Comments Thread For: Arum Already Considers Lomachenko 'Top 5' In The World

[turnedup]

Hes in his mid 80s now...we all have favorites..let the man have his opinion. After all he aint forcing it on us. If he thinks water is green let him think water is green.

i agree with arum...lomachenko and ggg are both top 5 material......one day ggg will be #1, lomachenko will be #2, wlad #3, kovalev #4, and provodnikov #5

Wlad, Kov, Prov, will never be in the top 5. Loma has a long way to go before than, and GGG has to fight a living body first. That's a long time down the road, and it's very unlikely.

I guess it's a fair point, we all have our opinions on who's the best and who'd beat who in fantasy....so in a sense you're right. Though this is just a trend of hyping up fighters beyond their worth that's getting stale to me....especially from promoters and "Announcers". Lampley's comment, Bob's, and the Ring rankings for Canelo and Broner....are all getting to wear a bit to thin for me is all.

Been waiting and waiting for this fight to start. Lomachenko has a chance to make the Myth

Not gonna lie he's in my top 10 p4p

400-1, numbers don't lie

So now we are just giving away free PFP ratings without a fighter having to earn it??? IF he becomes a PFP, it will be after he beats top names and earns it the old fashioned way!

Lol at "earning" a subjective ranking that essentially means nothing. I agree he should have had to earn a shot at a title, but a P4P ranking is just made up regardless of your resume.

Can't lie. The awesomeness of what Loma is hoping to achieve is unprecedented. He's not wasting any time. He might become a world champion in his second 2nd professional fight. Wow, if/when he does it! Imagine if he is the real deal, what names he'll have on his resume in like a dozen or so fights (e.g. Gradovich, Gonzalez, Rigo, Donaire, Santa Cruz, Kiko, maybe move up to Mikey or Gamboa)!

In my opinion though, he can't be ranked as of right now but if he beats Salido and then Rigo, he'll be #3 p4p ahead of Bradley for me. Simply amazing

Too early to rate Lomachenko as a top pro...
In my opinion his style is too aesthetically manifest... Too many unnecessary "nice" moves and punches...
This fight will have to show something more explicit about Loma dealing with a top pro fighter...

Didn't you forget some other good "Soviet school" fighters?
... That's way, way too much...

Hopefully Salido stops this hype train.
