    If Lomachenko retired today, would he make the Hall of Fame?

    Let's look at his accomplishments:
    • Tied the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title
    • Broke the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title in 2 weight classes
    • Broke the record for fewest number of pro fights to win a world title in 3 weight classes
    • All in fewer than 20 fights
    Has he done enough to make the Hall of Fame?

              While Lomachenko has beat some quality opponents, winning a world title today really isn't the accomplishment like in the past. Especially considering there are 3 or 4 WBA titles, and the WBO as a major title today. You have 17 weight classes and 6 or 7 titles per weight class. If a fighter coming up can't win ONE title today, then boxing may not be for them.. And there are many weight classes without undisputed champs. I'm not saying this to criticize Lomachenko's accomplishments, but boxing as a whole today.

                  Even with all the belts out today, the vast majority of fighters never win a world title or even fight for one.

                      Anyone who says no, are either haters, promo or fighter fanbois or dksab. Period. Loma has done what their fave fighter hasnt even come close to.

                              Yes he's HOF both professionally and amateur, but who'd he tie with?

                                  While i believe that Loma in the grand scheme of things will be a "wasted talent", VERY LOOSELY speaking, he will easily make the hall of fame.
