Comments Thread For: Vasyl Lomachenko's Continues Historically Unprecedented Run

[j.razor]

That fight will never happen. When Lom was a featherweight, there was talk of him going even lower than featherweight for a catchweight and those discussions fell through. And now that he is a junior lightweight soon going to Lightweight, Rigo cant follow him up and he cant drop that much weight to go back down. It's a fight that wasnt meant to be though it would have been a spectacle.

It's a 4 pound difference. We need to make it happen....

Rigo literally walks into the ring at 122 which is what he mentioned after the Lom/Walters fight took place in a boxing24 article. Lom enters the ring at the very least at 136. Thats a 14 pound weight advantage. There is no way Lom is going back down after leaving the featherweight division.

They say he's the greatest amateur of all time. Greater than Mark Breland ?

Of course he is, Breland won one gold, Lomachenko won two including the val Barker trophy as the best boxer of the 2008 olympics.
He also won over better opposition beating Selimov (world champ) and stopping his final opponent in one round.
Mark Breland had a weak olympic games when Cuba and Russia didn't went and he still was booed many times by his home crowd in addition to standing eight counts during one of his fights.
Lomachenko also won two world championships and one silver, Breland only had one.
And Lomachenko beat two olympic champions in Concencaio and Fazzlidin.
So yes, Lomachenko is one of the best amateurs and only double or triple olympic champions have an argument against him.

Vasyl will make Mikey Garcia look mediocre. He's a once in a lifetime fighter. Enjoy it while you can boiz.

Loma ain't no Russian, mate.

They are russians same mold same beliefs.

I don't get why people are talking about Rigo.

I don't mean to talk down Rigo's talent. He obviously has plenty of that. But he is too little, and he is old - actually more like ancient for a small fighter. I can't see it being a positive step for Loma to take the fight. Rigo brings nothing to the table. No belt, no money, no audience, and only a few of his fans would be impressed if Loma beat him.

I think Rigo would get a lot more out of a fight with Loma than Loma would get.

Loma has better options. Rematching Salido would please a lot of people, even if plenty of others would see it as a bit pointless. Collecting belts at 130 is always gonna be a good thing to do. Or make the fight with Mikey Garcia.

Fighting Rigo might have made sense at one point, but that was a while ago. It makes little sense now and it makes less and less sense as each day goes by.

He's a brilliant talent, and a joy to watch.

I've enjoyed his journey so far, and you would imagine it's only going to get better. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.

[bigjavi973]

Lists fighters that have made similar accomplishments and then uses the word unprecedented. Does he know what unprecedented means?
