    396 amateur wins 1 loss
    14 wins 1 loss as pro
    Three weight world champ
    Multiple gold medals

    Is he close to reaching mayweather level?
    Will he ever? Or has he already surpasses him

    Lomachenko's defense isn't as good as Floyd's, but he's insanely slick giving how much he risks as an all action fighter. So he's more skilled than Floyd given that his defense is very good, but his offense is better than Floyd's.

    What hes done in the small amount of fights he has has is incredible

    Floyd did beat 23 belt holders and win belts in 6 or so divisions. I'd say loma has some way to go but not saying he cant get to that level

    Off the eye test I'd say ability and skill he is in that league. I mean wiping Russell and rigo are not easy tasks

    I love Lomo but he has a way to go to be as accomplished as Floyd.

    135 is becoming one of the best divisions so time will tell if he will come close to Mayweather.

    No, actually, you're the one doing that if you're hyper-focusing exclusively on the last decade of Mayweather's career.

    He's like a slightly squarer standing iteration of young Floyd.

    He'd need a lot more championship fights under his belt. Too inactive.

    BS. I suppose he should line up the judahs, gattis, bertos, etc. to pad his record like Floyd did.
