Welcome back. Strange that you feel the need to jump into someones defense though.
Is Veeraphol Sahaprom hipster ****? That was during your lifetime. Kosei Tanaka won his first world title in his fifth fight, that was 5 years ago. What makes it applicable? Or is it just because it's Lomachenko?
EDIT - Just noticed Bundini quoting himself. You're not sticking up for another poster. You're coming to the defense of your altDon't make it so obvious next time.

A case could be made that it was...- Loma's shoulder needed surgery.
- Too much respect for Lopez's power.
- Terrible game plan.
- Teofimo is simply too big and too fast.
Time will tell.

Stevenson
Shakur thinks more highly of himself
than he should realistically he is not a hard fight for Lomo @ 130 because Lopez is basically a 140lb fighter the size difference and the injury was the reason we saw the type of fight we saw

want to know why boxing is going down the s h i t t e r? You’re looking at it square in the mirror.
This is also why MMA is slowly taking over boxing. Why? Because they don’t care about a “0” that boxers and its mentally stunted fans these days are hung up on. All they want to do is fight fight fight. It’s because the best are ALWAYS fighting the best and when you fight the best you take a loss.
Once upon a time boxing mentality was that of MMA. “0” meant less than mixing it up with the best and sorting out who was the top dog. All knew that win or lose they were all going to get paid. I place a large amount of blame on the fans of the sport who happen to be the most venomous of all sports.
Today “boxing fans” are a cancer to the sport. Now if you lose a fight you were “exposed” you were “garbage” you fought “tomato cans” you were “over rated” all along. This gets pasted all over social media because know nothings who waste 90% of their time doing nothing but trashing don’t know the sport. Today not a single fan can spot an iota of talent because if that fighter doesn’t have a “0” he’s trash. Even PFP greatest of all time SRR would be called trash. Fans need to get a grip
That, to me is another problem with boxing. They see a good pro fighter have some good performances and they're ready to crown them and rank them above much more proven fighters.
With Canelo's combination of skills and resume, how were people ranking Loma above him? What had he done to be ranked above Mayweather and Pac on all time lists?
I get the infatuation with the '0' can be an issue (more from casual fans in my experience) but I've seen former pros, respected trainers and longtime fans of the sport prematurely crown Loma as the greatest. The infatuation with the '0' had nothing to do with it because all of that over the top praise was happening with a loss on Loma's record.
This premature crowning of fighters to desperately try and have greats in the current era is as much of a problem as the obsession with an '0'.
