Real talk though, Lomachenko is the most overhyped fighter I've ever seen

[Lomadeaux]

I'm not even really a Loma fan. He is certainly a talented fighter though, just not a huge fan of his style. Too much pitty-pat for me. But again a super talented guy.

I find it hilarious though that all he is really guilty of is really trying to test himself - ie moving up in weight, and fighting the best as well, on even terms.

People who are new to boxing aren't really aware of what that looks like. They are used to stars using their status and privilege to avoid tough fights, while accusing the other guy of ducking; and then only selectively matching up with tough opponents - making sure the venue, refs, judges, weights etc are all on their side.

If you move up in weight, and truly fight the best on even terms, you will often times lose. Credit to Loma for being a real man and taking real fights. Not a lot of real men out there like that; in boxing, on this site, or in real life.

Great post. I find it absolutely stunning that these trolls have been completely eliminated with a handfuls of posts this evening.

We should receive honors for attempting to save the reputation of this forum.

[QUOTE=TheBoxGod;20996973Yes lomachenko looked great against some champions and looked horrible against others and lost twice, that is a solid resume of a solid champion and thats what lomachenko is.. a solid champion.

Problem enters when fans of the opposite spectrum starts to argue and express their opinions more so to offend the others rather than speak the truth. Loma fans will say he is great but he isnt a great, he is a solid champion. Loma haters will say how he is trash but he isnt trash, he is a solid champion.[/QUOTE]

Loma looked horrible against an opponent?

I think his defense was overhyped. all that matrix talk and he's always eating leather. Canelo has better defense.. but other than that I'd say he proved his hype by walking through GRJ, Rigo and Walters. those 3 wins to me means he's not "hype" just my opinion. and yes losing to a green 23 yr old is a bad look but it was more so him not doing sht for half the fight. when he did let loose he dominated. but he's still a threat to anyone.

Best fighter in a long time.

Honestly from day one I remember when this guy turned pro and his fanboys were saying how he's a different breed and would never lose.

Supposedly his boxing was just on a different level and there was nobody who could crack the code

Then after feasting on old midgets, he fights luke Campbell and struggles and people say "oh the side though..."

As if Canelo just didn't go up to 175 and knock Kovalev spark out, or go 168 and brutalize Liam Smith 12-0

And sorry but both of those guys are a hell of a lot better than luke Campbell.

Then he goes and fights scared vs teo, and I'm just being honest here I don't even see teo as some phenominal fighter I just think he's a decent world champ level.

It just says it all about loma he was never that good and needed size advantage to look like a "genius" against little fellers

You don't surprise me about what you say about Lomachenko and Campbell, as you've been writing some strange stuff for a while. Lomachenko won EVERY Round against Campbell and knocked him down in the 11th which he was lucky to survive.
Every fighter doesn't have to be KOd to lose by a wide margin.

Also, Salido is about the same size, rehydrates at a much higher eight, say about 15 lbs, e and has a longer reach than Lomachenko. Do you write these things in your sleep??

So what's going on in your mind to write a post like that....Sorry, no, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

joe rogan and brandon schaub or whatever his name is overhype white boxers a lot from my observation...loma was seen as the next great white hope so i think they tried to sell it for as long as the could, it's the usual politics in boxing imo

[boliodogs]

He did lots of good fighting with lots of good wins in a very short time. Maybe you never thought much of him but lots of other smart boxing people thought he was very good. He also has by far the best amateur record in history if that counts for anything. He was a big featherweight fighting at 135 and lost to a big strong young lightweight who might be a future great fighter. Most viewers thought the fight was about an 8 round to 4 round type win for Lopez so not that one sided of fight. If he is as vastly overrated as you say he is let's see how he does in his next fight. Most respected p4p lists still have Loma in the top 10 best just no longer 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

He is a pretty good boxer, but not in the same level as Pacquiao and Mayweather. He is very beatable if you put him against guys that are bigger than him. I think his best weight was at 126 and 130. He looks like he doesn't belong at 135. Ryan Garcia has a very good chance at beating him.

They both hyped up Wilder too, why bring up MMA fans opinions of boxers?
