    The fact that you cite Loma losing to Haney shows your BBC bias which is weird for a man. That fight was at worst a draw or a narrow win for Loma...who was about 20 lbs lighter on fightnight

    Loma's best victory is a 40 yo man who was dragged 2 whole weights up. Thank you for reminding us all about it. Another reason to answer: no.

    Broner has been a champion in 3 weights too.

    You can paste as many youtube videos as you want to. It doesnt change that Loma only won to haney in your dreams.

    No. Usyk is very clear number 1.

    You sit hairs between Crawford and Inoue.

    After that it's a bit of a free for all, but the winner of Bivol/Beterbiev is very clear number 4.

    If Loma was that great, he would out school him like Tank did. It was a competitive fight. I didn't see any Loma greatness.

    Loma is not that good. What's so difficult with admitting it? Even Lopez beat him.

    So? Fury and AJ was much heavier than Usyk, but Usyk clowned them.

    It might put him in the top 3, depending on what Crawford, Inoue and Usyk do in the meantime.

    I like Loma but if you count amateur records the atg list would include very few Americans and no Mexicans. This is the pros, Rigo was way too small, linares was already going down hill and GRJ was never going to be great. His resume is respected but people need to stop over rating him. There are active boxers with a better resume. Canelo and Inuoe are at the top and theres guys like Beterviev, Bivol, Crawford, and usyk. Won’t even mention Tank and Teofimo who are in his weight class or around it and have good or better wins than him. Great fighter, really rooted for him but the Haney fight showed me he doesn’t have what it takes to be an ATG at the pros.

    I don't think there's any doubt at all that p4p, Usyk has well and truly eclipsed Loma as a pro. Skill wise, I still like Loma but all the intangibles, winning in opponents backyards, changing momentum in fights, heart and courage, Usyk has it all. The likes of which hardly ever seen before, if at all!

    Loma is clearly an ATG, it's just where you rank him, amongst the ATG'S. Winning a title in his third fight as a pro, 3 titles at 3 weights after around 10 fights, that's definitely ATG status.
