How is even even a debate that Lomachenko is P4P#1?

[Raggamuffin]

As a big Loma fan I do not see him as the p4p #1 at the moment, but I really have to question why, since who has Crawford beat? Postol? Postol is a bush fighter whose claim to fame was a single fight, he's a very limited fighter.

People argue same way against Loma saying he is beating up on smaller guys etc. But Loma has some legit names in Walters, Martinez, Russell and Rigo.

But now back to you.

You DKSAB if you don't have Loma in your TOP5.

Did you watch his loss?

You must be trippin' off that bush weed you're smoking if you say that Terence has a better skill set. No one has a better skill set than Loma in the game today. Doesn't make him the "best" but his skill set in unquestionably #1

Or is skill set the new athleticism? You know some vague word that no one can clearly define yet pulls out of their ass every time people compare fighters.

Why isn’t Loma pfp best to you again lol...!!!???

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Lomachenko is top 5 without a doubt, and probably top 3 for sure. #1 is very arguable. Anyone saying otherwise has personal bias against him. There really is no doubt about it.

The loss to Salido can't kept being looked back at. It happened almost 4 years ago, and in that time, he's already beaten much better opponents, including one Salido went to war with (and he did so incredibly easily). Walters, Rigo, Russell are definitely fantastic wins since that time. Pacquiao, Hagler, and even Hopkins all had defeats early enough in their career to non-ATG's. Certainly doesn't hurt their reputation to the point they couldn't be classified as Hall of Famer's/top P4P fighters, years after the setbacks.

If Lomachenko moves up to his 3rd weight class, and continues to do well, then I expect the same people discrediting him to continue claiming he needs to move up to 140 and fight xxxx.

I'm imagining he fights Beltran (who's certainly a live body) in May, and then hopefully gets a tough opponent like Linares (I doubt Mikey comes back down to 135?).
