The Lomachenko hype is going way too far

[Lewisstewart1]

Now to get this straight, I really like Loma, but anywhere I read boxing be it on YouTube or this forum, people are comparing Lomachenko to ATGs all ready, people even picking Loma to beat PBF, he’s fantastic but seriously? Loma to beat PBF is embarrassing, people say he’s done more in such a little amount of fights, but forget Lomachenko started in the pros in his prime and had nearly 400 amatuer fights under his belt, I mean PBF is easily the best 130/135 pounder to grace the ring, I’m interested to see how his career turns out once he fights naturally bigger men in Mikey who I feel is his toughest potential fight but I would expect Loma to beat Tank Davis Farely easy and also can’t see him moving up and facing the other P4P front runners like Crawford and Spence etc as they are way to big in my opinion. What do you guys think? Do you feels the P4P status and praise is warranted? And what weight do you feel he will clear out up to..

[Boksfan]

The hype is real.

Not better than SRR, Duran i think he beats but is really tough as Duran has that one punch that can change someone’s life lol, pernell whittaker I also thinks a coin toss but he’s top 3 easily anyone who says otherwise is in denial

Well I must be in denial. Because lw didn't start with Duran or even Srr. This is the problem with boxing "fans" and even writers. They tend to forget the HISTORY of boxing to fill their narrative on their favorite fighters. The same goes for basketball and even music. If I had never watched an NBA game in my life and got into it now, I would swear the NBA started with Jordan and he has all of the NBA records and beat the best teams ever. At best, floyd is in the top 10 of lw all time. Greatest all time? That's straight up disrespect to guys like Armstrong, Sweet Pea, Chavez and others. Especially when Floyd didn't even have 10 fights at lw!!!!!!!!!

Well considering the biggest streak of defences is Whittaker with 6 I wouldn’t expect floyd to have 10 fights considering he would move up a couple of weight classes more, and seriously mate come on that’s hilarious, floyd beats Chavez fairly easy, he was a can crusher! Armstrong as well boxing has came leaps and bounds since his time, floyds easy top 3, with SRR(one of the few boxers who really stands the test of time from 50/60 years ago) and Sweet pea, but That’s not what this thread is about so I’m going to leave it at that

I don't think it is.

I think it's prob right where it should be

Something tells me this thread is not about Lomachenko.

[sugarsmosley]

lomachenko might go down as one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport...

not sure how you could "hype" what might be one of the GOATS, as every sensible unbiased fan knows is a fact
