one likes you.

Literally the worst possible style match up for Loma. i think similar to his loss to salido. im the biggest Hatton fan on here but i think Loma is Very Very special and at this point would find a way to get the decision.
Sooo special :)

Not a good comeback, everyone looks bad when they fight T.B.E. Hatton was never the same after that fight, he took too many punches.
Toss up tbh.....loma hasn't proven or shown that he could handle that style. Especially a huge jww like hatton. It depends on how much loma has improved.
:rofl: @ the people that picked Loma by KO. The guy is pillow fisted at 130 FFS.
On a very soft scale (British accent) how did this emotionally effect you?
Hatton on form was a tough night for anyone but we saw vs top world class operators what happens when his bullyish aggression doesn’t work.
Vs Floyd he was outsmarted at his own game.
Vs Manny he may as well have head-butted a chainsaw.
Hattons raw aggression is what makes him and it’s also what breaks him. He doesn’t deserve to be totally disregarded here because he’d work Loma. Loma’s fast yet light shots wouldn’t keep Hatton off him at first but talent and class shows over time...If loma can weather some hard moments and deal with being roughed up he’d definitely have the tools to outclass Hatton.
I don't want to dismiss Hatton completely, because he had some attributes which could cause Loma trouble. But he just wasn't a very skillful fighter.
I think that if the ref does his job, Loma wins by wide decision. If the ref lets Hatton do whatever he wants, it would be a hell of a rough night for Loma.
