    obviously lomos footwork is way better, but they both like to use throw away punches to set up a bigger attack. also did you enjoy watching calzaghe?

    There's similarities, but Loma is more technical and accurate.

    No similarities what so ever. Loma totally on different level than the slapper.

    Not really. I think Calzaghe shares more similarities with Usyk than Lomachenko and I can't really say who I think Lomachenko can be most accurately compared with; obviously there are things he does which others have done before him but he does them better for the most part whilst the sheer variety of skills he possesses and the way he uses them sort of makes him one of a kind.

    nah

    calzaghe seemed more of a workman type of fighter who overwhelmed with volume

    lomachenko is more precision.

    You mean like he beats up washed up old men and his fanbase goes crazy or the way he gets gift knockouts from the ref when he can't punch his way out of a paper bag?
