    Is Lomachenko a superior version of Joe Calzaghe?

    I see a lot of similarities with how he pitty pats with changing rhythms and just overwhelms opponents with the sheer volume of his attack.

    But he also sets up harder shots and has better footwork/angles than Calzaghe did.

      Loma ten levels above, calzaghe never fought any fighter in his prime other then kessler and gets too much arse licking in Britain with his win over C grade overhyped lacy. Calslappys biggest wins were way past prime editions of eubank, Jones Jr, Hopkins.

      He was fighting Peter manfredos of the world in his mid thirties in his safety net of the UK. Bum City Central the King gypsy is back he is more skilled then cokezaghe ever was.

              No. He's more like a Joe Calzaghe Lite, on PEDs.

                good comparison, not sure to say better, but more so a comparable smaller version.... as Calzaghe was a much bigger unit and with bigness comes less agility.

                but very similar.

                  They both swarm opponents with pitty pat punches and movement, at that basic level is where I see the similarity.

                  Lomachenko is obviously much faster and he weaves hard shots into his combinations more frequently which is way he is stopping guys and making them quit.
