    No, it's not speed, skills, heart, toughness, style, durability, footwork or stamina although he has an abidance of all of the above.

    Lomo wants to be as legendary as a fighter as possible.

    He wants the best right now. He will not wait for a guy to age or decline to fight him. He will not price himself out to avoid anyone! He'll move up in weight if needed. He seeks the #1 guy at all times. If #1 says no, he'll seek out #2. If #2 says no, give me #3.

    Ray Robinson has the best career of all time and fought several ATG`s during his career. Ray Leonard fought Thomas Hearns, Duran and Benitez, hard to beat that.

    if true he would have fought Berchelt instead of Martinez, Sosa, Marriaga and Rigondeaux.

    That’s very fair,I mean nobody would of thought bad after losing to Salido if he changed his plans and went the long route but not a bit of it.

    Berchelt was the best guy at the weight class outside of Loma. I'd have commended Loma on cleaning the division out.

    I said Modern champion, I should have said active champion.

    If you have to say, Sugar Ray Robinson, look how you elevate the other person primary in the thread. Actually, there is some stuff out there that Robinson avoided some of the best black fighters of his time. He did fight Turpin and lost badly. Turpin was black.

    I think Ray Leonard has the best resume of wins out there among those living. A fight with Aaron Pryor would have been nice though.

    Why are you putting Martinez in there while leaving out Walters dip****??

    Wasn’t it you who made a thread about “Lomachenko AVOIDING Walters to fight smaller Rigondeaux?? Lol

    Then encourage him to move up and win titles at 140 and 147. How do you think he does against Errol Spence?

    Slow down there Dino
    He just moved up to 135 and beat the best fighter there. How about he fights Garcia first before going to 140

    Leonard was Great and also lucky to have great fighters surrounding him that have the same mentality as him.

    Loma has the same mentality but was not given the same luxury. Gary Russell, Walters, Rigo, Linares, Garcia and Crawford (maybe a stretch) are some of the best guys around and he is on course.
    He is definitely on the path to greatness, let's hope the train continues.

    He'll fight Pac at 135. That defines chasing greatness.
