yes hes a bum like roy. he needs to fight like floyd and only potshot and be boring against faded fighters. that is true greatness
Time will only tell if Loma could last another 10 years fighting in the same style he's fighting now. I really doubt he can fight another 5 years like that. Floyd was an offense machine when he was younger and changed his style to preserve his ability to fight until he was 40. Loma already got injured and had surgery, which could be telling in the future. He will either adapt his skills and become like Floyd, or end up like Roy Jones after he lost all his natural abilities.
i think loma should be fine since marquez retired already. i dont think any of the young guys is willing to fight fire with fire. Marquez would of ko loma. U can't do that fancy **** with him
I really do think he would evolve as he gets older, the younger fighters that would be coming up would be bigger at the weight, so he would need to. He already has the ring IQ and like Mayweather did I see him evolving with the younger fighters as he gets older.
We have seen him fight more defensively. Against that guy he hurt his hand against, he turned into a potshotter for the last 4 rounds. I personally just don't think that is his natural way. He likes being in the danger zone.
He loves combination punching. At some point it will get him in trouble again but I enjoy watching him.
remember what happened to roy jones jr. When tarver stepped in with a power that he threw at the same time as roy threw.
lomo fight nothing like roy. Lollll

He's NOT that skilled.
And just for the record, there are many ways to fight offensive while remaining defensively responsible. The pot-shotting approach is not the only way. Go watch prime Mike McCollum. Once again, this is no way to suggest Lomachenko should change his style.

Once again, refer to my position on whether or not I think he should change his style in the previous post.
Remember what happened to Roy Jones Jr. when Tarver stepped in with a power that he threw at the same time as Roy threw.

In the E.O.A's mercy, however, he will allow for those who have taken the pathway of error to change their path, and in so doing, they will have the gift of discussion extended to them as well.
Idiots so sensitive about anybody speaking Lomachenko's name that they think 'dazzling' is an insult to him or those who think I am suggesting that he change his style will not be entertained in this thread.
Those willing to respond to the argument at hand and offer counter arguments will be granted the right to engage in discussion with the E.O.A.
I think that is why creating angles is so important. If Loma is in position to land a punch but his opponent is not really facing the right angle to get leverage, then throwing with Loma at the same time is futile.
When they face guys that are willing to 'punch with' them. As in a fighter that is willing to let his shots go simultaneously as Lomachenko throws.
... which makes 'dazzling' offense different from 'normal' offense how exactly? Any type of offense makes a fighter vulnerable... I guess the job of any fighter is to find ways of minimising that risk whilst maximising the leather they land on their opponent. I think 'Chenko manages that fairly well on the whole. His most obvious vulnerability is one that you see in all fighters that use a lot of movement, which is getting caught off balance whilst moving... also I suspect that as he starts moving into his mid 30s he's gonna have to modify his style some as his speed and possibly stamina decrease.
