    Loma is clearly the most talented, punching well above his weight.

    It's between Teo and Haney for me. But if this question was asked a few years ago, then Loma would easily be on top.

    How is Haney the best at 135-140 when he fights at 160+ though?

    I've managed to find a rare photo of what Haney actually looks like at 135...

    Loma obviously. Granted he's old and past his best but in terms of accomplishments, number of world champions fought, punchers fought, and obviously talent too it's not close and obviously, duh, he's a blown up 126 pounder and tiny for 135 whereas the likes of Haney is the biggest weight bully in the sport, weighed at least 20lbs more than Loma with a huge reach advantage and he's literally never beaten anyone close to his size.

    Imagine Loma was fighting at 126 or 130 against opponents he weighed 2-3 divisions more than or 4 as it was against Haney and he had a big/huge reach advantage over everyone he fought. Well the reverse is him at 135.

    Now imagine Haney at SMW fighting opponents who weighed 2-3 divisions more than him with big/huge reach advantages over him

    Or Teofimo at LMW or MW against opponents who weighed 2 divisions more than him? How long do you think Teofimo would last against a two division heavier version of himself? He'd get knocked out :lol:

    Or against the Teofimo of 147 Super Boots. He gets smoked early

    This really isn't complicated

    I went with Haney. Mainly for his consistency.

    P4P I would still say Lomachenko; H2H I would say Lopez, Loma and Haney.

    The # 1 fighter between 135-140 is Teo Lopez (he has the accolades to back that up).

    The "best" fighter between 135-140 is Shakur.

    Shakur certainly has the talent, I’d like to see him beat Loma/Tank before declaring him the best fighter.

    i think skill wise it would be lomachenko. but loma is on the downside of his career. i have to go to teofimo as the next one. i selected lopez in the poll for this reason

    Shakur. Matis is my favorite to watch however. He's beating the hell out of these dudes. Not sure why Lopez is getting so much praise all of a sudden.

    I'll tell you right now that the Aussie bloke from Perth was robbed of a World Title shot last Friday. He beat a guy that should have been World Champion himself in Liam Wilson. Who would have beaten Navarette most likely if not for some bogus officiating.

    Boxing is the most dirty, corrupt sport on the Planet.

    Even one judge himself tried to **** Mayweather over vs Canelo.
