Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Believes That Vasiliy Lomachenko Is Limited In Skills

[hitmanjosh]

Loma can’t use his skills because he can’t close the gap anymore. His legs aren’t what they were and his athleticism is dwindling rapidly. He needs to move back down to 130 or even 126 and fight against fighters his own size. I’d give him little to no chance of beating naturally bigger guys like Stevenson or Haney. He barely beat Ortiz.

Size matters and he doesn’t walk around no where near the natural weight of others so he’s at a size disadvantage without the power as well.

2 Olympic gold medals say different. Why not give credit where credit is due? Stevenson should think about it while he's polishing his silver medal.

Everyone knows that he was robbed, and he's gone on to display the skills he wasn't rightfully recognized for then.

Exactly, this version of Loma doesn’t belong at 135. He can’t compete with the top guys.

It's easy to be brash and ****y when you're the young up-and-comer, but let's see if Stevenson is still so skilful himself when he's pushing 35 and fighting bigger men at 140/147. Haney too. These guys talk like they're God's gift. No, it's just your time to come up right now. Boxing is all about timing and the shoe will be on the other foot one day.

Nobody was begging to get in there with Lomachenko yet now he's starting to look old and faded they're all on him like vultures. It's embarrassing.

Except, Devin has a history of begging to get in the ring with Loma for years, remember his Nomachenko campaign.

Amen. Remember Money May wouldn't let Tank anywhere near Loma and flat out admitted it? Now he's old, 2 weight classes above, (which to be fair is not their fault, that's on Loma) and coming off war....real f'n war....and now everyone gotta talk tough. I've been watching boxing for 42 years, and I boxed for 4 years, and did marital arts for 8 years, and Loma is the most skilled fighter I've ever seen, and what I loved is that he could've easily boxed people's socks off defensively but chose to be aggressive and relentless and pound the soul out of all those dudes. Shakur beat a physically out atched Valdez, I didn't see such "great skill" just a very good fighter beating a guy who was tailor made for him. He may prove special down the road but he hasn't proven anything yet IMO, other than a big mouth and a criminal punk mindset.

exactly haha. Haney tried to fight him and now everyone is using the "old" excuse. Well that's his own fault for wanting to be franchise champion. Take that future azz whipping and live with it

Why are Americans so sensitive and insecure… always unwilling to give praise to talented boxers from other nations hahaha so weird

We have a serious culture issue in this country. It needs to be fixed.

He does? Why isn't the fight signed yet then? We have a serious issue with people criticizing gladiators. It's insanity to me.

It's not a skill issue, it's an age/size issue.
