    are Floyd Mayweather, Vasily Lomachenko and Wilfred Benitez the three most skilled boxers of all time ? and will Loma by the end of his career be in a league of his own as the best ever?
    (SRL, Sweet Pea and Pep are just outside the top3)

    Let's pump the brakes after Campbell. Maybe Loma should move back down

    At 21 floyd was beating a superfeather atg in hernadez.
    At 17 benitez was beating a super lightweight atg in cervantes.

    Loma in a league of his own? he's more than ten years late, dude. He cant even dream with benitez's or floyd's league.

    Duran is more skilled technically than any of the three fighters mentioned.

    Based on what?

    If he’s an ATG at 130 it’s very thin.

    Loma seems to be quite a bit of smoke and mirrors. While highly skilled and very talented, it isn't equating in the ring. It's a lot of razzle dazzle, and people get caught up in his training methods, but also his angles and such in the ring. But the fact of the matter is, when he fights someone who can box a little, and isn't a flat footed buffoon he looks less than stellar. Lomachenko would have lost to Floyd, Mosely, Duran, The Castillo that fought Floyd, and probably a few other lightweights.

    Tommy Hearns KTFOs Lomachenko and Mayweather

    He'd also outbox both and did outbox Benitez

    He got shut out by him.

    He was a much better than El Radar but he it's very close for skill

    Would have loved to see a focused and disciplined Duran against Benitez. If you're going by technical skill then it's Duran. Who is the most sophisticated inside fighter ever.
