Is Lomachenko overrated?

I don't think so. No idea what he was doing in the first half last night. It's even weirder that he thinks he won. If he actually stepped on the gas in the 2nd/3rd rounds like he usually does, it would have been a vastly different fight. When Loma was on in the mid/late rounds, he looked a class above Teo.

Losing is ok everyone loses. It's how you comeback. So everyone thinks lomo was overated? So lomo has to do good to prove he wasnt

how is luke campbell his best win? you just seem to love saying everyone is overrated/crap :lol1: Then who? Tiny Gary Russell Jr? People claim Loma is small yet Russell Jr far more smaller than Loma is in comparison its double standards. Linares who has been KTFO 4 times prior in better fashion? I say what I see a lot in this era are overrated/overhyped. A lot of these divisions these days are absolute garbage full of domestic level fighters holding many world title belts and such There are a lot of overrated/crap fighters these days hiding behind good matchmaking and refusing to fight the fights they should or simply blasting out total bums and getting a ridiculous amount of praise They spoonfeed boxing fans any old rubbish and they lap it up everytime. Like look at the push for this 'white chocolate' kid and people are lapping it up. You can sell them any old ****, period.

He’s not overrated but he’s definitely overhyped. I was trying to telling everyone this all this whole time, but y’all acted like I was crazy. Loma’s a really good fighter, Teo was just a bad matchup for him stylistically.

Definitely not overrated, I mean he beat Gary Russell in his second fight. People are sucked in by 30-0 undefeated records 😂. He could have done a Wilder, Tank Davis and fight bums after bums. He lost two fights, one to a younger, bigger, hungry lion and the other to a veteran who knew how to handle himself in the ring and he use every bit of his experience to earn that win. I see a lot of jealous posters out there 😂.

If people are making the same sort of silly comments about them versus all time greats, then yes. Neither of them have achieved anywhere near that. I personally haven't seen that sort of rabid fandom for those two fighters, but I haven't been around here much recently. Lots of Fury fanbois here... They think he's invincible and is one of the Heavyweight ATGs...

He is a very good fighter. I just think 135 is not his weight class. He should go to 130.

So does that mean that Fury and Spence are overrated as well? If people are making the same sort of silly comments about them versus all time greats, then yes. Neither of them have achieved anywhere near that. I personally haven't seen that sort of rabid fandom for those two fighters, but I haven't been around here much recently.

If you’re talking p4p, no. He was imo one of the top 3 guys in the world without question. If you’re talking all time, yes. But to be fair, most of the people that over rated his ATG status We’re not real fans. They did so for non boxing reasons. Good answer...agreed

No, he's just too small for 135. Whoever is advising Lomachenko should tell him to drop back down to 130. 130 can be fire next year with the featherweights like Valdez, Frampton and Gary Russell Jr. all moving up plus Davis and LSC.

Loma's a very good fighter who achieved a lot in a short time as a pro but I've always thought he's overhyped by the way he's compared to Duran, Leonard, Pac, Floyd. Some were saying he's better than all of those when he really hadn't done enough to prove that. I see the same thing happening with Fury, there are plenty of people that have said he's the greatest heavyweight of all time and they truly believe it. If he loses/looks like **** against another bum, there will be the same level of confusion and delusion amongst his fans as there is with Loma's fanbase after last night. Basically, enjoy the fights and the fighters. Time will tell if they belong amongst the ATG's but until then, don't believe the hype and make bold claims based on some flashy sheeeit you saw a fighter do in the ring or you're listening to the commentary/presenters who's job is to hype these guys up. We'd all love to be living in an era of great fighters but trying to force it by ****ting on the legends to prop up the current hype job has to stop. If he stayed at 130 or 126 he could of been an atg at those weight classes. But at 135 there are too many atg's at lightweight that would destroy him. Duran, Mosley, Chavez would ko him. Castillo who had an excellent run at lightweight and was probably the best, most consistent lightweight of the first decade of this century, would chew Loma up and spit him out.

From what I've heard, he got exposed last night. Has he always been overrated? Very much so. Right before this fight someone made a thread claiming he was top 20 all time and he's not even close to that. There were also people claiming he's better and more accomplished than Mayweather. That's why he's getting so much heat here and it's not his fault. It's the fact that he has a lot of idiotic fans on this forum.

If anything I felt like I was in a different world with what I was reading on here, never bought into the hype.

I don't wanna use the word "exposed" but everybody has flaws & his were capitalized on. I said way before the fight he was overrated.

No it just Lopez was vastly underrated, and people hate to admit they are wrong so they rather call Lomachenko a fraud than to admit Lopez is the goods. I agree with this statement. Facts :beerchug:

... Loma was never over-rated, over-hyped etc... his problem is that he had no business against top guys at 135, who boil down to make the division... ... Loma is fun to watch... Bullshіt Loma had 3 out of 4 belts and was fighting for the undisputed championship. Lomachenkos problem was that he was too scared to engage for the first 6 rounds and thus gave the fight away.

Lopez came in prepared. Loma had to deal with his speed, punching power and counters. Lopez was prepared for Loma, stepped with him, used his left hook, jabbed and went to the body. Didn't let Loma use his angles especially when he goes to his right. That sneaky right uppercut that Lopez was throwing disrupted more than most think.

Probably is abit overrated, but he is a impressive fighter. ZERO idea how these two guys come to this conclusion. Lomachenko is not the better technical fighter than Floyd Mayweather. it's racism. white man need his hero

People have been putting him up against other atgs and acting like he could beat Pacquiao and Mayweather at 135. It was ridiculous.

From what I've heard, he got exposed last night. Has he always been overrated? If you’re talking p4p, no. He was imo one of the top 3 guys in the world without question.
