      Russell Jr and Walters are very good wins against previously undefeated fighters but I would have to see more of him vs other styles. For example Mikey Garcia and Easter Jr.

      When you consistently fight top fighters you are more likely to show more flaws and come down in people's P4P list or not even be in it at all (Canelo), unfortunately, fans are that fickle. I didn't think much of Russell Jr and knew Loma would beat him, but I didn't know Loma would beat the breaks off of Walters.

      Just need more information before I call him the best fighter in the world. Lomachenko vs Mikey Garcia would be a really good fight between two very good boxers.

          No. But, I'm not saying he can't be. He just has to prove it. Seems that so many Loma fans want to give him credit before he earns it. He still lost to his most accomplished opponent and it wasn't that long ago so give the guy some time.

              Lomachenko is the world's best boxer, even though he's never gotten fair shake here in America, which is a real shame.

                Lot of really good elite fighters out there makes it hard and its a little unfair to the others to say one is THE best when the gap between them is just not far enough to do that, no doubt Lomo is great I love watching master class skills and he is loaded with them, just a beautiful boxer.

                  How can you call him the best fighter in the world with less than 10 pro fights? We need to see more of him against good fighters before he's labeled the best. I'm also still convinced Walters only fought him for a check and not to win.

                    Potentially? yes

                    Proven? not yet.

                    He has a couple of good wins but showed against Salido his skills (albeit with limited pro experience) weren't enough to deal with that rough house dirty style comfortably. Elite level skilled boxers will find ways to deal with that style, and i'm confident with more experience he would but it really remains to be seen until he faces that kind of opponent or pressure again. Not to mention there's definitely better opposition out there for him to face.
