Comments Thread For: Arum Believes Lomachenko Would Leave Ukraine to Compete for Lightweight Championship

[factsarenice]

Of course Lomachenko's willing to leave ukraine for a title shot.
Probably begging to come back after the spanking Russia's gave them.

It's probably better to have people just think you are ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt...just sayn

He should go down to 130 and fight Shakur on PPV in the mean time.

He's not at all, he's a good fighter who has been overhyped to mythical proportions.

I say this as a white person but a Black or Latino fighter with his pro achievements wouldn't be anywhere near as lauded as he is.

A true all time great would never have lost like that to a decent but heavily flawed kid like Lopez.

The problem with your statement is that Lomachenko did (in-fact, in-reality) accomplish more as an amateur than anyone in history.
As a pro...no Black, Latino, Asian or White fighter has achieved (in-fact, in-reality) what Lomachenko achieved in so few fights. When someone (Black, Latino, Asian or White fighter) finally comes around they too will be lauded but so far it hasn't happened.

Your SELF-PERCEIVED boxing knowledge is the only thing that might be over hyped.

Imagine if Mayweather had lost to Gatti and Canelo, like Lomachenko lost to Salido and Lopez? No one who refer to him as the "Gold Standard!"

[factsarenice]

How can you be the "Gold Standard" of the Lightweights, when you lost to a 23-year old in only his 16th fight, at 135?

1st, Lomachenko lost with one hand and a shoulder that required surgery. More over, after surgery Lomachenko blasted out a guy that Teofimo was lucky to survive.

2) Lomachenko has accomplished what no other light weight in history has, and at present, Lomachenko is still the biggest global draw at 135lbs so yes, he is the "Gold Standard" at 135.

But then again you know this, you just didn't mention any of it because the details detract from your narrative.

Some people don’t worship money, Bob.

[Cypocryphy]

Lomachenko has 2 daddy's, Teo and Salido, he can't be the best of anything.

Says the guy who reps himself with a gay **** profile pic, suckling Fury's nuts. Your opinion on this forum is less than zero. I know it hurts, but I'm just being honest.

You're making excuses for his loss, but it happened, he lost to a 23-Year old kid! I don't care what kind of "draw" he is, he's just can't be the "Gold Standard!" Joshua is a draw too, but he lost to Ruiz, and Usyk! He can't be the "Gold Standard" ar Heavyweight! Canelo beat Kovalev, but lost to Bivol. He can't be the "Gold Standard" at 175!

lets get this straight,no matter what arum says or the circus clown haney has stated hes not giving circus clown first shot he has to get in the queue as circus clown elevated himself to super champ to avoid haney,then circus clown got royally whupped by lopez and faked injury ....now haney has stated after kambosos its tank the next opponent if tank wants it so let bob and his pet circus clown spout all the trash they want if haney wins twice in oz circus clown will be 40 before he gets a shot its called whats good for the goose and all that and if hes ordered to defend a belt v circus clown he drops it so circus clown cant get the undisputed and circus clown brought it all on himself by ducking haney
