    Loma Haters

    Why is there so much hate for Lomachenko? Seriously, it’s almost on the level of TDS!

    He’s no top 20 ATG, but he did have a hall of fame worthy career.

    I’d rate him on the level of a Wilder or a Mosley or a Froch.

      Hof career?

      what has he done?

      as an amateur boxer he’s legendary maybe the ATG but he’s taken a few belts and been beaten by decent not great fighters he’s got to do more to be hall worthy as a pro otherwise they might as well let everyone in

        But WHY? Not trying to sound overly naive, but seriously… It’s not like there’s any shortage of great black boxers. Isn’t it fun to see someone who looks different than you in a sport where it’s not common? Like the Jamaican Bobsledding team story, it’s fun to see people succeed (or at least give their best effort) in something where they aren’t exactly the stereotype.

          You compare him to Wilder's level? Do you believe his skill level is similar to Wilder's? That sounds like an absurd belief.

          The people who hate him do so because he's one of the most skilled and unique fighters in the sport ...and it hurts even more because he's non-American and especially because he's WHITE.

            I like Lomachenko and think he’s great. But at least part of the hate may be because he can come across kinda snobbish and overconfident sometimes. Like when he didn’t ask for a rematch clause against TEO.

              Well, he won a belt in his second fight— correct me if I’m wrong? He also completely destroyed the career of Nicolas Walters, who was basically a fun-size version of Deontay Wilder only with much better all-around boxing skills.

                Because they are fanboys of another boxer around the same division.

                  I’m no Wilder fan, but he’s better than a lot of people give him credit for. I’m still unsure how good — we know he’s a level below Fury, and once he fights Usyk, Joshua, and Joyce we’ll have a better idea. As it stands, he may be best heavyweight of this era that isn’t a Gypsy… I only lose it when people deludedly claim he’d knock out my favorite heavyweight, Muhammad Ali. But Wilder is a decent heavyweight, probably HOF worthy. If nothing else, he has ten heavyweight belt defenses and that’s in some pretty rarified air.

                  To your second comment, whatever happened to the importance of diversity in a community, in a sport, whatever? Shouldn’t people be happy he’s made boxing title fights a little bit more diverse? Shouldn’t our goal as boxing fans to see an even mix of Afro-American, white, Asian, Latin, African, Indian, and Polynesian champs? I may sound like I’m being sarcastic, but I’m serious. Variety is the ****e of life. When everybody looks the same, it’s boring.

                    Last I checked, there was no rule that you have to have a rematch clause..
