    How come Insecure, jealous boxers can't appreciate real skill but Legends like Roy Jones can.

    Spence needs a bra for his nipples.

    Well in Spences defence he says in the same sentence that Loma is a great fighter.... thats pretty high praise... he just adds he doesnt see anything too too special.

    Of course it has nothing to do with Lomachenko being an EE.

    Spence just calling it like he sees it. He ain't about to bow down to Loma. Loma ain't raising no hell.

    It sounds like Spence is shook.

    Spence isn't exactly an intellectual and would probably only be a student of his own division.

    I'm surprised to hear Spence say this. I like Spence a lot. He shouldn't be drawn into making comments like this. It is beneath him. Loma is an exceptional fighter. A fighter like Loma comes along once a decade and that is saying a lot. Until someone puts it on Loma I think he is the best fighter P4P today.

    What is obvious to most people is Loma is an exceptional boxer. And to be honest so is Spence. Spence's thoughts on Loma are fine.. that is his opinion, given when asked. We don't know how much he has studied Loma's performances to arrive at that opinion.

    Loma’s skills are the best out there today. I don’t see how anyone doesn’t have him the current P4P #1.

    I think Spence is a great fighter. But there are levels in this sport and he’s not on Loma’s. So if nothing is special about Lomachenko, there is nothing remotely noteworthy about Spence.

    Let's be real.. We all know black American fighter's don't like giving props to white Euros. I may be generalizing a bit but that's my experience of it. Not all but mostly.. This is nothing new.

    Loma will be a 3 weight champion (Ring too) next month whereas Spence will be lucky to get 3 likes on Facebook in 2018..
