Who does Loma have to beat to really earn respect?

[FinitoxDinamita]

He got respect when he beat Linares.

[ShoulderRoll]

Mikey, Gervonta Davis, and Berchelt are the best guys around his weight.

In fairness, though, Mikey might not be able to get to 135 ever again. And Tank Davis has avoided the Lomachenko fight like the plague.

This really isn't about Lomachenko, more so about the ***sucking from ESPN, joe rogan, and others. He's a great fighter. He earned my respect when he beat my guy Rigondeaux. Made him quit. He has a great record. Beat Linares. Made Walters quit in a fight most thought he'd lose(not me). The only time I picked against him was against Rigo. I like the kid. It's not Lomachenko that people hate, it's the media acting like they've never seen a boxer before hahaha. Just like it's not Mayweather that I hate, it's his dumbazz fans that started watching boxing when he beat De la Hoya. The guys is trying to unify his division. There should be no negativity towards him for that. I like his style. But it's the same people that called Sweet Pea boring for YEARS that are now celebrating Lomachenko. That's what I have a problem with. Sweet Pea passes this year and everyone want us to forget that they've criticized this man the past 3 decades.. I was on the anti-Lomachenko train but I'm a fan of the fellow now.Why would I have something against a fighter trying to unify his division and taking on the top fighters? I think he needs to go down to 130 though and totally avoid 140. I know he's daring to be great, but I don't think his skill is gonna help him that much against guys coming in the ring on fight night as middleweights.

Who doesn't respect Loma but the mentally ******ed/insane?

[YoungManRumble]

To appease everyone on this forum Lomachenko will need to knock out the top 3 heavyweights cold, then fellate each and everyone of you naysayers, while simultaneously baking you all cupcakes.

He’d get no credit for Tank because Tanks fans wouldn’t exist afterwards and just dismiss it. Remember Walters and Rigo had fans on here..

I think he’d have to beat some heavyweights.

hahaha. good one

[Warrior Scholar]

spence, tank, crawford, ....personally I wouldn't fight porter if I was loma. Porter has more muscle up close and, I think he knows dirty tactics a little better. porters a dog.

if he whooped up on any of those four though, he'd be highly regarded.

[CubanGuyNYC]

If he stays around long enough at 135, I'm sure someone undeniably legitimate will come along.

Currently, only Pacquiao is worth the risk/reward. Even-though he's heavier, their physical dimensions are close enough for Loma to have a reasonable chance of victory. Let's not forget that Pac is 40.

Maybe someone will come along, maybe not, although I agree the odds are in your favor. Part of the problem is, that “someone” will have to come along while Lomo is still close to his own prime, otherwise he can’t legitimately prove himself. And speaking of primes, I don’t think Vasyl would get the credit he deserves for beating a forty-year-old man, legend or not.

Naww. Beating Davis down would be his biggest win for sure.
