-3 weight champion in less than 15 fights
-Wins over Russell, Rigo, Walters and Linares
If he were to retire from boxing tomorrow, do you think he's accomplished enough to be eligible for the Hall of Fame?
I agree that it is a good top 5, however, that should not get one into the HOF.
If it was up to me, none of the boxers that you listed would be inducted into the HOF.
It is disappointing that the standards just keep dropping.
Yeah same sentiments, a hall of fame should be reserved for the best fighters ever, but nowadays it's just really watered down.
but answering the TS question, with the current requirements to get into the HOF he probably already has done enough.
Probably Linares, Rigondeaux, Gary Russell Jr, Walters, Martinez/Soa
Some fighters have asteriks to their names, but overall it's a good top 5. Not yet great, but looking at recent inductees, the requirements to get inducted are apparently not that high.
What are Vitali Klitschko, Naseem Hamed, Joe Calzaghe or Arturo Gattis top 5 wins?

I think so. He's reached P4P #1 by a couple of sources (BWAA, ESPN). He holds 3 world records (fastest to a title in 1, 2, and 3 weight classes). He's got good names on his resume (GRJ, Walters, Rigondeaux, Linares). All in 12 pro fights.
Moot point though. He's just getting started.
What do you mean fastest? As in least time or least fights? Jeff Fenech won his first two titles in less time, not sure about 3rd though (don’t think so from memory) and he only tied Muangsurins old record for amount of fights.
Absolutely not. For anyone disagreeing, please tell me his top 5 wins.
I disagree, and without naming his top 5 fights, think so for the simple fact that he won 3 division titles in about half the fights than the next closest competitor
Look at his resume with 12 fights. And he's eager and willing to fight the best because of his self belief. He's a throwback with immense skill. If you hate on him, you're either being illogical or dishonest.
Absolutely not. For anyone disagreeing, please tell me his top 5 wins.

I’m not comparing the 2, just saying that there is a precedent of fighters getting in the Hall of fame with short careers
I hear ya but Sanchez accomplished so much in that short career. Loma certainly can too but he’s not there yet.
With KO wins over three HOFers (Gomez, Lopez, and Nelson) you damn right Sanchez got in. Are you suggesting that Loma has any wins even close to that?

easily no question. if u think otherwise ur not a fan of boxing and don't know anything.
So in your priceless OPINION which fight put Loma over the hump?

If Lomachenko retired tomorrow, would he be HOF-worthy? | BoxingScene Community
