Who does Loma have to beat to really earn respect?

He already beat Linares who is bigger and better than Tank.

Over the last couple of decades every P4P #1 fighter beat P4P fighters their own size or bigger to get to #1. Apart from Golovkin and Lomachenko. So then that means we can take Crawford and Spence out of contention for the P4P title too. They've not only NOT beat any P4P fighters but they also haven't beaten anyone bigger than themselves. Canelo so far has fought neck & neck against Golovkin. So we should take all those guys out of the P4P discussion....Even though this P4P talk is just fantasy talk anyway. It's just a big guessing game.

no doubt he’s one of the best out there but its pretty easy to look great against c and b- fighters when you’re a legit a to a+ campbell wasn’t that good regardless of what the brits say. Rigo is great but he was way way too small for loma honestly beating commey or teofimo won’t do much for me i think he needs to face tank and mikey to solidify his place mikey. He should tell arum to make that fight no matter what it takes. Or call out mikey during his fights and put pressure on making it happen. Pacman at 140. I actually thought loma is great enough to finally put an end to the legend. But now not really. Even at 41, loma doesn’t seem to be interested in fighting pacquiao at 140, a weight pac has not made since 10 years ago. The rewards too be reaped on that fight is just too good, since he’ll be the underdog eventhough the other guy is older. It’ll be his version of pac-dlh.

Haters are gonna hate, and vast majority of them are braindead burger flippers. Having said that.. I want Loma to try Pac. Yeah, he'll be much smaller, and it's a dangerous fight, but Pac is a legend, and fighting a living legend who's much bigger than you is how you cement your name in history. The rest of these jokers do very little. If he beats all of the upcomers (Haney, Teo, Davis), they fade into obscurity and mean nothing for him. I think from Lomas reaction to that question sais it all. Loma believes Pac is too old and what would beating an old past prime Pac do for his legacy. Don't say he's scared to fight Pac cause he will fight anyone within reason. Loma has a legacy he want to be remembered in boxing. Unhortyr

His name is Gervonta Davis. Why is Davis so pussie to fight Loma?? Does he not expect to beat him.

if he wants legacy, Pac would be the perfect fight, but I don't think his father is confident that he can even beat this old version of Pac

He’d get no credit for Tank because Tanks fans wouldn’t exist afterwards and just dismiss it. Remember Walters and Rigo had fans on here.. I think he’d have to beat some heavyweights. Pretty much this!!!...Not Loma’s fault Tank & Mikey scared!!!...smh...

He’d get no credit for Tank because Tanks fans wouldn’t exist afterwards and just dismiss it. Remember Walters and Rigo had fans on here.. I think he’d have to beat some heavyweights. Naww. Beating Davis down would be his biggest win for sure.

If he stays around long enough at 135, I'm sure someone undeniably legitimate will come along. Currently, only Pacquiao is worth the risk/reward. Even-though he's heavier, their physical dimensions are close enough for Loma to have a reasonable chance of victory. Let's not forget that Pac is 40. Maybe someone will come along, maybe not, although I agree the odds are in your favor. Part of the problem is, that “someone” will have to come along while Lomo is still close to his own prime, otherwise he can’t legitimately prove himself. And speaking of primes, I don’t think Vasyl would get the credit he deserves for beating a forty-year-old man, legend or not.

spence, tank, crawford, ....personally I wouldn't fight porter if I was loma. Porter has more muscle up close and, I think he knows dirty tactics a little better. porters a dog. if he whooped up on any of those four though, he'd be highly regarded.

To appease everyone on this forum Lomachenko will need to knock out the top 3 heavyweights cold, then fellate each and everyone of you naysayers, while simultaneously baking you all cupcakes.

Who doesn't respect Loma but the mentally ******ed/insane?

This really isn't about Lomachenko, more so about the ***sucking from ESPN, joe rogan, and others. He's a great fighter. He earned my respect when he beat my guy Rigondeaux. Made him quit. He has a great record. Beat Linares. Made Walters quit in a fight most thought he'd lose(not me). The only time I picked against him was against Rigo. I like the kid. It's not Lomachenko that people hate, it's the media acting like they've never seen a boxer before hahaha. Just like it's not Mayweather that I hate, it's his dumbazz fans that started watching boxing when he beat De la Hoya. The guys is trying to unify his division. There should be no negativity towards him for that. I like his style. But it's the same people that called Sweet Pea boring for YEARS that are now celebrating Lomachenko. That's what I have a problem with. Sweet Pea passes this year and everyone want us to forget that they've criticized this man the past 3 decades.. I was on the anti-Lomachenko train but I'm a fan of the fellow now.Why would I have something against a fighter trying to unify his division and taking on the top fighters? I think he needs to go down to 130 though and totally avoid 140. I know he's daring to be great, but I don't think his skill is gonna help him that much against guys coming in the ring on fight night as middleweights.

Mikey, Gervonta Davis, and Berchelt are the best guys around his weight. In fairness, though, Mikey might not be able to get to 135 ever again. And Tank Davis has avoided the Lomachenko fight like the plague.

He got respect when he beat Linares.

Loma is already getting respect from all corners except one.

He doesn’t beat this version of Manny Maybe in 2-3 years he beats a slower even older version Lol the guy who has been wrong in every prediction.

If you don't think he is great now you probably never will. He is 31 so he is a bit past prime right now. He has been a champ at 126, 130 and 135 and defeated a whole bunch of champions. That's a fuc of a lot. To hell with your grades like you were a school teacher. If they are world champions then they are grade A and he beats the hell out of them one after another. All he can do is fight the best who will fight him and beat them and he has done that. If he can beat all the 135 pound champs he will return to his best fighting weight of 130 and try to beat everyone at that weight. If he can do that he will have cleaned out 135 and 130. He has my respect right now and at age 31 he can't get better but he can stay good enough to beat any boxer his weight. If that isn't good enough for some, tough shyt.

Over the last couple of decades every P4P #1 fighter beat P4P fighters their own size or bigger to get to #1. Apart from Golovkin and Lomachenko. From 126-135 who is that?
