Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Reveals His List For Top 5 Pound-For-Pound

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA lightweight world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko said that he's not in the sport for business, but for entering the history books as one of the greatest. With this in mind, the Ukrainian boxer confirmed that should he beat Jose Pedraza on December 8 in New York, he would love nothing more than measuring himself against Mikey Garcia, whom he cataloged as one of the best fighters of the moment.

Wow, that's a good list. Haha. Loma is awesome but I think I have to go with Usyk for number one. No one in boxing has done what this guy has done. He's been a beast this year. In fact, FOTY imo so far.

Boxrec is an extremely valuable resource, man, but as a way of ranking fighters it's as flawed as any other - more so than many, even though it is is free from the subjective bias that plagues most lists. P4P as a concept is utterly ridiculous to my mind, but if you are gonna indulge best way is to decide clearly in your own mind what criterion (or balance of criteria) you're going to use and do your best to apply that impartially. Personally I have a loose idea of a top 10 or 15 in no particular order based unashamedly on the eye test... but each to their own.

Joshua ?

yeahh, i remember him saying that he was a big fan of AJ at the AJ/Pov fight/and the build up leading but I didn't think he liked him this much.

That's the thing, how in hell they have GGG over Loma?

Russel jr, Walters, Rigo, Linares, Sosa, Martinez (through 3 divisions) OVER Jacobs, Vanes, Lemule, Murray, Geale, Brook strictly at 160 all day.

Unless they credit GGG a draw or a moral victory over Canelo...
