    BUT honestly, when you look at his CV it's not a who's who, it's a who's HE?

    Any time you talk about him fighting anyone actually good the "he's too big" excuses start.
    Lets be honest. Loma is just so far above the opposition, that it appears that their so ordinary.

            Loma has 4 big wins in 15 fights. You can nitpick after the fact all you want, but at the time both Rigo and Walters were considered very serious tests for him. Russell Jr. was an excellent win in his third career fight, and Linares was a damn good win as well. He got put on his ass for the first time, recuperated, and then charged back to stop the larger opponent a few rounds later.

            This should be his 5th big win against a far younger, larger up and comer. I'm confident in a decision win for him. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has his share of difficulties, though. He's quite a ways smaller and, let's face it, he's no spring chicken anymore at 32 years old with the wealth of experience he has behind him. Should be a good, interesting match.
            Context matters. Who had russell jr beat going into his loma fight? Russell hadn’t even been in the ring with top competition prior to that fight. Walters seems to have been semi retired when he took his fight with loma seeing that he had been inactive for almost a year before the fight and hasn’t fought since the fight. The best names on his resume were donaire and darchinyan. Rigo was almost 40 and fighting above his weight.

            Those fights were impressive for a guy just starting his career but as a guy being billed as the top pound for pound guy in the game, they’re not that impressive and especially when put in context. You can’t call loma pound for pound #1 when he’s not getting in the ring with other recognized pound for pound fighters.

              Amateurs play a part but they are for young men not 30 year old dudes in their prime, verging on middle aged, that's just embarrassing.

                Lomachenko in the amateurs was the equivilant of a 30 year old grown man playing in college football.

                Winning titles there is impressive when you are 18

                When you are 30 it's pathetic

                  You really have no clue how amateur boxing works in any other country outside of the US, do you?

                      So you don't give Salvador Sanchez any credit for beating Azumah Nelson?

                      Walters seems to have been semi retired when he took his fight with loma seeing that he had been inactive for almost a year before the fight and hasn’t fought since the fight.
                      It'll be a year since Loma fought by the time they get in the ring, so hopefully you'll show some consistency and not give Lopez too much credit if he wins.

                      You can’t call loma pound for pound #1 when he’s not getting in the ring with other recognized pound for pound fighters.
                      Rigondeaux was rated pound for pound and Loma won every round and made him quit.
