    :rofl

    Loma looked better in 2008, he was lucky to get past the Cuban in the 2012 SF

    If he's the most complete fighter you've ever seen then its you who needs educating "As slick as Whitaker, as aggressive as Tyson" :lol:

    Do you think Loma is better than Duran at lightweight, or Robinson at welterweight?

    He didn't look as good in that SF but he's already dominated Toledo last year, winning the fight clearly. Lomachenko is one of the best young fighters I have ever seen. I'm with Brickhaus, I had him down as the best pro of this decade but with this AIBA nonsense...we'll see how it goes.

    Yes to both. Styles make fights and Lomachenko can deal with them all as evidenced by his record. Some styles such as the Cubans can take them close and yet Lomachenko still finds a way to win.
    There are styles that always beat Duran and Robinson, Lomachenko doesn't lose. He is as close to perfection as I've ever seen in the ring.

    I don't care, I truly believe what I'm saying. He is the unbeatable fighter, he's Roy Jones with technique perfected.

    Kinda how I'm reading it also.

    he isn't going to be fighting in the actual pro ranks instead he will be fighting semi pro AIBA fighters.

    he may never turn pro fully.

    It is pro boxing, it's 10-12 rounders without headgear and the 10 point must system.
    If all the top amateurs go this route then it will take off, it will be the APB in Europe and all the other organisations in the US.
    It's ambitious but if it comes off it could be the future of boxing.

    Look at the job AIBA does with amateur boxing these Olympics being a perfect example. Now imagine that corruption, lack of transparency and inconsistency applied on a global scale for all professional boxing with AIBA as the sole governing body. It would be a nightmare. The ABC's in the pros are equally as bad but at least there isn't a monopoly with one being able to rule unrivaled. They alternate with how corrupt they are, the IBF and WBO right now are somewhat decent while WBA and WBC are as terrible as AIBA.

    All that is true. I guess I'm trying to be optimistic about the situation. If there is a whole lot of corruption and fighters not being looked after it won't last long anyway.
