I have him PFP #2 behind TC. Winning belts and such is meaningless when theres 4+ belts in a weight division.
Nonetheless Loma has been so dominant past 3-4 years. Only TC compares with him tbh.
If Andre Ward unretired I'd start him at PFP #3 behind TC and Loma. That's how good this guy is

GGG didn't have the promotional force of Top Rank behind him to allow him the same opportunities that Lomachenko has been given. GGG would've happily fought for a title in his second pro fight, and he would've had a good chance of winning too.

I been calling Linares a fraud since before a fight with Loma was even a possibility. Ask 1hourRun me and him went back & forth about Linares a while ago so this ain't me hating just because he fought loma.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostHow is it miles ahead of Ioune? He beat the top guys in two divisions. One of the guys he beat is now a lineal champ. Lomachenko beat a guy who had already been stopped 3 previous times. Went around collecting vacant titles and beating Euro bums and rematching them.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostI agree. He did a lot better than I thought he would do. His size surely helped. Now we see that if Loma jumped from 130 to 140 to fight Crawford it would've been like Loma vs. Rigo. Size matters. The bigger good guy will always beat the good smaller guy. Even Arum admitted that.
