And Pacquiao. Because he literally KOs everyone on this list. And because it would be an incredible spectacle until the bell rings and Pacquiao smokes Lomachenko. By far the best choice for Lomachenko in terms of legacy and money.
I remember you making a thread saying that Lomachenko was on roids on the basis of destroying Crolla and Lomachenko's distended belly.
What was actually worse than that ridiculous statement was that Lomachenko said that he needed a year, then said it would need to be at a catchweight, then said it would have to be at 135, and then be said no fight altogether. Clear duck by Lomachenko. He fears no one but Pac.
I never made a thread about it, but I am dead certain he never touched any before the Crolla fight or after it. He was noticeably different. I'm a huge Lomachenko fan, but I call it like I see it and if it turns out he was a PED cheat, he can kick rocks. Most of the fighters that come up through EE, Russia, Central Asia, and Africa I truly believe are the cleanest fighters in the sport. Even the top amateurs don't get big money backing them, even if they sign with a top promoter. You gotta have deep pocket backing to roid out. Pacquaio is a strange case in that he came from nothing, tore it up amd made a splash at smallest weights, got a fan base and financial backing, then he storms through 8 weight classes KO'ing world champions to the point they are on oxygen. I am a huge Andre Ward fan. I think he was clean his whole career, except for Kovalev II. I'm dead certain he was juiced to the gills for that. I highly doubt Loma has ever juiced, not even to come back from injury. He does have enough financial backing to get away with it to an extent, but it goes against his whole thought process. He wants to face the greatest tests, to test himself as much and as hard as possible. He didn't have a distended stomach in that fight, but it was one of the first times I have ever seen him plant, dig in, pivot, explode with straight venom.
You are correct. You didn't make a thread about it, but you explicitly said that you thought Lomachenko was on PEDs. Again, you cited the heavy and concussive blows to Crolla. Are you stoned, bro? The Russian government was GIVING drugs to Russian athletes and now Russia is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency from competing in any major sporting events for four years. Coming from nothing literally has nothing to do w/ anything. Most boxers come up dirt poor and box as a means to make a living. Pacquiao has hurt and dropped every single opponent in 5 fights in which he ws VADA-tested. In the Mayweather fight, under Floyd's drug testing, he stunned Floyd twice. Floyd said that that was the hardest he'd ever been punched. You seem to really have it out for Pacquiao. How about some consistency from you? Agreed. Nope. You said it. You thought Lomachenko was doping.
Lopez but nobody will give credit to Loma for the win while Lopez instantly becomes a mega star if he wins.
Ok whatever I thought he was doping for the Crolla fight, he still didnt dope enough to destroy 8 weight classes and totally transform as a.boxer, nor did his head size grow 10 sizes. I don't give a **** about doping allegations.in the amateurs. Bro, if you want to.consistently get away with doping/murder/whatever in the pros, you need a big promoter and a lot of financial backing, or somehow be Al Haymon's long lost brother. Except ig you are from that part of the world, just to get to that level you are gonna have to ESPN Top 10 dudes left and right for years, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake. Even then, the majority of them are seemingly disinterested in them a choose not to anyways.
