    I don't even like Pacquiao, but you have to be foolish to say he's easy pickings for an amateur

    FINALLY a logical post in a thread that was going downhill with all of this dick riding. What happened to the days when people recognized the potential a fighter possesses and leaving it at that? Instead of proclaiming him to be the second coming IMMEDIATELY ranking him above the likes of established ATG's. Just goes to show how ESB has gone down the shitter

    Its going to be interesting to see how he adjusts his style for the 12 round limit & rough & tumble of the professional ranks.

    Hugely talented, great amateur career but he isn't the perfect, unbeatable fighter some on ESB claim.

    I think Morales defense is very good and Barrera's one is vastly underrated.It's true that Pac was **** in some of the fights you mentioned, but he proabably didn't take serious those fights and looked sploppy and slow...in his best fights of his prime he looked much faster, powerful and focused.


    Pacquiao couters COTTO'S JAB:

    And that is not even his best weight.Being orthodox or not, Pac has/had better defense than many says.


    Said that I think Lomachenko is gonna be p4p 1 and is very possible that with time he will become a pro-atg and surpasess Pacquiao, just for speculation, the kid have insane talent.

    One of them went to the pros and established himself as a legit p4p talent while the others stayed in the am's leaving their pro potential as a big question mark. Do you see where I'm going with this?

    Thats still a ridiculous claim to make for a fighter that has never fought one round in the pro ring. Do you have any idea how many former olympic gold medalists have completely FLOPPED in the pro ring? One of them was recently beaten into retirement.

    I'd bet a lot of money that Rigondeax would have lost to Donaire when Rigondeaux only had 1 pro fight

    Loma should take Pacquiao out for good in his very first fight.

    I see, so in short there's just no reasoning with you since you've already placed Lomachenko on this immortal pedestal that not even Norse gods can achieve. But then again I should've assumed this beforehand going by how your username is a play on words with what I'm assuming is your homeland. So I'll just be moving on and you can continue your fap-session on your own terms. Have fun I guess :blood

    the amateur game means a good amount, but it's so different switching to a 3 round fighter with headgear on to a 12 round fighter.

    I've seen all of Loma's WSB fights and from what I've seen in those 5 rounds tells me he can't go 12 rounds yet. I'm sure he'll make the transition successfully, but as of now he's not ready yet

    Lomachenko is the best amatuer to turn pro in the past ten years. He should not only be a future champion, but rate as a top 10 pound for pound guy by 2018. An amazing talent.

    They are all on steroids at the top level, so I am not saying Broner is the only guy. However, being a star and being american, he can have access to newer, harder to detect stuff.

    His body frame and him looking so huge at such low weights remind me of Shane Mosley and Roy Jones, both of which were never caught officially. I have no proof as you'd imagine, but neither did the people testing another american, Lance Armstrong.
