    Don't pretend Loma is up there, the guy will be moving up to 135 to avoid Davis when he beats Pedraza on Saturday.

    nah a lot of casuals get sucked into the hype machine, roman gonzalez is nowhere near p4p the best, and heck look at how poor his defense is, he actually lost to cuadras and might again, p4p means who has the skills and style to negate anyone in any weight, and roman gonzalez one dimensional overwhelming style just doesn't cut it, he'd be easily outboxed by any quality slick boxer

    Yeah, if you look at the Cuadras fight, Roman actually blocked and deflected with his guard 90% of what was coming at him. That's good defense. He didn't bob and weave, shoulder roll, duck and slip, but his guard and head movement were on point. He's not a great defensive fighter like Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Pep, Whitaker, or Benitez who used to use their superior reflexes to avoid punches. He's more like Winky Wright who knew how to effectively use a guard.

    He's great at blocking and parrying and his accuracy returning fire is devastating. Cuadras would throw eye catching flurries of like six punches at him and he'd catch them all on the shoulders gloves and elbows. People who don't know what they are seeing think that all of those punches landed. That's why they think Cuadras won. That and the state of the fighter's faces at the end of the fight contributed to this silly rumor. I can also see people being confused about what happened based on Cuadras picking up the final rounds and finishing stronger, but to do that they'd have to forget about Roman sweeping the majority of the early rounds.

    I agree with you. Roman Gonzalez is undefeated 46-0 and a champ in his fourth weight class. The only two active guys out there who've accomplished similar things are Pacquiao and Donaire but they've been on the slide for years. Lomachenko is all shiny and new, but he's still only getting started in his second weight class. If he gets another ten title defenses and moves up to junior welterweight fighting the likes of Mikey Garcia and Terence Crawford then hail to the king, but it's a little early for that and Roman is proven. We also might want to throw Naoya Inoue in there who's only 23 but already has 7 title fights and is a two weight champ.

    See my Platinum P4P list.

    It's the most informed and accurate one on the site and it of course lists WBO/WBA/IBF unified LHW champion, Andre Ward, as the sport's #1 P4P boxer.

    How's that first beer working out for you? One dimensional? You don't deserve to even be talking about him man. You literally have no clue what you're talking about. I have to assume you're a troll. The alternative is too scary to ponder.

    your clearly a massive fan, but it's the truth, and anyone who knows boxing knows it! even big youtube channels who cover boxing disagree with you! I have to assume your a troll by reacting like that! you don't look like roman after a fight and be called p4p the best, that's a very scary thing to ponder!

    Mayweather was no where near TBE or P4P #1. He's been exposed as a CHEAT!!!!!! Cheats are not eligible.

    I bet you're have trouble finding any official p4p list that doesn't have him minimum top 3. I guess they don't know boxing right? Truth is you're threatened by him on behalf of whoever you do rate. If you truly believe what you're saying then I feel for you. You're missing out on real talent. Take it easy.

    did you watch that video! I feel sorry for the casuals like you who get trapped in the hype, but feel worse for boxing it has fans like you, you don't look like roman gonzalez after his fight and be p4p! its who has the style to beat anyone, he's also fighting guys regularly with 8 losses and more, in one of the weakest divisions in boxing! the win and loss ratio will tell u that

    Lomachenko IMO is the best but Roman Gonzalez, already an ATG, is campaigning in his 4th weight class with his particular style which makes it all the more harder, is a worthy P4P no.1.
    If Roman beats Inoue, Estrada 2, Cuadras 2 and Sor Rungvisai then there's literally nothing Lomachenko can do to top that.

    Good post but people will still find a reason to belittle the man. Look at the guy a few posts up. It's the way some boxing fans are nowadays. If SR Robinson was fighting, there would be an avalanche of threads picking him apart. But yeah, Lomachenko looks special. Love watching him doing his thing. Can't wait to see where his career takes him.
