Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Prowess Deserves More Than Middling Stand-Ins

Lomancheko is overrated. Let him fight better opponents than washep up fighters and will see what he got.

Loma is an amazing boxer puncher. I think he will have a difficult time winning fights like Salido where his opponent makes weight and rehydrates 15+ lbs giving him a significant weight advantage and Crawford because his length will give him problems.

Really hope he and Mikey Garcia can fight. I am a big Mikey fan and this would be a tremendous 50/50 fight IMO.

In 8 fights Floyd was still learning how to throw a jab.

Perhaps their difference in age is why since Floyd was 19 or 20 in his 8th fight while Loma is 29.

Jones Jr, is laughable with his HBO Lomachenko shilling. Loma is the real deal he doesn't need people to shill for him. Everybody could see that Lomachenko was taller than Walters. Walters is at least 5'7. Meaning Lomachenko is at least 5'7 1/2 to 5'8. You can't hype Walters as a giant compared to Donaire, and then claim Lomachenko is only 5'6, and make excuses as to why he can't fight Crawford. It's ok for the 5'2 1/2 to 5'3 Rigondeaux, to move up in weight and fight a 5'7 1/2 Lomachenko, but not okay for a 5'7 1/2 Lomachenko, to go up and fight a 5'8 Crawford? The hypocricy is real.

Salido asked for a certain amount and Arum offered it and then Salido ran like a banshee.

He didn't run when he was beating on Lomachenko when they fought. It's going to be hard to convince me that Salido is afraid of Lomachenko (or anybody else)!

He didn't run when he was beating on Lomachenko's balls when they fought.

Fixed it for you. And it is a fact that Salido ducked the rematch and backed out of negotiations, even after Arum agreed to his high purse demands.

He has already fought world champions and undefeated contenders and all of this before his 9th fight when those guys had double or more pro fights than him. If you cant see "what he got" by now, you need a pair of glasses, badly.

Like GGG 2 many are asking Lomo to keep moving up to get better opponents Lomo is a JLW as GGG is a blown up 154 IMO...

Because his division is weak, much like GGG's. At 130 there is what, Jezreel Corrales and Miguel Berchelt? Gervonta Davis would be interesting but Floyd won't make that fight yet.

There's better competition for Lomachenko at either 126 (LSC, Frampton, Mares, Oscar Valdez) or at 135 (Mikey Garcia, Linares, Turbo, Easter Jr.)
