The Lomachenko hype is going way too far

[Banderivets]

God you are ignorant as hell, considering Spaniards are not
Classed as white id say not a lot, and if you actually read any of the posts you’d see that is in reply to someone claiming lomachenkos hype is down whites being racist.

Ignorant? Someone made the claim that he's getting hype because he is white, then you said "I am white" so you tried to identify there with Loma to the idiot poster, am I wrong?

He's white and I'm white and I don't think he's as good as Floyd...Am I right or am I wrong?

And that's what I don't get, why even make the statement? Like it gives you argument credibility that a white guy is talking about a white fighter.


P.S. And in which world are Spaniards not white? I actually would prefer that, you know Spaniards are Spaniards, Croats are Croats, Anglo-Saxons are Anglo-Saxons....but someone invented "white".

Well considering I’m making the argument that he’s not better than floyd, proving my point you haven’t read the names or the posts made. Considering I made the point he’s overhyped and made to comment that whites being racist is not the reason lomachenko is hyped, next time actually read the posts lmao

Salido failed to make weight. That should be enough for you...
He also hit Loma in the balls and legs like 5 times.

But but but racist... fcking ******.

He's done things nobody has done which means he's got a case for being better than anyone who laced up.
Hype isn't going too far.

Floyd walked into the ring @ 151lbs against a guy who was a SMW on fight night. Did Floyd complain about the weight? No. He proceeded to beat his ass.

If weight is the reason why Lomafako LOST to Salidio then why did Lomafako insist on dragging up Rigondeaux not one but TWO weight classes?

Stop with the excuses. Your hero LOST. Deal with i...

Like what? Lose to Orlando Salido?

There has been an agenda to proclaim anyone OTHER than an American as "THE P4P KING" for like 15 years now...

Started with Pacquiao, as if he was better than Mayweather all those years...then Chocolatito and Golovkin, as if they were better than Ward....now you got Lomachenko, as if he was clearly better in a P4P sense than Crawford or Garcia...lol...smh.

It's all bull****...the sport's media outlets/providers are simply pushing these non-Americans to take advantage of these nationalistic fans from lesser Boxing nations...overrating and praising them for the clicks and to rob them of their money...

Saying the sport is "globalized" now...LOL...it's ALWAYS been global, and in modern Boxing History, it's ALWAYS been dominated by American fighters....objectively compile a list of the 20 best boxers in the world RIGHT NOW, and you will see that about HALF of them are American...

The Envy and Insecurity is off the charts, man...Brits are ****ting their pants over our B Level Wilder comin' for their big juice boy, Joshy...they're rating any OTHER country's fighters over a Spence because they ain't got **** for themselves!...rooting for anybody BUT an American...

Lomachenko is clearly one of the Top P4P boxers today, but he's got a lot more to prove before he is mentioned alongside a Duran or Mayweather, let alone be mythically matched against them.....so disrespectful and dumb to hype him like this....

A lot of the hatred comes from racism and xenophobia. If he was a black man from America and Crawford and Spence were white guys from Europe we'd have a ton of threads daily about how bad they are and how great he is.

It's just the way it is. It's disgusting but that's Boxing fans for you in 2018. Over time the more nationalities and further the exposure of sport it's actually turned certain fans bitter and to put up a wall rather than embrace the diversity. I personally don't care where a fighter is from and what he looks like if he can fight, is willing to take on challenges and I am entertained I will like that fight. His background is irrelevant.

What's funny is a lot of the people losing their **** over the praise have been picking against Loma a lot recently (Walters, Rigo and even Russell) have decided he's gotten worse and worse. Some wised up and decided Linares was a total bum so they could avoid praise (so why would Mikey duck a bum?) and some would do that no matter who he fought the other half would pick blindly against him and just refuse to acknowledge anyway.

It's funny how people have already written his career of as a bust and nothing will change that. Even continuing to destroy the guys you put on a pedestal and claim will thrash him. You guys are even worse than the hype men because you are completely closed on a guy and will not allow for him to prove you wrong even if and when he repeatedly does. I've noticed that's just how internet boxing armchair fans are.

Seeing the salty racist/xenophobia every day about this little Ukrainian fighter is hilarious to me and a reminder that boxing fans can be the most de****able fans in all sports, without question are the dumbest and most racist and without doubt the most miserable too. The one's that don't pay to go to the fights and just sit in their armchairs and watch that is. Real fight going fight fans are legit.

I personally don't like UFC but I do envy their fan base. They are way more accepting, less miserable, far more positive and optimistic and generally willing to give props. Most Boxing fans are fueled by hate and that is often fueled by blind lust of another man who doesn't even know you and one you've probably never even bothered to go pay see live.
