    Let Teofimo fight Pac first for the right to challenge the P4P king for his crown.

    Already took the zero's of GRJ, Rigo, and Walters by the time he'd had 11 fights. Can you think of another fighter who has taken the zero's of 3 fighters of that quality by their 11th fight?

    No. Not unless you think we should add the ability to be able to travel through time to his vast array of talents too?

    to offer some perspective. wilfredo benitez won a world title at 17, against a 30yo cervantez, who had 86 pro fights and was the lineal champ with 9 defenses. benitez started boxing at age 7, was too young for the 72 olympics, and had turned pro by 13, so missed the 76 olympics. he went on to become champ in 3 separate divisions.
    vasyl lomachenko won a world title at age 25 against a 26yo russel jr, who had 24 pro fights and fought lomanchenko for a vacant title. lomachenko started boxing at age 4, amassed a record of 397 amateur fights and 8 pro fights before winning his first title. lomanchenko has so far won titles in 3 separate divisions.
    how much more awesome is one from the other, and why? lets get to the meat of things.

    It’s hilarious that at first everybody says “Amateurs don’t count for anything”, let’s see how he does in the completely different pro game. Now that he’s done everything and more in the pro game it’s “He already had 400 fights, of course he’s this good”. People hate then justify afterwards, you can never win with those people.

    You put him on a pedastal and claimed he is the best ever. You and the Lomasexuals are the ones that have set the bar so high. Don't you get it? Not only that you and the Lomasexuals are the ones that are turning all the other fanbases against you, and now you're suprised at the treatment Loma's getting.

    Mikey's performance against Spence was horrendous, no doubt about it. However, you said apparently anyone can go 12 rounds with Spence if they go in there to survive. Well, WTF happened to Linares, he got clipped by Cano and was flopping all over the place. Can he go 12 with Spence if he goes in there just to survive?

    You guys said he'd destroy Mayweather with ease, however Linares and Pedraza all of a sudden became stylistic nightmares for Loma. Mayweather can do most of what these two could do but better. Loma embarasses the likes of Duran or SRR, both of these guys can walk straight through everything he's got and flatten him with a single clean shot. Size and physicality will matter in this case.

    You already claim him to be the best of all time in the pros, take a look at the last two recent legends (Pac/May). Both of these two fought guys with much bigger weight disparities on top of pushing themselves way more than Loma has weight wise. Loma's top five wins wouldn't even be in neither of these guys top five wins. Yet, many people barely consider Pay/May to crack top 20 of all time based on resume.

    Some of us like Loma, if you would stop shoving how he is better than everyone else at everything these comparisons wouldn't have been made in the first place.

    I'd rate him number one today
    But all time he'd probably make a top 30 for skill but wouldn't make a top 200 for résumé and achievements

    Yeah, Salido. You remember him don't you ?? He's the guy with 14 losses on his record and who beat your boy, the greatest fighter of all time apparently.

    OK. You are clearly either a troll or an utter moron. Cya later and good luck.
