This guy is trolling, don’t take him seriously. His comparison was Usyk-Joshua and Lomachenko-Salido originally. That’s 221-240lb fight night, vs 135-147lb fight night. Both the same fight weight difference (x 1.08). Joshua better champion than Salido, but Usyk was a well established pro, while Salido was Lomachenko’s second fight. Joshua clean boxing, Salido nuff said.
Usyk more skilled and as Pimp said above, less flaws. I dont think he would ever put in the sort of performance we saw from Lomo against Teofimo or Salido.
Absolutely. I think he's the best since Floyd hung em up and if he'd turned pro years earlier he might have had career achievements approaching or even rivalling Pacman.
To be fair to Lomachenko the experienced tough pro Salido, was a bit too much for Loma in only his 2nd pro fight. And also let's not forget Salido got away with like 100 low blows, and really should of been DQed. And when Salido got hurt in the last round, the referee allowed Salido to clinch like crazy. The referee was definitely on Salido's side, but it was a good learning experience for Loma, as if to say "Welcome to the pro game".
Lomachenko fought Salido in his 2nd pro fight at 25, Usyk didnt fight for a belt until he was 29 and had 50 rounds of pro experience. Salido was still a multiple time world champ and at the very least a B level fighter, he missed weight on purpose and showed up in great shape rehydrating all the way up to 147. It's never been a talking point that Loma has ever struggled to make 126, 130 or 135 unlike Usyk who reportedly was struggling to make CW his last few fights. Lomachenko also has a very narrow frame while Usyks frame is more of someone who is a full size HW. Loma is much more skilled than Usyk and Usyk fighting AJ was basically Loma vs Nakatani or Commey
Loma is smaller and smaller fighters look faster and often throw more punches, have better footwork. Loma being a betting favourite lost to 2 mediocre fighters while Usyk convincingly beat each and every opponent he's faced (most of the time in his opponent's home) including the Joshua fight when almost everyone thought he was too small/weak to do so. Usyk gets hit less often than Loma and more precise and effective with his output. At the beginning of their careers Loma was hyped and viewed by many as an ATG while nobody cared about Usyk. Now I believe Usyk goes down as a better fighter. But both are exceptional
They may be comparably offensively, but defensively Usyk is far better. Loma hasn't done nearly enough to prove himself Uysks level IMO. Hasn't even avenged the Lopez loss.
Lopez didn't want to rematch him. Not saying Lomachenko definitely would've but it wasn't Lomas fault.
I never knew but the thing is... Usyk doesn't need rematches despite having a much better record than Lomachenko. Strange isn't it. It was Joshua who wants his and he's getting knocked out
Are you purposefully missing the point or did your brain take the weekend hike? Usyk beat BOTH much bigger stronger AND difficult style AND highly skilled fighters ON THE ROAD whereas Top Rank headliner sLomo keep losing to old and young, small and large which should tell you something about the question posed in the title. Putting aside the many teenage pro world champions your statement is factually incorrect as he had 6 WSB professional-rule fights not being counted, and with opposition like Salimov, I'm JUST BARELY giving Top Rank a pass for BUYING him a ranking fight opportunity on his official debut and a world title fight HE DID NOT DESERVE when others like Whyte take 10+ years to EARN so no, it was not Loma's 2nd fight OR if it was it was, it was entirely undeserved and still LOST to a crippled old veteran before Top Rank buying the next world title fight. All that after 400-1 plastic surgery record and the 6 pro WSB fights and that Salidaddio embarrassment even with judges on the Top Rank payroll. Yeah... Lopez loss ain't looking good either, does it?
The fact that he got beat and he's easy enough to get hit is enough for me. He has skills, but he's not as good as Usyk. His offensive skills may be comparable, but his defensive abilities and ring IQ are not on Usyk's level.
