More impressive start to their career. Naoya Inoue or Lomachenko?

    Lomachenko's 3rd or 4th best wins (Russell or Walters) are better than Inoue's best win, so I'd say it's a no brainer.

    Hernandez had a couple of losses when they fought and picked up a few more since than. The other guy Inoue beat that was good, (Navarez/Narvaez?) was like 40 years old. Don't think Inoue ever took a 0 yet.

    The only reason anyone would ever argue that Loma has a worse resume than Inoue right now is 'Salidoe', and that's an idiotic one.

      Inoue ducked a whole division with HBO backing (superfly tournament)

      Lomachenko has fought the best possible opponents he could get to fight him so far (in his divisions.)

      To Inoue's defense, he is much younger, and he does have WBSS coming soon.

      But I'd definitely still go with Loma, Loma is better p4p and if they were in the same division I'd favor him over Inoue.

          Id give Loma the edge but it’s worth remembering you are comparing a 25year old with a 30 year old. Loma had 400 amateur fights and a few WSB fights to boot, Inoue had 81 and turned pro at 19.

          Very different career paths.

              Include Loma's WSB fights and they have the same number of pro fights.

                Why compare? Both are special fighters.

                  Because that's what we do. We compare fighters all the time. That's what p4p lists are. Stop whining
