Is there a way you can hate Lomachenko without being biased?

[Irony123]

You can dislike/hate a fighter and still appreciate their talents. But appreciating talent is not what the thread is about.

except every fighter has annoying fans, yet you still make a decision who to like. Otherwise you will hate all fighters. please point me a fan base that doesnt have a lot of idiots.

He seems like a fighter you can't hate. Fights well, doesn't talk ****, and fights for legacy.

Somebody give me a legitimate reason for not liking him.

Didn't read the rest of the post but it's easy. Dude taunt way too much for my liking. No doubt about his talent but I wished he was more professional in the ring.

All great fighters have haters because they beat up on their guy that they like.

[KillaMane26]

I think its moreso than fans behind him... once people start comparing him to ATGs it made dudes hate outta spite

And its this ****** Euro beef going on too

Floyd isnt some god who walked though all his fights and dominated every single opponent he fought.

I give lomachenko a very good shot at beating floyd 126-135.

Styles make match ups. What's floyd gonna do against someone like lomachenko? I dont like floyd myself but I respect his skill, but I still dont see how he would win easily if at all.

I've heard all the fan boys come out too. Power in both hands. Not money, pretty boy floyd. Blah blah.

I get it but that not even an analysis of his skill just a talking point.

i dont see how Lomachenko have a good chance of beating floyd at 126 and 135. Add the fact that lomenchenko will have trouble against floyd's reach advantage. he is giving up 7 inches to floyd. Add his speed, size, skill, defense, offense, power, footwork at 135 that you will realize lomenchenko will struggle against floyd at 135.

Ummm Robbie pretty much does hate all fighters other than UK fighters LOL

A lot of his fanbase is terrible.They already try to act like he's an ATG or use him to discredit certain fighters. Just like GGG, he also attracts MMA casuals who watch Joe rogan on a weekly basis. They barely follow boxing but suck off Loma and GGG



With that being said Loma's skills are undeniable and he's top 2 P4P. Unlike GGG, he actually has a great resume.

126 to 135. That also includes 130.

Lomachenko has never had a problem moving in on anyone who has a longer reach than him despite his short reach. And it's not like its 7 inches on one arm.

He uses his rhythm, feints, and movement to accomplish this which I think floyd would have a problem with.

I can easily see the fight going like this. Floyd waits to counter. Loma throws something. Floyd counters but loma counters that counter because he didnt commit and knew floyd would counter.

Lomachenko does that the whole fight every single round. That's why dudes quit. Now, they arent on par with floyd obviously but its gonna be frustrating no matter what.

Plus, most the guys floyd have fought dont move well at all. Loma would follow floyd everywhere and consistently win with his lead foot and step around him. He also showed against rigo the right way to "walk floyd down". When floyd is cornered he either philly shells or ducks and pivots. When he ducks and pivots stop throwing punches and walk up on him and lean on him. When he philly shells, throw the left straight, step around.

Floyd doesnt have KO power at all. His punching power imo is on par with Lomachenko and not much better if any at all. Linares is a bigger puncher than floyd.

Yeah hes bigger but probably not much bigger than someone like Linares or mikey Garcia.

To think it would be a cake walk for floyd is a huge mistake. I give lomachenko the nod, but I wouldn't be naive enough to say it would be easy.

Floyd is the king of adjustments but I dont know what kinds of adjustments he's gonna make? Linares literally trained an entire year and took matches against southpaws to train to be lomachenko and for dominated in ny score card 6-3 before the KO.

Floyd doesn't have KO power? Bro it shows u never say Floyd fight in the lower weights, to even say Loma would walk him down? Loma has never fought someone of Floyd's caliber, and Loma would never fight Mikey the way he's been fighting all these over matched fighters. He isn't walking down Mikey and he especially isn't walking down a 130-135 Mayweather. Mayweather KOs him

Not at all. When you keep hearing ridiculous claims of how good a fighter is and you don't agree with, it doesn't take long before you start disliking the fans and the fighter.

The fans, sure, but to allow that to effect how you feel about a fighter just seems weird to me. Mind you, looking around the forum many of the most prolific posters seem to behave exactly as you describe, so perhaps you're on to something. All seems a bit ****** and wasteful to me, but I guess it's important to the guys who indulge in that schoolyard ****.
