    Mosley would have knocked Lomachenko head off his shoulders, and mosley is not an ATG

    Lomachenko is a good fighter but people are so carried away with him it's ridiculous. Luke Campbell is just an ok fighter and he was very competetive with a "prime ATG" today.

    That's like Nathan Cleverly giving prime Roy Jones life and death it hustle wouldn't happen.

    What Loma is doing is special. He is the goat amateur and a back to back gold medal winner. Chances are the best Loma may be behind him but he’s so good he’s fighting well above his optimal division and winning - beating much larger fighters now.
    Anyone with two eyes can see he’s special. They can also see he’s small. He’s already fully developed so this weight jumping is not a plus for him. Just enjoy the skills while they’re on display.

    Hey that's up for debate. I never said loma is atg

    I said hes that good

    That fighters need to have a size advantage just to give him a competitive fight and still lose

    And that davis need to age him out a bit to have a chance

    ^ That is all I said about loma

    And you just added one more

    Posters need to bring up another fighters name from another generation because loma is too good for this generation

    1. Lomachenko
    2. Canelo
    3. GGG
    4. Crawford
    5. Usyk

    Although Golovkin should be 2-0 up over Canelo.

    Mosley was a beast at 135 but he wasn’t untouchable and Lomo would be far and away his best opponent at 135 he’s of fought.

    It’s a true 50/50 fight.

    When you look back Luke Campbell the best amateur ever in this country and a future world champion did really well last just to survive and maybe nick one round and also even though I didn’t really see it hurt loma . But 3 times that fight Campbell was lucky to survive . Round 5 the bell saved him . Round 11 I think if you notice loma actually stops his attack and allows them the round to finish and final round Campbell wrestles him to get he ground . This was a levels fight with loma being levels above Luke . I don’t how loma gets beat or if he even does but I agree size could do him or if inoue can get up to him maybe and it’s a massive maybe that could be the one. We are witnessing one of the top 3 all time greats here and we should be applauding this

    Loma was already great before he beat the average Campbell. 15 fights 3 world weight divisions and probably by his 16 th fight undisputed lightweight champion isn’t just good it’s greatness .

    Who would you say they were?
    For me it's Mosley, Mayweather and Pacquiao

    I'd say he loses all of them, Mosley and Pacquiao by stoppage, but puts a good account of himself in all of them

    =1. Canelchenko - both ruled two divisions and made title in another, so they must be viewed equal.


    2. Crawford is the obvious next choice.

    3. Usyk - complete unification

    4. Inuoe

    5. Estrada
