P4Pbetter set of fighters GRJ and Walters or Lemieux and Jacobs

I agree with your points on fighter of the decade for sure. I think out of all those guys Loma is the most likely to leave a truly great legacy, assuming his career is managed well.

But comparing MW guys to SFW guys is difficult to do, I think. Loma is definitely more skilled than GGG but I consider power to be more of an equaliser at the higher weights (maybe that's total BS but just how I see it), so again to say how a 130 Jacobs would fight is conjecture at best. But it's an interesting thought for sure.

 

Walters and GRJ for me.

Lemieux and Jacobs are very good, dangerous fighters, but Loma outclassed guys there wasn't a blueprint for. The only thing that's stopped the GRJ win from looking even better is Gary's lack of activity since then- H2H, he's probably the hardest of the 4 to beat IMO.

 

Walters and GRJ easily, not even close. I remember in the run up to both of these fights and plenty of people were picking Walters and GRJ.

 

Loma is the money fight of his division. Cotto/Martinez had no reason to face GGG

 

Walters' and Russell Jr's scalps are far better. Walters beat down
2 future HOF'ers consecutively and Loma completely dressed him
down causing him to actually "no mas"

Russell w/hand and footspeed blessed by God, was made
to look woefully ordinary vs. Loma, then would go on
to still win a title from a possible future HOFer.

It's not even close, the level of win between he and
Golovkin's top scalps.

 

GRJ and Walters are much, much better wins than Jacobs and Lem. Different league of fighter even.

 

I agree with everyone in this thread. GRJ and Walters are better wins than Lemieux and Jacobs. As far as FOTD goes it's still too early to tell.

 

It could be. Alot can happen within 3 years like any one of those guys can lose, I picked Wlad because he was dominating the first half of this current decade were in right now, and a win over AJ, would be big. Canelo, Loma, Crawford, Ward, Kovalev, and yes even GGG all have a chance, but as it stands right now... GGG winning that poll is Ludacris..

 

When Loma beat Russell Jr, Russell Jr had no significant wins at the time. None.
When Loma defeated Walters, the only significant win Walters had was over Nonito Donaire (Fighting him at 130)

Now, does this post mean 3G has better wins with Lemieux and Jacobs? No. But it's not some foregone conclusion that Loma's two big wins are all that much better then Lemy and Jacobs.

 

Comparing apples to oranges, but Lemieux doesn't belong in the conversation. Not sure why people keep overhyping him like he is some great fighter or something. Russell Jr., and Walters would be the better pair.

 

Better fighters than Lemmy and Jacobs? Well, don't take this as some argument (As many do here), but more as a disagreement. But neither guy had any wins worth bragging about prior to Lomachenko. IMO, there really isn't much distance between the two sets of wins, regardless of whom one thinks is better. Pretty much a wash.
