    I'm going with what's recorded not your opinion. SRR was a tall welter, there is close to 5" between them

    As already stated several times, Lomachenko is a generational talent and I've rarely seen that degree of talent in nearly 40 years of watching boxing but, SRR is the consensus GOAT for a reason and all this 'buh, buh, buh, boxin has evolved cobblers just gives me the right hump. Back in SRR's day, the gloves were garbage compared to the pillows boxers wear nowadays, 15 round fights, shoddy refereeing and **** poor levels of safety and medical attention, sometimes fighting on a monthly or even weekly basis.

    Fighters back in SRR's day were teak tough gladiators who more often than not didn't have one ounce of quit in them and would go out on their shield.

    And to those who doubt SRR could hang with today's fighters, just look at what footage is available, Amir Khanesque hand speed, tough as old boots, wicked finisher, every punch in the book and ridiculous levels of stamina. Loma wouldn't stand a chance, nor should he.....

    Ok no worries I understand where you are coming from. I have know problem if you think Vasyl is better. His career ain't over yet and he may go on to be the best ever.

    However peak Robinson at 147lbs or probably higher vs peak Lomachenko which say is around 135 lbs or below. Who wins??

    Imagine if Lomachenko was 83-1-1 having beaten about 6 Hall of famers and avenging that one loss 4 times. He wasn't the same style as Lomachenko, but he was quicker, definitely hit harder, has a better chin and has quicker combinations. Loma has him beat in defence, but doesn't have Gavalin beat in Defence and he was much bigger and Robinson supposedly toyed with him. Robinson could ****ing box, and was a better fighter than Loma is now

    Robinson's win over Armstrong > Loma's whole pro Career today

    Robi was taller than his middleweight opponents and had a better reach than them let alone a tiny lightwweight he started at featherweight, there is no featherweight in history that would have beaten Ray, Manny was too small also.

    Fully agree with what you are saying but the Armstrong win is like Marciano's win over Joe Louis.
    Both guys a shadow of what they once were.

    From another perspective, Robinson ko's everyone Loma has faced to date in his career with ease.

    Loma doesn't even see the 2nd round.

    @dealt_with isn't even trolling which is sad, he probably spends all day watching Lomas footwork and masturbating violently screaming "HE'S CHANGED THE SPORT UHHHH"

    What a stupid framing of the argument. Congratulations on being that dumb. SRL would beat SRR as well.
