Lomachenko In The Firmament Of All Time

[Rusty Tromboni]

Yeah, the Mexic'nt is gonna wish he died crossing the desert. I really wanna see the Cossack slay this knock-off turk.

Hate has always been part of the game; it puts asses in the seats.

It is going to be a crowd-less fight; everyone with any closeness to the fighters has been tested for virus and quarantined.

To the fighters, it going to take on some element of a gym war. I wonder if that will affect their games any?

And you have the nerve to talk about Ray Robinson vs. Maxim.

I bet he's happy that his racism allowed him to postpone facing embarrassment.

NOOOOO!!!! Did he get banned? Suicide by mod... He always ducked off when something he said came back on him...

I'd say if Chenko can beat the giant Lopez, then he is among the greats already, despite a paucity of pro fights. He could already be the greatest stylist in the sport's history. He is certainly one of the top stylists ever. Jersey Joe and Canizales would be his competition for style.

Good luck to this red with the right attitude against the loud mouthed mexican giant.

Wherever Lomachenko ranks in the firmament of all time it has to be one spot below Teofimo Lopez.

Do you know anything about Boxing history?

Maxim wasn't very good. Lopez is scary.

That was RObby's first and LAST fight at Light Heavyweight - in fact, Joey MAxim RETIRED him (temporarily). Lomachenko has a very impressive track record at Lightweight, and don't be surprised if he's the betting favorite in the rematch.

Both Lomachenko and RObinson pursued poor strategies early on. But Lomachenko at least adjusted and took over.

Ray suffered for having to fight a 15 round fight. Lomachenko suffered for NOT having a full 15 round fight.

Natural Featherweights have historically been almost completely shutout from becoming successful at Lightweight. Conversely a great number of Middleweights have done very well at Light Heavyweight AND ABOVE: Fitzsimmons, Langford, Harry Greb, Mickey Walker, Billy Conn, Archie Moore, **** Tiger, Roy Jones, Chris Byrd, James TOney, Bernard Hopkins. A lot of those are old timers, look them up for real insight into Boxing history.


While Robinson never fought anyone as good as Lopez, he was STOPPED by Maxim. Lomchenko was never at risk of being stopped, and actually lost the fight by throwing away early rounds - he took back the fight by going on offense against the bigger man.


I feel bad schooling you, without knowing you. But I gotta state the facts.

Yeah, let's see how Lopez fairs against Spence.


Does RObinson rank below Carmen BAsillio and Joey Maxim?

Does Bob Foster rank below Doug Jones?
