    Loma is far more skilled than Usyk. Ali and Ray had very differnt styles, Ali threw more punches on average and slipped shots, Ray only slipped shots in certain fights, Ali was better at slipping the right hand than Ray Ali`s movement was designed around evading the right hand, Ray used to come forward more than Ali.

    I always thought that Eubank Jnr was a poor mans Anthony Mundine in terms of style.

    Usyk is a 210/220 pound man and has never lost by way of complacency like Loma or cried about a close decision, Usyk would take any loss as a man. Usyk is the true P4P #1 next to Fury. Never chased that status like dumb useless fighters like Loma, Canelo or Crawford. Usyk is just as skilled, no man that weight does what Usyk does. Plenty of little men can do that Loma pitter patter nonsense. Sure he positions himself to a T for a full fight congrats gold medal you're champion level boxer.

    It's funny how the real P4P best (although the concept is trash) are never the ones mentioned at that time.

    If Loma was so good and was Mr Matrix hotshot he would have won early rounds off Haney which he dropped by letting Haney work his body for free, similiar but not quite as bad as his Lopez mess of a performance which is why that division has fallen apart over the last few years. Belts handed around and they've landed in a protected bums hands who they will protect to high hell and try to market even though he's not marketable, Mr.Haney no charisma, boring, ugly, and did I mention boring?

    Disagree. I love Loma, but being flashier doesn't mean he's more skilled than Usyk.

    Orlando just did flashy moves with his feet, Loma lands far more shots and is a far better fighter than Canizales was.
