Vasyl Lomachenko is the boxing world's version of EMINEM! All the ring antics everyone hated with Ali, Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr., and Floyd, will now become amazing feats and demonstrations of superior skills!

Did Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield and Tyson ever agree to make weight to fight a man in only his 2nd pro fight, then cheat by not even trying to make the agreed weight ... then gas after 10 rounds and nearly get KTFO?
Salido came in at 147lbs for a featherweight title fight, ffs!Comment

arum always uses Alis name when promoting a fighterComment

His fan base isn't there yet because he only has 10 fights. I don't think any of the guys I mentioned have had as much exposure, and media praise, with only 10 pro fights. Anyway, I wasn't talking about fan bases, I was talking about "ring antics" and showmanship! I can't count how many times an analyst or media pundit (Timothy Bradley especially) has said "I've never seen anything like this." Really? Never?Comment

Loma is getting exposure and praise in the boxing media after only 10 fights because he broke records winning a world title so soon after turning pro and because he's being talked about and called out by other world champions and their promoters. You expect boxing reporters to just ignore him?
Outside of the boxing media, Loma gets no attention at all. Only dedicated boxing fans even know who he is. last Friday a couple of guys I work with, who say they are boxing fans, asked me if there were any big fights happening over the weekend. When I told them yeah, Lomachenko is fighting on Saturday night, neither of them knew who Loma was!Comment

Loma is a great fighter but Arum pushing **** a little too far with this Ali comparison. Don't get me wrong I like Loma but all this pound for pound **** needs to stop. He beat Russel and Walters I'll give him that but at this point you have guys like Rigo who's callin him out yes he should move up to fight loma but then you have Mikey one division up. If he fights those dudes and becomes successful which I doubt honestly then start praising in this matter. All the showboating is acceptable now but when Floyd or David or Broner which can be over the top at times but when they do it it looks bad smh. Someone help me understand this hypocritical **** that goes on. I don't blame Loma either he wants these fights it's Arum who's protecting him too muchLast edited by redmoney; 08-07-2017, 07:31 AM.Comment

His fan base are there but they are NOT mainly people of eastern european heritage. Loma high profile is earned by him fighting and taking over the amateur scene.
I first saw him at Beijing olympics 2008, even at that point i thought it was unfair on his competitors that they have to fight him. Thats how good i thought he was then.
He then stucked around for the London olympics 2012 because his father said his body wasn't ready for the pro game..I was desperate for him to go pro in those days. So yea Loma deserves every accolade he gets, even now he has fought good top fighters in only 10 fights.Comment
