Comments Thread For: Is Lomachenko The Best Pound-for-Pound Fighter in Boxing?

IMO, there isn't a clear P4P number 1 right now. If I had to go with only one fighter, I'd say Ward.

[Luilun]

The answer is yes and you can include steroid cheat Mayweather

P4P is your own personal assessment. There is no objectivity to it, there's no use pretending there is.

If you disagree with the judges assessment of Ward/Kovalev, then how can you put Ward at the top?

The bolded above is the major reason why your view of P4P isn't going to get much respect. You don't validate your own views with other peoples views - especially if those views directly contradict your own..

So using your own logic if I feel a fighter wins fights that they officially loss I can say they are #1 cuz I feel they won the fight. That is absolute crap. Judges decide a fight we dont. Can beat a drum all day but it does not change the result. Either way even with one loss Ward has still done more than Loma and has faced the better competition.

If you don't want to use your own brain, then you don't have to. Stay with the official decisions. Its an excuse not to think though, often convenient in this sport.

I don't disagree with your assessment re Ward/Loma, though I feel your logic is deeply flawed

Naoya Inoue beats him, has the attributes and mean streak to do so

what a ******ed thing to say. lomachenko is four weight classes bigger than inoue. lomachenko would brutalize him. what are you smoking?

[Bogotazo]

Totally agree with this article. The eye test isn't enough, resume matters.

[Snoop Frog]

There isn't a clear P4P #1 right now. All the guys in the discussion have at least one flaw in their CV: Strength of competition, very debatable decision in their most recent win/loss, etc.

[MELLY-MEL...]

He's very very good and definitely one of the best fighters, but to say he's the best I can't do that right now, need some more fights with top top tier fighters

[whoelsebutjames]

come on lol, hes not above golovkin. golovkins been blasting people out for years and has 3 of the belts. im a huge fan of loma but i dont get why he gets so much praise and people are in awe of him beating sosa, but when golovkin beats someone of sosa level they start calling him bum killer, triple hype etc.

Walters, Russell jr, Martinez, and Salido(l) are much stiffer competition relatively
Versus Jacob's, Brooks(ww),Lemieux

And Golovkin is already planning his next two fights against people he'll be heavily favored to not only beat but beat easily. He should rematch jabcob and remove all doubt and then he can be #1. But he doesn't care about that. He cares about belts.

1. Ward
2. Lomachenko
