    Lomachenko is highly skilled for sure, but his effectiveness is largely due in part to speed and his awkwardness. Inoue relies almost solely on technique and he's peerless there.

    Lomachenko = special effects

    Inoue = the special effect

    His effectiveness is largely due to his otherworldly and unparalleled skill level. The way he blends attack and defence is absolutely sublime and technically beautiful. He can attack you and immediately defend against a counter attack whether in the pocket or at middle distance seamlessly. Inoue is very technically skilled too but his Jesus walking on water moments are few and far between compared to Loma's.

    Wallin was a lot better than people thought and his record suggested.

    Inoue is Ring Jesus except he doesn't heal. See how he touches people gently and they fall in crippling pain.

    Donaire.
    Even at this current age at 118 there's only one man that beats him, and even at 122 he is able beat all of them on a good day imo.

    Pretty much all of the top EE fighters are denigrated to some degree where if they were American they would be slathered upon.

    Evander Holyfield! I rate him the #3 Heavyweight of all-time, with #4 some distance away. I'm in the process of updating my all-time Heavyweight ratings right now (I haven't done that in quite a while), but Holyfield's not moving, and neither are my top 2...

    Another vote for Holyfield here. One of the most underrated heavyweight ATG’s in my book.

    Yeah, bunch with these are silently hated because boxing fans are tribal and nationalistic. They needs proof of masculinity for nation in the image of prize fighter.

    While bunch with these EE boxers does have different styles and approach, a lot of them had picked western training to add to their skill set and ofc still they are not from proper countries for a lot of boxing fans.

    Big luck that pro boxing is damn very small niche sport, this is reality and only combat sport fans are thinking that they are something damn important. They are not if compare with other kind of sport they are very small niche be this germany, U.K or U.S they are just SMALL niche.

    Lomachenko.

    Far more intelligent and skilled fighter than anyone currently (more skilled than Usyk by a margin imo) . Only one who comes close atm is Inoue and Usyk. He actually takes a risk and fights at or above his weight class unlike the many who gain hype from weight bullying and cherrypicking their entire career. And he fights away from home something most American fighters cannot do because they are American " champions" and not world champions.

    The only way you beat Loma is by : weight bullying and/or stacking judges in the opponents favour

    mikey garcia. man has only ever been troubled by one other fighter in 5 divisions and people act like its nothing, cause broner also calls himself a 4 weight champion. like someone ever troubled mikey like they did broner.
    he doesnt do anything special, they say. yeah, anyone can just run across divisions untouched, they just choose to focus on one.
    a good example, everyone here picking loma, who mikey would beat the soul out of.
