Has Lomachenko started off with too good of a resume?

A prospect moving into contender status usually needs 15-20 fights before he fights for a title. Loma fought for a title in his second fight and won the title in his third, that's pretty impressive.
From your list, the only interesting fight is Mikey. Crawford and Pacquiao are too big. Linares and Easter are overrated.

1) Do you see Loma moving up to 147?
2) How old (and active) will Manny be by the time Loma is a WW?

Proper perspective is required. Let's say Lomachenko had 10 fights before he fought for his title it would be very difficult to not be impressed with what he's shown so far. Absolute dominance in every victory (maybe he's lost two rounds at the most since his 2nd fight), some solid/good/very good wins against multiple world champions and unbeaten fighters thus far. He's doing things that have rarely if ever been done in the sport and he should be applauded. On top of that he's an incredibly well rounded fighter with a ton of skill and no major weaknesses.
What are people expecting of a guy of less than 20 pro fights?

Loma is a solid fighter but his stans are outta control, I think Loma took some of Kov and GGG fans after Ward an Canelo fights!
All i spew is facts!
All stans are dumb, Ward, Canelo, Floyd, Kov,GGG.
It's just that some stans fit more your agenda than others

I'm a Loma fan
And while what he's done in 11 fights is impressive. He's wasn't a usual young prospect just starting the pro ranks
He started late at 25-26 and had a crazy amateur pedigree so him jumping right into the mix shouldn't be considered anything special because he didn't need any seasoning
His resume is impressive but also believe some of it is Top Rank smoke and mirrors match making
To me his best win is GRJ. The Rigo win isn't all that and shouldn't be looked at as a great win. Rigo was old as sh.it, inactive and had to jump up 2 weight classes. It's a great name but that's about it. ( It's like how when De La Hoya was being built up he was feasting on past prime legends )
His other good name Walters was inactive, ballooned up in weight and hasn't been heard of since
Martinez, Mariaga and Sosa are whatever
I don't think he's started off with too good of a resume at all and want him to fight Mikey Garcia while their both prime. Or other good fighters where the tables aren't completely slanted in his favour

And other guys have won titles early in their career too.
Like guys from Japan and Thailand. Learn some boxing kid.
