If Lomachenko beats Linares there is no excuse for him not being #1 P4P

[BLASTER1]

To be pfp best he has to beat Salido in a rematch or offer him what he wants...and if Salido refuses Loma can move on, unify 130 or 135...and then take on a Mikey Garcia type challenge. Then we will consider his application.

He doesnt need Salido cause hes beaten and beating alot better opposition than him.
If he was to rematch he would put Salido to bed.

I think it would depend on the type of victory. If it a close run affair then no, not on my list. If Loma dominates the bigger, stronger, more natural LW then yes, that would be a truly P4P performance.

He is already #1, the win would just cement his place there.

Salido got beaten by a bum. His fame is beating Lomachenko in his 2nd fight and that's it. I would love seeing Lomachenko brutalize Salido though so that people can shut up about it,

He should’ve immediately rematched him. There will be a time when he is compared to other greats who have lost and won rematches.
He will be judged accordingly.

That would make Loma 3 time World Champion in 3 Weight Divisions. In less than 6 years as a professional & less than 15 fights.


& Please don't bring up Salido that was more than 3 years ago.

He has Salidoe problems doe

WHO the f*** is linares, particularly where does Linares rank on this mythical list? Oh i forgot, you dont have to beat anyone of significance to be #1 p4p, even if you LOST to salido! The HOPE is strong amongst some people, they need someone, anyone so they can prop this person up. They grade on a curve concerning this guy.

There's a stronger case to be made for Usyk than Lomachenko. Don't know why people don't have Usyk in their top 3. He did it the hardaway without the benefit of Top Rank convenient matchmaking. If Usyk beats Gassiev he's #1 p4p no question

I agree. Folks want to dismiss Loma in order to downplay them, but if you discount the agendas and go look at Linares, you'll see a very, very good fighter.

He's the #1 rated fighter at 135 lbs, a division Lomachenko has never fought in. Taking a step into the next division and taking on the #1 fighter is NO joke.
