    Two ATG at 128 catchweight?

    Who do you have as winner??

    Both are defensive wizards, with unmatched footwork.

    Have to give an edge in power to Loma

    Pep has a more proven track record over 220 win career

    Lomachenko's angles would be the big difference and Pep had no power.....................Pep was fantastic boxer no doubt, but Lomachenko is purely unique................

    This would be a fantastic match-up. Very difficult to predict. I thought Loma would be too much for Rigo because of size, but in the end his footwork was too good.

    Until you put them in the ring together it's impossible to know for sure. Pep is very defensive and doesn't have the KO power to end the fight. The way Loma dances, with his stamina and ring IQ it's hard to see who in history would be able to beat him. Maybe Benny Leonard?

    At this point you'd have to say Pep on resume. But Lomachenko's performance vs Rigo was some of the finest boxing I've seen. How many people here have actually seen Pep fighting?

    Willie Pep, Loma shouldn't be mentioned with him at this point
