Has Lomachenko started off with too good of a resume?

[Derranged]

Linares is a better fight than Easter.

he still lost to salido....and he will lose to mickey and possibly linares

He didn't. Salido cheated and also missed weight. No one should count that as a lose.

[boliodogs]

He is probably the best amateur boxer in history so that might be worth about 20 pro fights right there. All the great pro wins have put him number 1 on many pfp best lists. His fans expect a lot from him. His critics and haters want him to fight the most difficult possible opponents in hopes that he gets beat.

really!!!!im pretty sure loma got compensated to make up for the weight...they tought salido was a walk in the park..at the end of the day it was the judges that gave salido the fight...a loss is a loss
And i dont wanna hear but but the low blows.

[Illmatic94]

easter? he got fortuna problems. not interested. beltran is a solid legit opponent on a 5 fight win streak. if that is considered a "cherry" that shows you that even Lomas haters consider him elite since they have such high standards for him.

theres nobody that Loma can be compared to. 11 fights in there isn't anybody with a better resume. ever. if there is who?

and of course haters gonna make excuses about the rigo fight but rigo was ranked top 10 pound for pound by the Ring and ESPN. so save that nonsense. how many ranked P4P opponents has Crawford faced? and all you need to do is a simple search to see how many posters were accusing him of ducking rigo.

Why does everyone try to act like there wasn't a LOSS to a shop worn face first brawler named Orlando 'Father of Lomachenko' Salido. No excuses... he was young doe... weight doe... low blows doe...

Lost to Salido... can't say that enough. Most of his wins come when someone is inactive, blown up a weight class or two, coming off a loss, or a combination. Being with Bob Arum, Lomachencko is likely to take the easy route he has been on. Get the WBO, or World Bob Organization belt, then move up and fight another b or below level fighter for the WBO strap. He might get lucky like Crawford and get gifted some low class belt holders and unify without promotional or network hang ups though.

Lomachenko has 11 fights, 3 legit very good wins (Rigondeaux, Russell Jr, Walters), and two other top 10 wins in Sosa and Martinez for a total of 5 wins versus top 10 fighters. This is almost 50% of his resume consists of good wins, which is a high percentage of top 10 wins.

I'm not interested in Lomachenko vs Linares or Beltran, I want Lomachenko vs Mikey, Easter, Pacquiao and Crawford.

Has Lomachenko raised the bar so high for himself, that at his 12th fight, a very good veteran and #3 ranked at 135lbs, like Ray Beltran, is an uninteresting fight for Lomachenko coming up from 130?

Adding Linares and Beltran to his resume in under 15 pro fights would be amazing, but he's spoiling fans so much, that those fights seem undesirable when actually he's going on a crazy fast pace that I have never seen before in my life.

Lomachenko could end up with the best ever 'under 20 fight' resume at this pace.

Russell wasn't in The Ring Top 10 when he lost to Loma.

Walters was #10 by The Ring

Rigo was #1

That's all his top 10 wins... Very good though

Stop the got damn press Lemonchenko stan!

Loma talks about wanting to fight the best but when a Crawford fight was on the table, him and his team called it a suicide!

And don't you say it is cuz Bud is at 147 and Loma is at 130, I'm talking bout when Bud was at 140!

Loma's best wins are against unproven midgets, inactive/money starved/ancient fighters!

Heck, you could prolly say his best win was Martinez but he got a gift against Loma's father, Salido!

Right now he better get on Bob's old crusty @ss on making the Linares fight but sounds like Bob got other plans!

Bout to have Lemonchenko face another ancient fighter but this time he'll be juiced so it could level the playing field!

A Crawford fight was never "on the table"..they've always been two weights apart. Loma a small 130 and Crawford a huge 140.

Walters also was at 130 BEFORE Lomachenko so Walters didn't come up for that. Sure, he had an 11 month layoff but that's less than the 12 month layoff the smaller Gamboa had (v Crawford) and only one more month than the less impressive Postol (v crawford). A LOT of folks picked Rigo to win KNOWING the weight difference so a lot of people can't use that excuse. Russell was also a good win. He was supposed to beat Loma and neither guy moved up or had huge layoffs.

Loma has some crazy fans but he's got equally crazy and perhaps even more bitter haters.

lololol i remember you crying about marquez getting dominated by mayweather saying it wasnt a great win but somehow loma's win over rigo is?

I thought you were consistent??

[A-Wolf]

The fight won't be that 147, it would be at 135-140, Pacquiao will be either faster on the lower weight or be drained, either he will go out on his shield win or lose or end his career the way he started his stardom.

135? That sounds bad for Manny's health lol.
