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

[JohnCastellanos]

Usyk is #1 p4p. Its not even close.

Spence is #2.

How the heck do you have Spense any were on any P4P list? He hasn’t done anything to even get in Top 10 and his fight with Mikey will actually drop his P4P status even lower! Do you not understand that a P4P fighter doesn’t just bully his opponents? He has to take risks in order to be a P4P boxer? IMO GGG and Spence are right next to each other but neither are P4P fighters!

This guy is a big warrior and a good example to the boxing world.

He has a lot of fans in México.

Which is why it bothers me that so many Mexican Americans bash Loma for being European.

For me it's;
1-Lomachenko
2-Crawford
3-Canelo
4-Usyk
5-Sor-Rungvisai
6-N.Inouye
7-Spence
8-M.Garcia
9-GGG
10-Joshua
Honourable mentions to; Callum Smith, Ken Shiro, Dogboe, Prograis, Eleider Alvarez who would make up my 11-15.
If Wilder and Fury both look good in December, the winner of that could creep into my list.
GGG is on the slide and will prob be out of reckoning completely within 12 months. Inouye could shoot up the list depending on the outcome of WBSS. The result of Spence-Garcia if it happens will greatly effect the list as well.

"That's why, for me, boxing is a sport and not a business." - Lomachenko

Yeah, GGG used to say that same BS! Loma might regret passing up on a chance to fight Pacquiao @ 140! That's a big money fight! Perfect timing too, with Pacquiao regaining a title, and coming off a KO victory! A unification with Pedraza does not equal a victory over Pacquiao, not even when Pacquiao is 39! Not a b**ch move, but definitely a bad look!

The only time I could see a heavyweight on a P4P list is if a career cruiser comes up and wins a title a la Holyfield/Haye and potentially Usyk (who I see as way more talented than Haye).

Heavyweights that could never squeeze down cruiser are just too unquantifiable with the massive gaps in size/weight advantages. The only one I could see is Fury who actually moves and boxes like a smaller fighter (excluding of course his bean pole jab).

Joshua best W is 41 yr old klitch. No way he's in top 5, or above Mikey.

What's Mikey's best win?

Spence should not be on top 10 p4p hes only beat Algeri and brook. Peterson is a stretch. Dogboe shows potential but needs to unify to see what he can do, also how do you have eledier alvarez over artur beterbiev

I will not put any Mexican in there they cheat.

I can see your point with Spence, but the manner of those 3 wins you mentioned makes me think there's more to come from him. The list is subjective though and he could drop out if his activity or level of opponent falls considerably.
Beterbiev is only missing due to inactivity really, His talent is up there with the best. I loved his fight against Callum Johnson but that was his first for about 2 years I think. It's a shame he signed with the wrong promoter, and the subsequent falling out from that or he'd have a case for top 5 I reckon. Hopefully he gets in some unifications soon or at least fights some more top contenders - the pool is pretty deep at 175Lbs.
