I think Vasyl Lomachenko is the best fighter I've ever seen.

    Even if he bombs herein. He has reached levels few have managed. He fought one of the supposed best in the sport and it wasn't close to being competitive. People prefer to make excuses for Rigondeaux than just call it true.

      I disagree with the level above Roy Jones part. That's just crap talk. Loma is Really good though. The best active fighter now

        I am saying, the only people I've seen at their best who are close to that level are Roy Jones Jr. and Prince Naseem.

        I know they both have their flaws etc, but either at their peak was awe inspiring to me. Vasyl Lomachenko reached that level.

          the standard is to do things northbound. What is Loma's best win, Rigo or GRJ? Loma was already a Lightweight but decided to go to Featherweight.... Who has he beat?

            I don't see anyone beating him, not even Crawford. That is if he could grow to 140 or 47. If Loma loses now it would be because of weight. He is like a little Roy

              I've never seen a fighter so great he clowns ANYBODY!

              That's what's unreal and actually, scary, about him.

              Every opponent is a joke when they're in with him.

              Literally never seen that.

                Little Robbie hates him from now on.

                He can knock out AJ.

                Wouldn't be enough.

                  Loma doesn't have to bend below the waist.

                  He calls guys out when they do.

                  Technically superior.

                    I've never had so much fun and laughed so hard as when watching him.

                    He could fight Teddy Atlas and make it actually fun to watch.

                      Loma is an incredible boxer. I would like to see how he fares against bigger men before I put him on the same level as a Floyd or a Roy. As far as skill, he is as skilled a fighter I've seen since young Floyd.

                      IMO the two things that separates Roy and Floyd from Loma is their athleticism (not that Loma isn't athletic, its just Roy was on a completely different level and I think Floyd is more athletic but not by that much) and the unusually long arms both Roy and Floyd had for their size (Roy 74 in reach at 5'11, Floyd 72in recah at 5'6).

                      IMO unless Loma fights Mikey, Crawford or Spence, he will win every fight easily. He's that good IMO.
