I'm a fan of both guys, but it's clear as day that Lomachenko has better defense than Crawford. Every time I see Crawford fight, he gets hit clean with flush shots. Bud has better power, which makes it seem like he has better offense, but I think Lomachenko has better punch placement. Power - Crawford Offense/Punch Placement - Lomachenko Defense - Lomachenko Footwork - Lomachenko Ring IQ - Even Overall Skills - Lomachenko They're both great fighters and they have their own strengths. All categories are very close with the exception of Power and Defense. Crawford's power is undeniably better and Lomachenko's defense is better than Crawford's. If they're both the same size, I'd pick Lomachenko to edge Crawford out.
Loma is better p4p. If Crawford was a natural 130, he would look like a more skilled Walters. Loma would beat him. Crawford has size, strength and power combined with great boxing skills, makes his boxing skills look that much better. For example, take that power away so that he couldn’t stop gamboa and that fight would have gone to a close 12 rounds.
That doesn't really have anything to do with the topic. Loma also has a loss. Crawford also likes to fight midgets and old ass ones too. Those points are not on topic either.
Loma is just better all round. Crawford has more power, but I bet you that Loma ends his career with a higher KO ratio
Doesn't matter. That was more recklessness than anything else, not because of defense. Crawford gets hit more per fight than Lomanchenko.
And? You said my post wasn't on topic. I clearly demonstrated it was. Now you're tossing out a red herring.
