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

[richardt]

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.

Rankings mean everything to those who worked their a$$ off for years and paid their dues to get them. It is like you're standing in a line with 300 people and you have been waiting for two hours and you are the 150th person and after two hours someone walks up and is allowed to cut to the front of the line and get inside quickly. It makes me want to say to the guy who cut everyone off "Who the *** died and made you God?". That is what I would be thinking. People pull that kind of crap in traffic all the time. I doubt anyone is okay with someone cutting them off with no signal and missing their bumper by inches. Time for some road rage sht and open a can of whoop a$$ on someone who pulls that crap. Get the *** in line like the rest is what I would say to someone who thinks they deserve to cut all those hard working boxers off.

Cirque Olay? LMAOOOO That definitely sounds like something Bob would say.

This fight will tell us alot about Loma. It won't answer all the questions, but I am sure he will learn about himself as a fighter as well.

No way will Arum put his protected future star in the ring with Rigondeaux, even though Lomachenko would have a size advantage. If Rigondeaux made Donaire look like an amateur, imagine what he will do to Lomanchenko.

surprisingly arum is the one who keeps bringing up this fight

surprisingly arum is the one who keeps bringing up this fight

That's right.... After Lomachenko's first fight, Arum was asked specifically about Rigondeaux.... While still in the ring, he said he wanted Rigondeaux..... They asked Lomachenko the same question while still in the ring, he said that he wants to fight Rigondeaux after 2 or 3 more fights.... Anyone can search that on the computer and watch the fight and the post interview....
I don't know how this will play out exactly, but Loma doesn't lack confidence...... We should enjoy the ride...

As long as he is in Arum's stable, he will look like a beast because Arum will protect him and pit him against the right competition. However, Arum can't protect him forever and as soon as he gets in the ring with a quality fighter, he will be exposed as a rookie who is in over his head.

So dumb to talk about protection when he's fighting fcuking Salido in his 2nd fight.

Bob Arum promoting his guy. Whatever happened to earning your stripes as a pro doe?

[tyger]

Promoters are salesmen. I will wait to buy.

Lol haters found a new fighter to latch on too.

The concept of this fight before it got made: "OMG this is a crazy step up, Salido will be too much!"



Now that the fight is getting closer and two days away..... "This won't answer all of the questions. There's still so much to learn about Loma. Salido is an old man who has been in a lot of wars, Lomachenko SHOULD easily win if he's anything as good as they're hyping him up to me"



Lomachenko is a top 5 talent in the world. Hands down. Haters gonna hate

[Holywarrior]

He well could be if he continues this tough early path. Hope he does!

[icebergisonfire]

Its bad enough ring was ranking canelo and broner p4p. It was disgusting that Lampley put GGG in his top 5. THis is worse than both. I mean I get Bob ishyping his guy but geez.

But this has been a trend recently. I remember Harrison Barnes was voted a pre season 1st team all american before he even played a college game.

Andrew Wiggins was the same this year.
