For the undisputed lightweight championship. Who wins? And if Lomachenko wins, where does he rank among the best lightweights of all time?
Lomachenko wouldn't rank top 10 at LWs. There's not the competition to keep up with a division that deep. He'd give most of them a run for there money. And he'd absolutely pummel Commey
Lomachenko should move down or up.And when there will be really good opponents in that division, come again here.Now it's just losing his prime time.
Lomachenko around the 8th-9th round. Commey is a warrior so I believe he either goes completely out or his ref/corner step in to save him from the pummeling.
So... the IBF ordered Lopez vs Comney two weeks ago....is Fimo just flatly turning that opportunity down? Is the kid just a train wreck mentally with his family and being exposed by the Jap? i'd like to see Comney drill Lopez (or vice versa) and really set this unification up nicely. Loma cements P4P#1 status after taking out the winner in impressive fashion.
I can't see Loma stopping Commey. If anyone gets stopped I think it's Loma. Comment is a massive, tough, and big punching LW that enters the ring as a JMW. I just can't aee a one-sided beat down.
I would be stunned if Commey stopped Lomachenko. He's big, hits reasonably hard-- he can dig, but let's not pretend he's the second coming of Roberto Duran--but he's also not especially fleet of hand or foot. He'll struggle to land anything upstairs all night against Lomachenko. On the other hand, I could see a cuts/frustration stoppage late for the Ukrainian.
Commey is a solid B level fighter who would get wrecked by Loma. Mannn i wanted to see Lopez take him on.
GRJ, who I think is the most physically talented of all the featherweight champions, is also a superb win. The kid (Loma) can only fight who is available and willing. Take Crawford, for example. Personally, I think the kid is terrific but his best win is against a faded Gamboa or the solid-if hardly spectacular Viktor Postol. I would submit that the Walters/Linares/Russell trifecta is superior to anything on Craw's CV.
Lomachenko won 8 rounds against Russel who, as I mentioned previously, is even money or better against anyone under 130lbs and was before he fought Loma. Have you forgotten, moreover, the battering Loma was giving GRJ in that final round? If you consider that fight close, that's your problem. As for Linares, if lightweight--where he was a champion and considered the top fighter at the weight not named Mikey Garcia--is not his best division, then what in the hell is? Similarly, in what parallel universe is fighting the consensus second best fighter at the weight class a cherry pick?? I noticed, not surprisingly, you neglected to include the injury Lomachenko suffered in the Linares fight. Abril? Please. Lomachenko would mop the floor with that kid, and we both know it. Thanks for pointing out that Gamboa (arguably Craw's best win) was--in your words-- dominating the first half of the fight. So an older, blown up lightweight, who has done absolutely nothing of note since that fight, was dominating Craw before the KO?? Kind of proves my point that Loma's resume is stronger, no??.The Salido fight could have easily been scored a draw in Loma's second professional fight. Funny how so many people forget that.
