Lomo calling himself PFP #1 is absurd

[BoxingIsGreat]

I don't have a P4P list but I know who the best fighters in the world are. At least the ones I care about the most based on skills and attitude in the ring. P4P is a fantasy.

My top fighters in the world, based on skill, in no order:

Davis
Katie Taylor
Estrada
Usyk
Canelo
Spence
Crawford
Inoue
Lomachenko

This is in no order. Loma lovers shouldn't get mad.

Here is what Loma actually said, but you likely never went beyond the title, and actually read the article:
"All champions have a big ego. I think I am the best pound-for-pound in the world. Terence Crawford thinks he is. Canelo Alvarez thinks he is. For me Crawford is second, Alvarez third. Although none of us accept losing,"

Its funny because I heard Crawford calling himself p4p number 1 and nobody complained then. I think these top guys have to have that arrogance/ confidence and there's nothing wrong with that.

No, unacceptable, he called himself the best fighter in the world, and the guy who is #2 is two weight classes away, just like roberto duran, Lomo needs to go to 147 and prove it, or stfu

Anybody remember Joe Flacco saying he was #1... the best QB in the NFL ?
First of all, you want that attitude in a winner, some dog in your fighters...
Secondly, 9 times out of 10 these guys are answering a question that was posed to them by a reporter or interviewer.
Context is everything. --> (2nd X today)

We understand this thread is meant to bash or discredit a credible boxer, someone good for the sport.
There's a reason he's on all the P4P lists, and #1 on a few.
It's a little comical how 4 or 5 BoxingScene.com NSB Forum experts seem to know better than all these ranking organizations, TV pundits, and boxing professionals around the globe.

I support the right for everybody to have their own opinion. It's just that a number of dudes keep taking things out of context, just to support an agenda. Sure, have an opinion, be a maverick if it tickles ya, but Let's try and keep it real, please.
Peace.

I don't think anybody could fuss about that list. That's a respectable list (9). Some might include Pacquiao on there though, depending if you want to go Top 10 or 12...

Bruh, that video explains it perfectly. Nuff said.

Kudos to Loma. Good English too.

He said what I said exactly on my list of best fighters a couple of posts ago before I even clicked on the video.

Loma doesn't rank himself but he thinks he's the best fighter in the world. He should feel that way. That's how Davis feels as well. You never saw him bragging about that.

He looks extremely confident. Great. Press Arum to make you the Davis fight next.

[GhostofDempsey]

Show me any pro boxer with an amateur record of 396-1, with two gold medals, who turned pro at age 25.

Irrelevant. Especially if haters say only his pro fights count towards his legacy. Tank has over 225 amateur fights, about the same as Oscar, yet Oscar accomplished considerably more by the time he had 22 fights.

Is it arum that needs to be pressed to make that fight? I don’t recall him flat out saying the fight isn’t happening anytime soon. Ellerbe and mayweather both said loma is only getting older and the fight will happen at “the right time”.

I counted the Pacman in the last era. If I have to go top 10, I'd go with Claressa Shields or Devin Haney. Thanks for the reply.

At least make Davis an offer, like Hearn did for Farmer. Who do you think is the bigger star, Loma or Davis? The bigger star usually makes the offer.

I can agree if you are saying Davis is the bigger star in the US. Then Gervonta will have to initiate the preliminaries.
