    Going by eye test he's top 10 Ive ever witnessed.

    But resume is what counts... have to see him against quality opposition. Its why I hate how his career is going.

    Young Floyd and RJJ to me were the last fighters with this much wow factor

    At the top! As far as the ATG list goes...........NAW! And it's not because his skills are inferior, it's just that he doesn't have enough fights under his belt yet.

    Pac wouldn't get a license after fighting spence. That beating enroute to a total one sided beat down would get him suspended and in concussion protocol officially ending his career

    Within his first ten fights taking the zeros of GRJ, Rigo, Walters? All guys who many picked to beat Lomachenko. And the manner that he did it, that's what really indicates how great a fighter is. You have a guy who we can see has a combination of offensive and defensive skills unmatched in boxing history. He moves like no one else in boxing history. He started as a pro relatively late at his full grown weight. He has moved up from there multiple times to set records beating champs and knocking them out. Guys who move up beyond their natural weight (Jones, Floyd etc.) stop getting knockouts, yet here we have a guy scoring one punch knockouts against bigger guys.
    He is clearly the best that there has ever been, when he retires that will be the general consensus. At the moment we're just cynical boxing fans, or boxing fans who don't really understand what we have here.

    So a guy whose best win is Salido, and a guy whose best win is Pedraza? That's the talent he has to beat?

    I have seen him box and he is masterful, but I have only seen him fight once and he lost that.
