    That’s like Loma dominating LW for years then moving up to WW and beating prime Floyd Mayweather.

    In other words fucxxkkk no Loma will never be the greatest LW ever.

    You guys should just be content with Loma possibly being the best Ukrainian fighter ever.
    The bold: I think Usyk deserves that title more.

      No, not even close. He might be a great lower weight fighter that ends up in the HoF, but then after that, you got Pacquiao, Floyd, Chavez, Morales, Duran, etc. etc. rank ahead of him in terms of accomplishment. The level of competition is not there.

      But it's not sad though, in today's era, the competition isn't as great as it is because of politics. Pac's and Floyd's welterweight resume is better than all the top welterweights combined.

        He's 4 years in his career. Very early to write him off. In 4 years he has more accomplished then all of the above in their first 5 years.

I think 135 is his limit I think he will fight there for the rest of his career. loma is 30 years old.
            Love Loma but he’ll never surpass Sugar Ray Robinson or Roberto Duran at 135
