Lomachenko is another HBO hypejob (Krusher, GGG, Gonzalez)

Consensus opinion doesnt equal truth

It equals truth more than belts do.

Consensus rankings matter. If you’re consensus #1 in the division then you’re #1 in the division.

If you have to go out your way to state that someone is not a great fighter then that alone shows that they probably are better then you would like to believe.

Styles make fights and anyone can lose on any given night.

Mark my words. Lopez will expose Lomachenko.Lopez by TKO.

Where's the guy who said that he didn't see many Loma haters on here????

You are just another example of a skin/country hater like amny others on here.

It's no coincidence that you named all P4P white-Euro fighters.

I will be back here this weekend after the fight to laugh at you and let you know just how much YDKSAB

Kovalev was a beast and fought venoms like Ward. He made the best of his career with a weak promoter. Two fights with Ward were his career defining fights. People remember. The other two Euros have no career defining fights.

I respect the Krusher.

1) In addition to several good title fight defenses, Kovalev really beat Ward and was winning the rematch before repeated nut shots.

2) GGG tied the MW title fight defense record with a legend like B-Hop and most definitely beat Cinnabon by a min of 7 rounds to 5.

3) Loma? Pfffffff! gtfoh

None of those guys were hypejobs and neither is Loma. I think Lopez has talked a bunch of people into thinking he's better than he is. Look for Lopez daddy to throw in the towel about the 10th in a one sided fight.

That's what I'm tending to think will happen too. Lopez is explosive though and Loma has looked human at 135. But I see this one going something similar to Walters, Linares, and Rigo. A little warm up early, then Loma finding his range, and Lopez having no answers to shot after shot.

Will be really interested to see how dangerous Lopez looks early or if Loma can neutralize him with his positioning.

I think the exposed part isn't based on Loma being unproven, it's more about if his hype is proportional to the competition faced. Is it justified? What's Loma's biggest win? His defining fight as a great? What great boxer has he fought?

Exposed is a bad word. I would accept the word overhyped.

Wait, is this a real question?

So a better question is: What great boxer has Tank Davis beaten?

Do you realize that every fighter that Loma has faced aside from his pro debut and maybe one or two defenses has been better than all but like two of Davis' very best wins?

I mean, you really are saying this mess when Tanks best win is Gamboa? Really? That's sad.

Come back here if he beats LSC and at least you have some marginal footing but as of now, you have nada.

Rigo would embarrass Lopez so imagine what Loma will do

It's funny how a guy can give Kov props, mainly for his 2 performances vs Ward. Yet not give GGG credit for his 2 defining fights vs Canelo. When most would say Canelo-Ward more or less the same level, and it's hard to argue against GGG doing better overall in those 2 fights than Kov did vs Ward.

I do feel Kov's win in fight 1 was a bit clearer than GGG's vs Canelo, but it was similar enough. Probably give Kov a slight edge there just because that fight was legit 50/50 to me where GGG-Canelo was an expected win for GGG for me.

Just saying that at 135 Loma has looked very human, compared to 130 and below anyway. That fight with Linares was anything but easy and Loma felt Linares power. Have to feel Lopez is more powerful (and durable) than Linares. But not as savvy or skilled as a boxer (yet anyway).
