How far do you think Loma could go? He's already a champion, but how much more can/will he accomplish? Granted, there's not much to go from his pro fights, since he's only had four, but I think he has a high ceiling. He's very technically sound, has great timing, good speed, and a nice punch variety. I think he'll go far.

He is very young and very gifted the sky is the limit they started rough, but they are back on track after the Salido wake up call.

Not as high as most think. He will have a decent career though, don't think he is a particularly hard puncher either, will count against him as he moves up in weight.

Let's calm down a moment here. We don't know how he fairs in the higher divisions. He's only like 5'7 so he will have a height disadvantage at these higher weights. And other than salido we haven't seen anyone get physical with him. If he fights a very aggressive physical fighter we don't know the outcome. Let him beat another titlist in this division, preferably soneobe who hasn't fought stiffs (like gary russel) and then we can judge. Walters seems like the perfect test for him. I dare say if leo Santa Cruz wants to stay at featherweight loma can beat him for sure

I think his accuracy and footwork are what helps him stop opponents. He throws very good and accurate body shots and stopped a lot of guys in the ams that way. But at pro there are definite flaws

I think one weakness he has though, is a lack of an inside game.

He's also not the hardest puncher.

Hall of famer- very likely

Top 20 of 21st century- I would say it's slightly above 50% chance

He constantly wants toughest fights

Very dedicated

Can move up the divisions

You do need great adversaries to solidify your own greatness- he needs to fight rigo before rigo slows down

If Adrien ****in' Broner can be a 3 division champion, you really think that Loma can't become one? Pacquiao is 5'6" by the way. We will see how Lomachenko handles the weight, but he is an extremely physically strong boxer, rarely I have seen a boxer with such strength in training.

I think he is a guy that could be a hall of famer...I would like to see him be more active though. twice a year isn't enough.

Lomachenko's ceiling?
