[bigjavi973]

beaten by salido and now dropped by linares.... who's been previously ko'd 3 times in his career....

but everyone seems to ignore that fact

[j.razor]

Loma was far more superior as amateur than Floyd and done better in 12 fights as pro fighter...

But lost one of those 12 fights....LMMFAO! GTFOH

Why do so many of you bring up Floyd? It’s such an insecure look. Floyd was great, but his time is over. Now I don’t know if we’ve never seen anything like Loma, but he’s special, and the sky is the limit. You can talk about one without mentioning the other.

And anyway, if you really want to bring up fighters who we haven’t seen the likes of, Ali is a better example.

I think the Floyd comparison is a natural one due to the fact that Floyd was the previous generation’s P4P King. And they’re trying to anoint Lomachencko the next to hold that title. The comparison also picked up steam when “Fatass” Rafael said Lomachencko would either beat or be a tough out(can’t recall which one specifically) for Floyd at 130, which is laughable.

To be honest, from a skill standpoint, Lomachencko is very overrated and not even in the same zip code as Floyd. I think the better comparison is Manny. He reminds me more of a young Manny, with better footwork and less power. Lomachencko depends on his physical gifts more than Floyd did. His “skill set” is drastically overrated. He mostly relies on fast hands, quick feet, and reflexes.

I’m actually curious to see what happens to him once his physical gifts start to erode. Guys like Floyd and Hopkins continued to fight at a high level after the physical gifts started to fade because of their elite skill set. Guys like Roy Jones and Manny stayed on top for a long time because they were genetic freaks that were still ridiculously athletic well into their thirties. Lomachencko is already thirty. It’ll be interesting to see how long he hangs on the next couple years.

The Author of this newbie article most likely started watching boxing 5 years ago if he thinks “we never seen this in boxing “ lol

These dumbass writers don’t know ***** about boxing history cuz there have been so many special fighters throughout history yet they act like Loma wining is some special feat. Lol

Damn newbs.

Dude, ****ing leave already.

We had a bet and you lost. Nobody respects you here anyway your a racist.

Honor YOUR bet and LEAVE NOW.

He's a great fighter. Pretty ignorant for people to try and deny it.

Enjoy his fights. He's fun to watch and has a great mindset.

LOMA’s short career to date has already been more exciting than FLOYD’s entire career.

FLOYD was the complete opposite of LOMA, never took risks. FLOYD would put you to sleep though, from how boring his fking fights were.

[PoserExposer]

You’re right, because Salido and Linares are
Two time Gold Medal Olympians
Two time World Amateur Champions
Had 396-1 amateur records
Three Division Champions (fastest ever)
11-1 professional records
AND current P4P Kings


Yeah you’re a special kind of ******, we won’t ignore that fact....

You clearly never watched Floyd when he was competing in the divisions Lomachencko is fighting in.

Stylistically, Loma's style is very similar to Orlando Canizales'.

If you are unfamiliar with Orlando Canizales, check out his footage on YouTube.

i definitely see the similarities there...good call man

We've never seen anything like Lomo? Stop it.

Boxing is over a 100 years old and nothing is new under the sun. Lomo is a great fighter no doubt with the best footwork in the game of current fighters however he's no Pernell Whitaker for example. Let's just enjoy the ride and see how far his career goes. Let's see when he fights another superstar like Mikey Garcia what happens because he's been heavily favored against all his opposition thus far. Wins against Gary Russell Jr., Walters, Rigondeaux and Linares should get him in HOF because they are very accomplished fighters.
