What other white boxers demonstrate that same special speed? If you watch his amateur fights in the Olympics you can really see how fast he is.

Is Lomachenko the fastest and most athletic white boxer ever?

What are you describing as "athletic"? I see him as being highly technique-driven. "Athletic" tends to describe guys like Roy and Pacquiao who do unusual things which rely on physical gifts more than technique. The things Loma does now, he should be able to do in 5, or even 10 years because they are rooted in technique, not athleticism.
No, Loma is not the most athletic white boxer ever.

Who do you think is the most athletic white boxer then?

Much like Calzaghe, you can punch fast without setting yourself up for power... however I don't really see Loma that fast.

He's fast and has obvious impressive athletic talent, but I think it's more a mastery of technical aspects and angles. I guess he moves his feet faster than most but he makes few mistakes and has mastered a lot of the nuances of the sport. If you took away 50% of his speed he'd still be excellent and dominating such are his technical skills and intelligence.
