Isn't it Ironic all of boxing went frm"Lomas#1" to"he gets beat by xyzd"

[kushking]

I'm still on board. Loma's great and that's all there is to it. And every major talent will come with all kinds of hype. It's the nature of the business. But he blew through a strong of guys and had no trouble with any of them minus the Linares KD which is no big deal. KD's happen. Who cares? He got up and stopped Linares. And he beat plenty of guys who others thought would take him down. The man is a credit to the sport. I look forward to seeing him again.

I have a lot of respect for Loma. He just was never p4p#1 imho. He was never truly elite for a LW. I just find it funny how quickly he went from being called the goat to being called a gatekeeper & fighters who haven't proven as much are being treated like they are on a different planet to him. (I'm not referring to those who waren't on the hypetrain 100%,but those who were whom now jumped onto other hypetrains (picking anyone else to beat Loma isn't what I'm referring to but those who call Loma a bum now basically)

Oh yeah. It's been ridiculous but they were fair weather fans. They didn't truly appreciate Loma. They jumped on board the latest thing. The minute he slips, they're going to jump on someone else's ship. It's really lame. I see guys on here who support guys who have lost and are beyond the initial hype but have turned out to be great fighters. Phenom still sports his Rigo sig as he should. If you're a fan, you should be in the bad times as well. Look at some of the Red Wings fans in hockey. It was a terrible year but they keep cheering them on. That's a true fan. Those other dudes are just pretending. Great post, man.

I mean, top P4P fighters lose as well. I get what you're saying about Crawford but I do think that Lomachenko being #1 or #2 was warranted at the time. He beat guys like GRJ, tiny Rigo (still a good name), Walters, and Linares and was showing awesome skills. Yes he was hyped but he was bringing a new style of boxing to the mainstream.

Remember, not to long ago Canelo fought GGG twice and could have easily lost both of those fights in the eyes of many fans and writers.

I can't say I disagree with this poll so far,Andrade 3rd most overhyped cherrypicker,Tank#2,& Crawford#1(I left poll anonymous so hopefully more ppl vote)

Tank to me is already turning into a huge disappointment & collosal underachiever for his hype & natural talent,Floyd needs to take off the training wheels or he might get Broner'd

[Citizen Koba]

Did they? Loma's still an elite talent but took a step too far . No man's unbeatable and if you keep facing the best talent available - especially if you're climbing weighclasses to do it - eventually you're gonna lose. FWIW I think Loma might have what it takes to pull it off in a rematch and I'd give him a decent shot against any of the young guns at 135 too, although I'm guessing he might well take at least another L on his way through Haney, Tank and Ryan. Or he could go back down to 130 and beat dudes folk already know he can beat about at his natural size... I know which I'd rather see.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I still believe Lomachenko can beat Haney, Tank, Ryan and others at 135.

When Lomachenko beat Campbell, it was a "cherry pick". Now Ryan beats Campbell and he is a beast?

Tank is even much more undersized at 135.

loma is not the best ever
but before his 2nd loss, he was legit p4p top 3-4

everyone has something to ***** about everyone...

loma moves up in wgt, loses to lopez, he's overhyped
crawford resume sucks and he cherry picks
inoue will never get the respect until he beats a name that americans and brits have heard of (whoever that is)
and canelo lost to ggg in 99% of ppl's eyes, in addition he's a ped user
