Loma is an ATG no doubt, BUT to me more on the levels of JMM/MAB/Morales then Pac/Floyd...

    Loma is not even close to his downhill and some people already can't wait to predict his status in the history of boxing.

    Loma is not an ATG.

    Rigo? That win means absolutely nothing. A nearly 40 year old inactive boxer moving up 2 weight classes for a last payday. GRJ was a good win, but not even close to a Barrera, Morales, or Marquez. If GRJ starts cleaning divisions out, we can talk.

    I've seen better fighters / combatants from other parts of the Universe than any that Earth has produced, especially produced from boxing. However, if we're strictly talking about the best combatants from boxing, Lomachenko is UNDOUBTEDLY and INDISPUTABLY the most skilled boxer ever. Although that doesn't really say much, because boxers in general are some of the most unrefined fighters in all of existence and Lomachenko just happens to be more refined than any from his race in his particular field (boxing).

    Lomachenko's feints, punch variation in terms of speed, power and angles, his agility, his mobility, his ability to multi-task when performing multiple techniques / moves simulatenously in the most coordinated and controlled manner, his ability to transition from offense to defense and vice versa, his active guard and etc. These are all far far far better than anyone else's from the history of boxing. Lomachenko is undoubtedly a prodigy beyond anything Earth has ever produced in the sport of boxing. Simply because he has far more techniques / moves than anybody else from boxing out of the human race, and is able to use them all together simultaneously and automatically (without conscious thought or effort).

    Mere mortal humans should look at Lomachenko to learn what the most advanced form of fighting is, if they want to learn how to fight from a boxer from their own race.

    I put JMM on the level of Pac and Floyd. Has to be Top 3 greatest counterpuncher of all time.

    :lol:

    And yet "Loma is ducking Rigo" and "Rigo will school Loma" is what we heard before the fight.

    Loma has 5-7 more years of building a legendary resume to make him an ATG, yet people want to see him fail.

    There's probably thousands of Loma voodoo dolls around stuck with pins in the hope that he crashes and burns. Too late. He already did more in his first dozen fights or so than most guys do in their careers.

    Not to mention he already sealed the best amateur boxer ever argument. That in itself bothers the **** out of them :)

    So because a couple of idiots said that Loma gets credit for beating an inactive nearly 40 year old boxer moving up 2 weight classes? So if everyone said Floyd was ducking Tenshin Nasukawa, he deserves credit for beating him huh.

    Loma is fighting way out of his own natural class right now. * shrug * Doesnt seem to bother him. Rigo was a superlative boxer who had never been beaten before. He was p4p rated. He should have at least been a stiff challenge, but he got blown away like a leaf.

    People aren't that stupid.
