    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 definitely has the higher end skills.

    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.

    Crawford is excellent but Lomachenko is exceptional.

    The claim is Loma has superior defense despite the fact he was dropped by a C-level opponent.

    And Crawford got wobbly from an old ass and faded midget.

    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.
