    Lionel Messi is considered by many a the greatest footballer of all time and one of the greatest sportsman, how does Loma compare in his respective sport? Is he as good as Messi is in the sport of soccer, can you compare boxers to other gifted sportsmen?

    Talent wise maybe. Accomplishment wise not even close. Messi is at least top 3 all time in the most popular sport on the globe.

    Then Orlando Salido is Albert ****ing Einstein in the ring like Micheal Jordan is on the basketball court.
    He pushed Lomachenko's **** in and hell beat Messi up too if he wants it.

    Yes but even more impressive is the FACT that Loma is also better at football than Messi. Let that sink in, Lomagotmeshookstans.

    Messi is on another level, Lomachenko is just below that, but slightly. There is no weight class in soccer, tiny guys have to compete against larger men. No size requirements.

    Do you think Serena has a harder punch than Murray?

    Messi is the greatest player of all time. Bit early for Loma yet

    IMHO, talent wise he is more like the equivalent of Zidane or Bergkamp. A player who is technically gifted, beautiful play and superior intelligent and vast knowledge of the game.

    Being big isn't advantageous in soccer

    Not sure. Haven’t seen Loma execute an over dramatic flop yet.

    No.

    He isn't.

    He's the best of this era though.

    It is if you know how to use your body. Especially defenders. Fact is being big helps, a lot.
