    He is only overrated by his fans. Povetkin, totally overrated considering how Cruiserweight Huck whooped his ass and had him sailing around the ring like a ship without a rudder.

    Is he overrated? No. He's a tremendously skilled boxer who is still improving.

    Does he have star-power? No. Who cares though? As long as he fights the top guys around his weight class, I'll be happy.

    I think he's one of the most skilled fighters in the sport right now.

    I think he's underrated because dumb*ss people like the TS dismiss him because they like to distinguish between pro and ams.
    Guess what? Loma adapted to the pros amazingly (quick). Just like Sweet Pea and Floyd did, except against WAY better opposition.
    TS: log off and never come back.

    I don't know how anyone could say he's overrated. He's been taking on top tier fighters since his 3rd pro fight. It's incredible. I personally thought he lost to Salido in a very tough fight for someone with his lack of professional experience, but he bounced back from that loss very quickly and has positioned himself as arguably the best Featherweight in the world after only 5 professional bouts.

    The guy is easily the best boxer in the world at the moment.

    In 21 century only peak Pacman has a case to be better than Loma.

    Peak #48 went life and death with JMM and lost to Erik Morales.:deal Loma is way more skilled than #48.

    Dude is the truth. Salido fight proved the guy has it all. His foot work is amazing.

    He's definitely better technically than Pacquiao.

    If Lomachenko shows he can fight on the back foot, and develops an inside game, he'll be the most complete fighter in the sport.

    His lack of an inside game is what concerns me the most. Other than that he's damn near complete.

    He can develop one.

    Pacquiao looked totally clueless when Bradley clinched him in their second fight.

    Lomachenko is a very technical, skilled guy. But his lack of power may be his undoing.
