    Selby shines with pressure fighters wbo come in straight lines.
    Lomachenko does everything except come in straight lines and although id like to see selbz win he just isnt as good i also think selbz is a bully and wouldnt want to know once he waz under serious pressure. Lomo wins this one by stoppage for me

    You think he'd outbox Selby?

    Selby is a great boxer and I've enjoyed watching him progress. Loma would box his head off though. He'll slowly become more viscous/dangerous with every pro fight; Selby's best chance is sooner rather than later

    The scary thing about Lomachenko is that he's only going to get better as he gets more pro experience.

    Nothing wrong with having an opinion, Beachie mate.. But in this case I feel that you are completely wrong.

    Loma would outclass Selby. Selby is world class, but in Loma we are probably talking about a genuine ATG.

    :yep

    We have not seen the best of Loma. And that must be a scary thought for all future opponents.

    :good

    Hearn wont allow the Selby to go anywhere near Lomachenko. He will insist that Lee follows the "Scott Quigg" model of several defences against sub-standard/undeserving opposition prior to stepping up. And yet, were Selby to fight Loma now, what is the worst that could happen? He receives a boxing lesson from a genius? So what? Even if Selby (who is talented, let's not forget) put up a spirited performance and was competitive for a couple of rounds, that does his resume no harm at all.

    But if Selby waits a couple of years, by that time Loma should be an absolute monster.

    I think Loma should be fighting 3-4 times a year.

    ATG after 5 fights? Are you mad. All time great amateur but we are talking about the pro game here. As I have said before I see Lomachenko winning but not as easily as you lot are making out that's all.

    He means that Lomachenko has the potential to be an ATG. Which he clearly does.

    Well in that case look at Pacquiao, lost early against someone who turned out to be no where near his class. So it really isn't that ridiculous just to claim that Selby can give him a good fight is it? :patsch

    Selby has stated he will have 2volentry defences against polish road sweepers..... Then fight some one half decent..... So basiclly saying make a quik 300-400 thousand then getbeat and make half a mmillion
