    No, he's Ukrainian.

    LomachenKO, KlitschKO, EmelianenKO, DudchenKO, SenchenKO - they are all ethnically Ukrainians.

    Yeah, Loma speaks russian, because Ukraine is a former Soviet country, all former Soviet countries were forced to speak Russian. Other languages were under an embargo. Nowadays former Soviet countries try to save their native languages.
    I believe in 10-15 years all Ukrainians and people of other former Soviet countries will forget russian.

    When GGG became popular in the states Russian people started pretend that he's their boxer - BS. The same thing with Loma.

    I'm pretty sure I heard mayweather speaking English? He is therefore English.

    They are all Slavic, they all speak a Slavic dialect. They are ethnically almost identical.

    I think Lomachenko has the most pure " pound for pound " talent of the bunch. Who the heck was this good and won a title in his 3rd pro fight? No one in history.

    What we have here is a light weight, a middle weight, and light heavyweight, all in their primes, and possibly hall of fame bound one the retire.

    Some used to think the Eastern Euro's were only dominating the heavyweight division. Not so. No one wants to fight GGG or Kovalev. Hopkins knows better and so does Cotto.

    PS: Usyk is the best cruiser weight prospect I have seen since Holyfield. He's a top talent who can move up to heavy as he is 6'3" tall. He belongs in this conversation too.

    I said that in an earlier post he was Mansi, they are Finno-Ugric people which is a close relative of Slavic people they share the same high levels of R1a DNA. They are like Slavic Eskimos.
