    Mikey has a great jab arguably the best one in boxing he has good balance and footwork and can cut off the ring. He has a good ring IQ and can make adjustments he's naturally bigger than Loma and has more power to. He has the best chance of anyone 135 and down.

    Agree with you...Naturally bigger guy with longer range keeping it on the outside in a boring fight imo. Try pressuring him and your f.ucked. For me the most naturally gifted fighter ive ever seen..Totally different level to anything before him

    Gamboa gave Crawford a good fight and beat the guy badly who took Lomachenko's cherry. Gamboa is probably as physically gifted as Lomachenko and if they had fought while Gamboa was active, it would have been a great fight. Nothing personal but you come across to me as just a cheerleader and not a serious boxing fan.

    If he does what he said he's going to do, ala prioritizing defense like EVERY fighter should, no one can beat him under 135.

    i think a version of Maidana mixed with some Salido would be the best chance next to a Mikey Garcia approach

    People at 135 have a much bigger chance. I get the impression Loma is to 135 what Roman Gonzalez is to 115. Small, less impact.

    Drop him into the mix at 122 in 1999. Alternatively, fight Bud or Mikey.

    Forgot about Gamboa. This is also a good possibility, imo.

    To beat Loma you need to have good fundamentals, have a high boxing IQ, and create works of art in the ring.

    It's the only way, they have to be able to control with the jab, and step in range to pop,
    and out of range of any of his (Loma's) incoming. No one else has anywhere near a
    chance at midrange with Lomachenko.

    One man that would be hard to beat for anyone, definitely top tier.. Loma's special imo, shuts that stuff down, or slows it down any way. He'd be hit more precisely than he could ever imagine Pryor. I honestly cant pick anyone against Loma
