    If lomo could beat:

    Salido add donaire for feather belts, defends vs rigo

    Beats Mickey at 130

    Beats Crawford and Vasquez at 135

    Beat ruslan and jmm at 140

    Beats manny, Bradley and Floyd at welter

    Then yes, he would have a strong case for #1 atg

      Lomachenko moving up through the divisons and saying he does beat the likes of Salido, Rigo, Frampton, Quigg, Donaire, Mikey Garcia and progresses to move up further through the divisions his resume would undoubtedly be superior to Floyd Mayweather, in the end of the day boxing isn't about taking the easy path its about proving yourself and If you're a professional you should aim to be the best and that's what Loma is aiming on.

      Ofcourse its a big ask for Loma to beat all those names and progress up through weight classes but IF he does his resume would bury Floyds, there is no doubt about that...
      I wouldn't even put Floyd in the top 20 boxers of all time, so many other boxers who are better than him for the simple reason...
      They aimed to test themselves not take an easy route.

        By the time he gets up through the weight divisions most of those big names you're mentioning (Mayweather, Pacquiao, JMM) would have retired by then...

        ****** thing to say, we don't know how Loma will do but If he can live up to the expectation he likely will break records.

          What the ****? He fought Sammy Angott in about his 20th fight in less than a year as a pro. That's earlier than standard, particularly in regards to the time, today.

            you're damn right he would be #1 atg, cause he'd have to do all that in under 2 years LOL!!

              Who's gonna get through a 70 fight career nowadays, without going on waaaaay past their sell by(therefore making it impossible to put together a 70 fight win streak in a short space of time like SRR was able to)?
              30 years is not ancient history. Duran and JJC had 70+ fights. WK has 60+ fights and has only been fighting once or twice a year for the last 6-7 years.

              Lomachenko will not have 70 pro fights but if he has 40+ fights against top level competition then we can start talking about ATG / GOAT status.

                  If he did that all to primish versions of those fighters, easily #1 ATG. It would take a mix of incredibly toughness, and extreme amounts of skills to go through that resume. God like abilities.

                  Add Danny and Thurman somewhere in there.

                    it's impossible in this day and age to match the accomplishments of old greats like robinson. less people box now so there's a smaller talent pool, which means fewer great opponents - and on top of that, fighters fight a lot less frequently now.
