Lomachenko is a good fighter but I see weakness, he relies too much on energy

[Simurgh]

An uneducated eye, yes. Ward does little "holding". What he does do is a tactical clinch that involves a lot of actual fighting on the inside.
That has nothing to do with my original point though so try to stay on topic.

Just pointing out that you cant put Ward in this group. He never was as athletic as the guys you listed, neither he fights anything like them.
I suppose Carl Froch is educated, and he calls Ward's style 'a disgrace and illegal' (i wouldn't go that far).

Comparisson with Floyd or RJJ in much more valid. They looked untouchable while throwing puches - not by 'tactically clinching'.

we will see if Loma can follow Floyd's blueprint once he moves up. of course he'll adjust once he is 30+

I see weakness. his skin is white

When he has lulls in energy he looks vulnerable, the key is to go to the body. Rigo has the power to zap that energy.

Last time he couldn't utiliise that energy and got it zapped out of him through body punches this happened:



Good fighter but we can't call him pound for pound until he avenges the salido fight.

1. Rigo has many gifts as a boxer. Too bad he rarely steps into the ring to use them. But seriously, dude is 35 and the smaller man. Lomachenko by Dec. 9-3.

2. Salido is carefully choosing his options right now. He can make better money fighting Miura, Vargas or Berchelt at 130. For Salido, the risk outweighs the reward should he fight Lomachenko.
