Can Vasyl Lomachenko ever become greater than Floyd Mayweather Jr with a loss?

[No punch power]

The poor Vasyl Lomachenko had his soul and heart shamefully and disgracefully ripped apart, captured and manipulated by his boxing master, teacher, conqueror, annihilator, god and lord that is Orlando Salido. A boxer with 13 losses!

Can he possibly ever become greater than one of the true GREATS in Floyd Mayweather Jr with that being the case? If yes, how? What could the poor Lomachenko do now to get over that humiliation?

For starters, Loma has to become a 5 division champ without losses, and have a nemesis - probably Garcia - beat Garcia in an official two division variant (as he forced Rigo, avoiding a catch for years, with fans praising this) to only redeem himself being under Floyd!

It's called Karma.

Can he? Yes, it's not impossible.

Will he? Not a chance. Too old to come close.

The loss has nothing to do with it. There are boxers who are greater than Mayweather will ever be who have suffered multiple losses. And the only reason he suffered the loss is because he took a risk early in his career that Mayweather would never have taken.

He'd need to keep boxing for another 8 or 9 years against elite opposition to do so, though. It's a big ask.

No but if he beats Mikey Garcia he has a better win than any of Floyd's resume.

You mother****ers act like salido was beating his ass all over the ring and knocked him out lmao...

That fight could have easily gone either way, just like Floyd-Castillo

As much as I agree with what you just said, I have to disagree on your logic behind the loss.

We put too much emphasis on the "early in his career...Mayweather can't". Loma had about 400 amateur fights, turned pro at a later age unlike Floyd. Using all that, we can easily go by age as well and say Mayweather would have schooled everyone on Loma's resume at same age.

Moreover that poster is a full blown hater of Loma. He makes this thread almost daily.

Let’s question that loss solido didn’t win a single round the second half of the fight.. it was clearly 8-4 Loma with all the 33 record breaking low blows and all. Sometimes boxing is politics and on that night the guy in his second pro fight couldn’t possibly have a world belt.

It would be hard for him to do what Mayweather did but it's not impossible. The marketing effort on Lomachenko will ultimately be his down fall. It's almost like he's being set up for a humiliating loss. If he gets a second loss on his resume you can't even mention him and Mayweather in the same sentence without being ridiculed.
