Whos more skillful- ward or lomachenko?

[Madison Boxing]

Two technical fighters, two olympic gold medalists, fighting within the space of a week. Who do you feel is the more skillful, technically gifted fighter?

[Larry the boss]

Both are highly skilled..but Ward has proven his skill on a much higher level....Lomo is talented but losing to Salido does not help his case here at all

[Simurgh]

lomachenko by some margin..

Lomachenko is more skillful right now even in my opinion, but that will only increase as time goes by and my goodness, he is ten times more fun to watch. He has higher output and does a lot of things in there. Much more active. I'd watch his fights any day. I really won't watch a Ward fight more than once. It's about all I can stand.

Lomachenko by far.
Remeber offense is also a skill, Lomachenko has defence and offence.
Loma does not need to hold, grab and clinch, he never does.
He is a pure boxer.

Looking at the kovalev vs ward fight I was surprised that the so called masterboxer ward had to clinch to land a body punch.

Lomachenko was awarded the val barker trophy when he won his first olympic gold, he is two weight world champion and he is fighting a much bigger undefeated fighter in walters in his 8 pro fight. Loma deserves respect

Well I got to say Ward because unlike Lomachenko vs. Salido ( a corn on a stick vendor from Tijuana ) when Dre realized he had to make the adjustments to come from behind vs. a top five P4P KO brute in Sergay Kovalev he manage to get the win and make a lot of casual wonder if they know anything about boxing ; just like OP.

It's definitely Lomachenko for me.... but he's got to show it once again this weekend. He struggled against Salido but he outclassed GRJ, a guy more athletically gifted than him.

Salido is a top guy in his division and just drawed vargas who is also on top, not to mention it was lomas first pro fight??? WTF

LOma by a mile, I think ward has an amazing STRATEGY, but loma is more skilled

Both are on a high level....with different strengths and weaknesses

i chose ward..the deal breaker was his level of opposition in his career

hard to gauge "skills" when one has only fought 2-3 top fighters.

in time it may change for me

BOTH are two guys i study the most of current fighters

Based off of what I've seen, Ward.

It's hard to forget Lomachenko looking lost when Salido got inside on him, this is why the Walters fight is so appealing, we're gonna see if he's improved since then.
