        Lomachenko's records are kinda overrated to me. He turned pro at 25 with close to 400 amateur fights and 6 fights in the WSB where he got paid and had no head guard.

        When people say a fighter did something within X number of fights, it implies they were inexperienced or green. Lomachenko was a grown man with plenty of experience. It's not like he's going to retire with over 30 fights.

            Yeah Loma’s achievement being far more unique is what swung my vote.

              Oscar had 228 amateur fights and an Olympic gold medal. It’s not as though he turned pro on a learning curve.

                Based on on the three fight comparison I would rank Loma higher. But, Oscar was a 6 division champion, something Loma will never come close to.

                  Oscar had plenty of amateur experience and more pro experience.

                    228 is a lot of amateur fights, but he turned pro at 19 years old. Lomachenko winning a title in his 3rd fight is incredible, but once he had about 6 fights, he was already a seasoned pro and 27 years old. All of those "he accomplished this in ___ fights" records became less meaningful to me.

                    Oscar won a title in his 3rd weight class in his 22nd fight. Lomachenko will be past his prime by the time his 22nd fight comes.
