Better resume Inoue or Loma

While multi-talented and somewhat unfortunate there is an unhealthy trend - as there is with Golovkin - to pardon the shortcomings in Lomachenko's career. No amount of whinging over turning pro late, Salido's low blows, or Haney's gross rehydrating can erase the fact he made poor tactical decisions in key fights. Starting too late against Lopez and letting that last round go against Haney has complicated his place in history. He later said something to effect of knowing he had to do more, to put it beyond doubt, but didn't. This is the difference between skill and ring IQ.

Inoue's dominance has the problem of making his opponents look worse than they are. You've got a good bunch of guys there with different styles from Narvaez, to Donaire, to Fulton, and Nery. He may, once he goes to 126, encounter similar problems that Loma did at 135, though I can't - even if it comes in a fight in which he's goes onto lose - see him making silly decisions. His biggest flaw right now is cockiness. The harder the opponents the more 'locked in' he'll be.

I appreciate Loma is the smaller guy at 135 but you only get so many brownie points. If Inoue's not ahead of him already he's damn near shoulder-to-shoulder.

 

Rigo beat Donaire and Walters ktfo Donaire.Loma No machenko Rigo and Walters.

 

Best loma's name is a 37 year old Rigo, who was forced to go up 2 whole weights in order to get the fight. 2 freaking whole weights, at 37yo.

Comparing Loma with Inoue is beyond stupid. Inoue is in his own league right now, I have a really hard time remembering last time I saw something similar, whereas Loma is... a good fighter.

 

No way you can compare them. In

how old was rigo?

 

Inoue vs Loma is comparing what you think someone can do vs what they’ve actually done. Also Inoue gets a lot of hate for not fighting in the US but people need to understand boxing is a world level sport not an American one.

 

36 ? Which is the age of Inoue's best win in Donaire who had already lost numerous times ? Also Rigondeuax was undefeated and P4P top 10 ?

So since Inoue hasn't even beaten a top 10 P4P fighter it seems baffling to leave Rigondeuax off of Lomachenko's best win column.

 

You guys need to stop making excuses for Loma's bad career decisions. He started late, who made that choice? He's fighting at weight way above his natural Weight. Who made that choice? He takes on his biggest, most dangerous opponent with a bad arm. Who made that choice? I see a trend with Loma. As great as he is, and he is just that, he makes stupid career choices.

 

Inoue is no hype job.His body of work is no where close to Loma qty of oppenent.

 

When did Inoue fight Emanuel Navarrete?

 

Loma is exactly why the mythical “eye test” is flawed. He looks like the greatest fighter of all time but his record, whilst excellent is not even close to ATG status, he's more deserving of modern great status but falls just short of a few others.

He’s a wonderful fighter, of this there is no question but his biggest fans continue to ask us to all imagine what he could have done under different circumstances rather than what he has actually done in real life.

I love him but the flaws in his career (and resume) are as clear as day.

Inoue on the other hand just doesn’t have the same big question marks over him in my opinion.

 

Drop the hammer, Serge.
