If you listen to Eubanks Snr his son is...I say Lomachenko is...he can be British with our "Open door immigration policy" ...why split hairs ;-)
seeing as a fighter a complete one, a champion. needs a chin, stamina, mentality, skills, speed and power. herol and 3 of them. where as now britian is riding high with many champs with champ mentality. the middleweight division has usually been a tough one, herol although supremely talented isnt better than brook, fury, frampton probably degale as a fighter.
He didn't get careless for a split second. He launched a sustained and unnecessary attack when the fight would have been stopped had he waited and held off due to jj eye damage. Jj broke his dental bridge in the previous round and he fought angry....suicide against jj.
I think timing and maybe not having the right connections ? When he defended his Euro belt against Kaylor it was a world eliminator for Hagler , but Hagler didnt honour that and fought Leonard . Herol then rather tread water for a year or so then lost his Euro title to Kalambay . He then got his world shots further down the line . After Kaylor he was 37-0 and looked peak .
