Would you class Lomachenko as a great creative boxer?

[MONGOOSE66]

I was having a discussion earlier with a guy who said lomachenko isn't a great creative boxer

He said he is just "well drilled" and that "he does the same 4 or 5 moves all the time he just does them really, really well"

He pointed to the Teo Fight and said loma couldn't figure Teo out and that Teo just gassed bit I'm not sure.

He said great creative fighters like Hopkins, Floyd, Leonard, Ali, Holyfield and Lewis could adapt and do things you never usually saw them do in fights if they encountered a style clash. He says loma can't do that and just spams the same moves even if they aren't working because he can't come up with anything else to do.

“Creativity” is a matter of opinion. I don’t view it that way. I see it as having a different “gear” or gears.
Mayweather technique is brilliant but it’s his reflexes that make it work.
Their are very few boxers that can adjust to ANY style. I’m not sure I’d agree with his list.

Superb writing PJ. I got to give your comment some thought ; I'm not sure that if I agree or disagree but I thought that I should quote you for this well thought-out and persuasive reply.

Yes brethren, cheers for that.

You can see I've spent a lot of time reading books and travelling further and further up my own ass!

Any fighter that has to clinch and hold when a guy is coming in isn't a creative fighter. A lot of these guy's also then get praised by people saying "he has enough power that guys just don't rush in". No they don't rush in because that boxer hugs him all the time to prevent a attack. I give credit to any fighter that uses his athleticism and skills to defend and not hug while always being smaller in height, weight and having the shorter reach. Especially having a pressure style while having the best +/- in boxing. Now find me a boxer that has all of that besides Loma?

Word, I'm against hugging, too. Rewatched Klitschko vs Pulev, and Jesus... that was one of Wladimir's best peformances - even I agree with that - but aside from having fairly predictable attacks, this mother ****er uses his arms like Jebediah Springfield wrestling that bear in the Simpsons

Lomachenko way of fighting is his way of being creative, of overcoming his opponents. That is creative in itself imo.

I like the style he has created for himself.
