Vasiliy Lomachenko Vs. Pernell Whitaker @ Lightweight — Who Wins?!

Whitaker is a level above. Maybe two.

He wins wide.

 

No he was not even level above.
However yeah, prime Whittaker vs today's Loma not his younger version, I maybe more picked Whitaker to win this.

 

Isn't current Loma version a bit too slow to easily fight with him?

 

Loma most mobile version I think was in his second Oly games.

 

Whitaker could turn guys easily. Not an easy prediction but put some respect on Pernell's NAME!

 

I would favor Whitaker. So far he has fought several ATGs and won. Loma hasn't fought anyone of note and the highest level fighter he fought was Salido. The fight was all sorts of dirty, but so was the Whitaker vs Chavez fight and I thought Whitaker won that fight whereas Salido is a poor mans Chavez down by several levels.

 

You rate Salido that had been finished by noname even in Mexico higher than Olympic champion Cambpell that had better reach than Loma?
Salido that was heavier than Loma? Beautiful, I never agreed that my guy in this weight class fought heavier guy than my guy.

 

Yes! Salido has fought more high profiles names and won or lost close fights against them.

Whitaker by UD. I don't think Lomachenko would do well H2H with many ATG lightweights he honestly doesn't belong in that division.

 

It does not matters, if I had a guy that is more than 10 lbs lighter than opponent in the ring for this weight class, I did not advised it.
Regards to Salido boxing, Loma does not looks typical eastern euro club level fighter, with this low level Salido get the same medicine and even more + ICU. Internet did not helped for him.
