    Camacho was miles past his best for these fights. He regressed extremely early, as early as 86 actually. Chavez himself had declined more than Whitaker at their time of battle.

    The only boxer I've ever seen who has footwork skill on par with Lomachenko is probably Mayweather Jr.

    Both Ali and Leonard has amazing talent in footwork too, but they were from old generation which probably has different training method, on-ring strategy, etc. from modern times.

    Loma's footwork, especially when he is circling his opponent and creating specific angle, is just ingenius, extraordinary and revolutionary.

    Obviously you haven't watched a lot of boxing if you think what he he does is ingenious , extraordinary, and revolutionary. He does nothing that hasn't been done before by great fighters over the long history of boxing. All the hyperbole for Lomo won't change that. In my opinion its a disservice to 100's of fighters over the years who were just as capable and even more so. And those fighters from the past did it for a lot longer than that amazing 13 pro fights with a loss already career of Lomo. And did it against far superior competition. Stop the madness please.....

    Actually it's a compliment to all these Atg's from yesteryear that they're being compared to LomaGODko

    How do you feel about Arum saying today that Crawford is better than Ray Leonard was at 147?

    I have seen enough boxing to say what I want to say here. You are just embarassed to admit that Loma is a special talent and I am entitled to my opinion. I don't need to make this into argument.

    I wish Lomachenko would fight a tough and aggressive top Mexican fighter to see if his fight with Salido was a fluke or that style is his kryptonite. Unanswered questions.

    I understand having an '0' is important but he was on a learning curve then. I realise that he had 400 amatuer fights but the pros are different and Salido got him in his 2nd pro fight. I imagine Loma had never, ever fought someone so dirty before. It needed 50 low blows and a conspiring referee to turn a total blind eye to those fouls for Salido to win. Loma is a seasoned pro now and a 3 weight champion who hasn't ducked anyone but has been ducked after only 15 pro bouts or so. He might not be an ATG now, but he may be on the way.

    That 0 means nothing if you fight good people there's always a chance you'll lose and there isn't any conspiracy there was no up side in salido wining he was there as a sacrifice

    Loma does have excellent footwork, but a lot of people confuse foot speed and flash with footwork which just simply is not the case. Crawford, GGG, Loma, Usyk currently have the best footwork in boxing. Prime Hearns had very underrated footwork but nobody had more underrated footwork than prime Mike Tyson.

    Which Mexican fighter could beat Loma from 135 down? Which Mexicans are rated in the P4P top ten? Garcia is too big to fight Loma isn`t he?

    I'm not sure, that's why I want to see him against one such as Miguel Berchelt, its a terrible shame he did not fight him when they were both champs at SFW, and then we also have the Mikey Garcia tragedy.
