    IMO I think both Loma and Crawford possesses versatile skills that make them the most complete fighters in boxing right now. Both have great offense and slick defense that they use simultaneously, can box, brawl, fight at any range either coming forward or backwards. I think they are both equally skilled but the difference would be Lomachenko faster, more athletic and boxer-oriented with quick footwork and Crawford stronger, more street fighter mentality and killer instinct who can switch any stance.
    I honestly think both will be dominant in their 3rd weight class. I don’t see anyone beating these 2. They’re just that good. Bob Arum should be happy to have these 2 in his stable.

    I fully see Crawford as the superior between the two. Both could be top 5 p4pers for a while to come.

    Simply, I'm not sold in Loma yet

    Crawford has that more power and spitefulness, and he will need it more against spence & thurman.

    Lomachenko is a phenom, there is no skills like loma skills, and with this he will rule 135lbs for a long while.

    Crawford has more of a chance to reach the p4p number 1 with a win over thurman or spence, because they are both elite fighters, Lomachenko will have to beat Garcia to cement his p4p number 1 spot.

    Footwork - Loma
    Everything else - Crawford

    To me I think Loma and Crawford are neck and neck with each other as p4p best right now.

    Both are awesome fighters, easily 1 and 2 in P4P. Loma's my #1, and my current favorite fighter. Crawford's right up near the top, too, though.

    Your idea of a well rounded boxer is pathetic and you clearly DKSAB if you think either of those guys is in any way as well rounded as this guy:

    I’ll say it again, both Crawford and Loma are far ahead from everybody else skill wise. I see Crawford and Loma cleaning out their division, they’re both that good.

    GGG is past his best now. I guess I can add Inoue to the mix but he hasn’t gone the distant often for me to fully gauge his all round ability.

    You will never be sold on Loma if you aren't already
