    You cant be taken seriously. Oscar didn't look shot in that fight he had speed he had his jab he made a good account of himself. He was outclassed. Was he passed his best yes but if you say he was shot then you have an agenda and no credibility. Pbf fought oscar on his terms at 154 his worst weight. Oscar was shot when he fought pac the difference between that oscar and the one who fought pbf is night and day.

    First of all, take away the amateur accolades.............this is the pros.

    His skill level is close, Loma is heads and tails the highest level boxer currently active, as far as his level of greatness, he won't approach Floyd's level.

    Beating 10 HOF'ers, beating a handful more lineal champs, and beating a handful more #1 ranked fighters.

    You think Lomachenko is more skilled than Terrence?

    I always said loma turning down pac was a horrible decision and a shot at a legacy fight. He could have also raised his media profile and got a career high payday as well. Dumb move by loma.

    Lomachenko is awesome, no doubt. Floyd Mayweather is like Dane Bowers, he's on another level.

    Be fair to look at all the stats when it is all said and done.

    Bud has the switch-hitting versatility and probably the keener spidey-senses when he gets an opponent hurt and subsequent finishing instincts...but otherwise I'd say Hi-Tek edges him across the board (just as PBF in turn edges him).

    Not that dumb considering that the most likely outcome is Pac by KO or horrific sustained beating.

    Ex super feather Floyd was toying with the rehydrated 170lb Berto, 2 time welter champ, nearing 40 years old.

    loma is mucking about with never been champion Luke Campbell and ant crolla with not much time left at all

    no comparison

    He might well be as good as Floyd, but I don't know if he will have the time to prove it. His resume is still miles from Floyd's.
