How far is Lomachenko from being as great as Floyd Mayweather?

Loma’s well in front.

Greatest amateur to ever exist, and what he has done in his pro career so far compared to what Floyd did is like Night & Day.

 

Resume far too weak to be in the same sentence as Floyd. Had the chance to fight Pacquiao at 140 and didn’t.

 

Over 93% of Lomachenko's fights were Championship fights. When Floyd achieves that let me know....lol

 

No, Loma is far better at opening up opponents than a young Floyd was and his jab is better and more consistant.

 

So did Floyd.

 

Loma is the most skilled fighter of all-time.

 

He's not. And even if he was, that's not the question.

 

Lomo is a rare breed, an ATG great who wants to fight the best all of the time. Mayweather was a business man, who avoided the best when they were doing well too often.

So in that sense Lomo is greater than Mayweather will ever be.

 

Lomo is as close to Floyd as Caleb Plant's "greatness" in boxing compares to Robert Plant's place in rock history.

 

Great observation. Loma is a rare breed, he’s trying to make great fights, to unify the LW division and to make history. He’s not taking the businessman approach like Floyd. Tank Davis is an example of the business approach that is bad for boxing. Makes a lot of noise, fights bums. He’s the opposite of Loma and needs to be called out for it. Floyd was the same in the end.

Loma’s story is still being written and I don’t want to include him in any all time rankings. So far, I like and respect his approach. Wish more boxers would do the same.

 

FlIVd used far more holding and running than Loma does. Loma is better defensively because he rarely does either.

 

Floys fought Oscar at 154. To be a legend you have to beat one. Thanks for proving my point!

 

DLH had been beaten a number of times before that bout.

 

Maidana didn't kick anyones ass and did nothing in the second half of that fight. If that's the case salido kicked lomas ass.

 

Gatti is a hof fighter zab is a former lineal champ at ww and berto is a former titleholder none of those guys are bad and are better than pretty much everyone loma beat with the exception of possibly russell jr and maybe linares. Rigo was too small at the weight he fought loma at.
