Is Loma the most overrated boxer of this generation?

he is quality, but yes, he is hugely overated by some knuckleheads, but what p4p fighter isnt? fact is, most fans know jack chit about what they are watching in the ring, then they come into forums like this, expecting everyone else to be just as clueless and calling you a hater because you dont paint the same picture they do.

 

Rigo was offered the fight at 126, instead he chose to stay in a division where all the top guys avoided him and he fought weak comp....shouldn't he of dared to be great?

 

Most skilled and talented fighter I've ever seen since probably Duran. Very good resume, but its the eye test that does it, same with Crawford and Spence. But Loma is even a level or two above them imo.

 

You don’t understand boxing then.

 

Actually I do, I've boxed for 22 years.

 

You took too many punches then.

 

Wtf.. My favorite fighters are Charlo Bros, Spence, Crawford, GGG, Thurman and Tank Davis but come on man with bs agendas.. I’m terms of skills, resume and accomplishments Hi-Tek is head and shoulders above everyone imo.. Tank Davis don’t no problems with Loma

 

No. /thread.

 

The most overrated boxer in the sport is GGG hands down. As for Loma he's somewhat overrated but mostly by overzealous fans who have an agenda and who aren't really boxing fans in the first place if you know what I mean. He's P4P #1 and a hell of a talent. What he has done is incredible but he's not like your typical boxer who turned pro at 18 or 19 he turned pro a full grown man at 26 with an ATG amateur experience. This without a doubt has helped him transition into the pro game much easier.

 

Do you not consider Crawford overrated in the same vein as both GGG and Lomachenko by his fans?

I personally admit that I'm a fan of both GGG/Lomachenko....they're elite.

Crawford is elite but for whatever reason I just cannot warm to him....a bit like the Charlo's. That's not to say I don't see or respect their talent.

 

Awesome. Sweet. You just learnt me bro.

 

Crawford has moved up in weight unlike GGG who refused to. Crawford wants to face Spence Thurman and others at 147 but probably will not be able to because he is signed with Top Rank, which is why he needs to leave them and sign with PBC because they have all the talent at 147.

As for Crawford's resume it isn't good and I can see why people say he's overrated but as far as his skills you can not question them. Good jab the best switch hitter in the game good ring IQ footwork mean streak power and defense. He is more skilled and complete than a guy like GGG for example. And like I have always said if GGG and Crawford were the same size then the fight wouldn't even be worth talking about because Crawford would school him. Crawford skill level allows him to move up and still be successful I don't think GGG can do the same or I should say he has not shown the ability to do so yet. But I could be wrong.

As far as Loma no argument from me I have him P4P #1 ahead of Crawford. Now if they fought I would pick Crawford to win but I hope it never happens because Loma has no business in the ring with Crawford and he has better much more winnable fights to take like Mikey Garcia at 135 for example which is the best fight that can be made in boxing IMO.

 

Agree.

Crawford IF he can still beat the best at 147, especially Spence who imo is the obvious standout will finally (again imo) warrant his hype.

Tbh 147 is the most stacked division currently, this is good for Crawford legacy wise.

With Loma at 135 Garcia is the fight to make as you say.

 

I think Spence beats Crawford at 147. It's a fight that needs to happen but I have my doubts that it will because of rival promotions.
