Can Vasyl Lomachenko ever become greater than Floyd Mayweather Jr with a loss?

[Szef]

He's already greater than Floyd.

You mother****ers act like salido was beating his ass all over the ring and knocked him out lmao...

That fight could have easily gone either way, just like Floyd-Castillo

Castillo was JCC's premier sparring partner. He was 45-4-1 when he fought Floyd. Salido was 34-10-2.

Floyd was 25 when fought Castillo.
Loma was 26 when he fought Salido.

Loma started at 25.
Floyd started at 19, beat Hernandez at 21.

Both Olympians.

He's already greater than Floyd.

after 11 fights? i'm a fan of him too, but it's too early to tell if he can do what fmj did. the future will tell.

[7NN]

Yep, that was stupid loss

Hey man im not saying Salido is as good as Castillo lmao, i'm just saying the Floyd-Castillo fight resembled the Salido-Lomachenko fight and both fights could have gone either way...

It's a big ask. Floyd went undefeated from age what? 19 to 40? beat a huge amount of world champions in 5 weight divisions and was still beating world champions and younger fighter when he was almost 40.

To even be in the conversation to be as great as Floyd, i believe Loma (who is 30 next month) would need a solid 9-10 years of beating genuine world level and elite opposition and beat them all while moving through weight classes. Given the fact how early in his career he got near the top and then at least 8 or 9 years of genuinely good wins, then it might be a debate.

As i say, it's a big ask. Whether you like Floyd or not, the achievements are pretty remarkable.

[FinitoxDinamita]

He cant even surpass Marquez, let alone Floyd mayweather lmfao.

[GhostofDempsey]

Only for casuals who think that an undefeated record in and of itself defines greatness. By that standard, Mayweather, Marciano and Calzaghe are the three greatest fighters of all time simply because they retired undefeated and without a draw. Does anyone really believe these three are at the top of the heap based upon a zero in the loss column?

[j.razor]

Can he? Yes, it's not impossible.

Will he? Not a chance. Too old to come close.

Its not possible. He lost to a sub-par fighter. "Pretty Boy" was laying down the hammer in his 2nd fight as a TEEN all the way to 50-0 as an old fighter. loma has already failed in his 2nd fight, its OVER.

[j.razor]

The loss has nothing to do with it. There are boxers who are greater than Mayweather will ever be who have suffered multiple losses. And the only reason he suffered the loss is because he took a risk early in his career that Mayweather would never have taken.

He'd need to keep boxing for another 8 or 9 years against elite opposition to do so, though. It's a big ask.

SMDH....You make no sense. In your theory then Salido is greater than Floyd. Floyd beat EVERYONE & more quality opponents than anyone in HISTORY. Mayweather wanted a title shot his pro debut but they wouldn't let him. WHY do you guys make up lies & excuses? WHY?
