    How good is Lomachenko?

    Lomachenko gets a lot of praise, and I like him, but can’t help feeling he doesn’t have the record or the titles in different divisions to ever be considered an ATG. He’s already 30 or 31, so he’s running out of time.

    Thoughts?

    I think he is the best, most complete fighter I have seen in a long time.

    Of course nationalism is not going to let others speak so good about him.

      Extremely good technically. He could have turned pro earlier. Holding out for 2 Olympic golds meant 4 years when he could have been a pro winning belts have been missed out.

      But he is amazingly skilled.

        Not good enough to beat Salidoe. But I've heard he went from green as grass to a grizzled veteran in just the three months after that fight

          He is incredible. With him turning pro so late the lack of resume or achievements may hinder his legacy or status in the sports history but for the short time hes been in the sport he has achieved loads. Looks like its getting a bit harder to get the big names to fight him at the moment, thats guna stall it too. But just as a Boxer he is something really special. Seems to be good at literally everything. A bit more power would be nice but the vast majority of what he throws is really short and fast and point scoring more than wound up with intentions of hurt. Hes can put meat on his shots though, he can hit hard enough to make a difference when he wants to.

          And the best thing about it for me is im still not 100% convinced he is P4P number1, we have Canelo, Crawford, Uysk and then we got Inoue rushing up the table as far as im concerned. I love Boxing.

              You still not giving him a pass for that loss? Also which elite fighters do you think he should face?

                The man is a treat to watch
                You don’t have to like the man but he’s very good at mastering his craft
                If you cannot get past that then you are a hater of the sport

                  He is a great boxer, has very good defense, speed, agility and a high ring IQ.

                    Yeah, but muy point is that he is not undefeated or invencible

                    He is a great fighter but overrated.

                    He needs a Legendary win against a top fighter. He does not have one.

                    Taylor vs Prograis winner and be 4 división champion like Márquez did, Morales, Floyd, Óscar.
