    He is really good. I'll love to see him against a guy that can challenge him. I thought Barthelemy could provide some competition but, after see him in his last fight, Am pretty sure it will be a running contest. Mickey is another story, after the beating he took I think his soul was taken. So who is out there that can really test lomachenko?

      Roy Jones jr's and Lomafako's names do not belong in the same sentence...
      Jones has a win over someone called Bernard Hopkins. But it wasn't the Bernard that would come years later. Unless of course you think Mercado was on the same level as Jones was when he beat Hopkins and dropped him a year and a half later? Forget the draw as we know who clearly won.

      As for Toney. He had piled on a lot of weight and was struggling to make the limit. That's why Roy went after him the way he never did for any of the other top fighters in his career. He knew Toney wasn't at his best.

      Roy was a cherry picking drug cheat with a chin made of pure glass. We both know it's true. So you're right, Loma and Jones don't belong in the same sentence. Loma isn't a drug cheat and he wants to fight the very best. Unlike Jones.

        Who HAS lopez beaten? Lomachenko has beaten russell, walters, rigo and linares all who were champs. Walters beat donaire a former p4p fighter and rigo was a p4p fighter.

          Lopez is a nobody with a big mouth. He hasn't even beaten a decent fighter yet. Why would a fighter on the level of Loma waste his time with this?

          Loma is talking about moving down to tempt that coward Davis into a fight. Davis won't move up, so he'll move down.

          What P4P number 1 in history fought a guy without so much as a decent win before?

            Lomachenko was the best amateur boxer ever. 396-1 and his only loss was avenged twice. He won 2 world championships and two olympic gold medals in two weight classes. His pro career is just as impressive. Tied quickest world champion, quickest two division champion and tied quickest three division champion. He has 7 world champions on his resume in 14 fights. No doubt he will be a hall of famer when he retires and I believe he will go down as one of the greatest ever. He is aggressive in his attack but he's among the best defensive fighters in boxing as well. A once in a generation type talent no question.
            He is a helluva of a boxer, but he didn't tied anything. For some reason nobody care to count his 6 professional fights in the wbs. He got paid in all his six fights, which is the definition of a professional athlete, he didn't wore headgear, something that amateur fighters have to use when fighting. The fights were 4 rounders. Boxing is a mess.

              Loma is a highly skilled and talented boxer, but not yet a great, professionally. Great amateur, yes. Even his style still looks amateurish.

              No career defining fight as of yet, where his complete skills were on display. Struggling with guys like Linares and Pedraza doesn't make anyone close to great. He also has a loss to a journeyman with 12 losses. He's a great amateur, yes, but this is the pros. Loma doesn't have much time, either.

              For me he only has to prove one thing: He can beat Gervonta Davis. That's simple.

                The first decade ended on 0010.
                This decade should end after 2020.

                  Loma will fight whoever wants it. Maybe Berchelt should do more by letting him know he really wants it. Then he can have another scalp on his resume. Would that be to your liking, or would you just say Berchelt wasn't one of the better Mexicans?
                  Salido beat him. Period

                  Berchelt is not on the top-6 of mexican fighters

                    P4P #1 according to most publications.

                      How are these 3 better? Berchelt is the most accomplished champion at 130. Nery has done nothing. Navarrete has Dogma. And LSC was always below Gary Russell.
