Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko 'thankful' after announcing end of great career

Had an entertaining run. Thanks champ

He lost to Lopez. Haney I had as a draw.

Yes, there is no way to score the Teo fight to Lomachenko.

Glad he's hanging them up TBH. The road to getting the undisputed he should have won vs Haney is just too loaded for an injury prone elder who isn't a natural lightweight. He beats the heck out of any of the guys he lost to if they had rematched him. Salido came in as a welterweight for that fight and fouled him egregiously all night (over 60 clear low blows), he should have pulled out of the Lopez fight and waited until after the surgery, and he clearly won the Haney fight and got robbed. And Haney came in as a super middleweight for that fight. Haney's very good at cutting weight, that's for sure. I think Lomachenko, despite the blemishes on his record, changed the way many boxers fight and train and will have a long term impact on the sport as one of the most skilled to do it, who fought up in weight for most of his career.

Excellent fighter and a first ballot HOF’er no doubt.
2x Olympic Champion
2x World Amateur Champion
1x European Amateur Champion
1x Featherweight World Champion
1x Super Featherweight World Champion
2x Unified Lightweight World Champion. (Got robbed of Undisputed too I thought in 2023)
Also done all that within just 21 pro fights.

Enjoy retirement champ!

Any other boxer loses to Haney and Teo in their 2 biggest fights and loses to Salido. Would never get this credit. Yeah he has had a great career but he could have done way more. If he won Haney or Teo those would have been big wins. He could have also fought Shakur and Tank yet decided to retire cause he has no motivation yet held the belt hostage for a year.

So entertaining to watch. But I'm glad he's calling it a career. His style is not going to be seen again. What an original.

All his losses were controversial. Could've easily been 21-0.

None of them were controversial. If he was as good as how you lot hype him up then he could have been 21-0 but you need to realise he isn't. Salido and Haney were close. If he was as superhuman as some of you make out it would not be close or controversial would it as he would have won 9+ rds comfortably. Teo loss controversial lmao literally only the few Loma stans believe this 99 percent of people do not even question that L Loma took

[JakeTheBoxer]

His amateur career was great, pro career not so much. I think he made a big mistake fighting at 135.

130 was his limit. He would have had a better career there.

Happy retirement champ!

did he really need to go for a 2nd olympics? the olympics is top for certain sports boxing is not one of them
