    If Lomachenko cleans up 130 and takes out a good fighter at 135, he's going to make HOF.

    How could he become an ATG, if he retires in 15 total fights ? going 14/1. I couldn't care less who he fought , that loss (to ****ing salido too) negates any chance at any ATG talk . .

    ATG amateur , sure but NOT for the pro's which is ALL that matters

    He would have to work through 140 too. to live up to 1/1000000000th of his fans expectations

    Age is irrelevant because by age of 28 Loma still had 2 Olympic golds and 2 golds in the worlds while May&Pac still had zero.

    Pacman didn't even have an amateur career but he has world titles in 8 divisions and they both have bank accounts to match their legacies

    Winning 2 Olympic golds is only as good as winning 1 tbh you should win the 2nd one unless you declined?

    Age has a lot to do with it and Loma is still playing catch up

    Loma is the most talented fighter in boxing right now. GGG the most fun to watch and Spence is definitely the guy to watch for upcoming fights. I love watching all 3 of these guys. They come to fight.

    So because of that disputed loss against a cheating opponent, regardless of what Lomachenko does now, he can never be an ATG?
    That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. All the ATG's have losses, and the ones that don't are way down on the list of all time great fighters because they didn't fight the best. If Castillo or Maidana or Cotto fought Floyd in his second pro fight and they cheated on the scales, and in the fight... what do you think would've happened? As it is many had Castillo and Maidana beating Floyd. I have to assume that you're a big Floyd fan because that's where the idea that a zero is a reflection of how great a fighter is originates from. It's a stupid idea and no true boxing fan buys into that nonsense.

    Here's a thought that will blow your mind.... what if Floyd comes back, fights Lomachenko and loses? Will Floyd suddenly be out of the ATG talk? Would Lomachenko be in the talk?

    Does Floyd get to have 400 amateur fights and have the physical development of a 27yo man?

    I say Floyd might just whoop them, Floyd was in his physical prime at 27

    I forgot to add are you really trying to compare prime Castillo and Cotto and even Maidana tbf to washed up Salido?

    Like Floyd had any chance of winning the Gold. Everybody knows the truth behind that.

    That olympic judging panel might as well have had the biggest Floyd haters on this forum: CST80, PIPO23, CJ. Aint no way Floyd was winning that fight.

    I'm not declining anything May or Pac have done, they are both great, but it's unfair to compere them to Loma at the same age and saying May and Pac was further in their careers at the same age. Loma obviously stayed longer as a amateur and what is impressive with Loma is that in almost 400 fights he only lost once and he was a pro world champ in his third fight, that's something that neither May or Pac can compete with.

    I'm not even that big of fan of Loma, I'm way bigger fan of Pac, but you can't deny that Loma is an amazing boxer!

    I'm just saying that you can compare them, they all have different credentials and they are all great boxers.

    Its much fairer to compare them by age than it is to compare them by pro fights!!!

    How can you compare Manny after 2 pro fights to Loma after 2 pro fights

    Pacman was just a starving 16 yo homeless street kid with zero amateur experience and Loma was 27 yo and the pride of a nation and was really a fully professional fighter for a decade fighting at the highest level the amateurs had to offer for the same length of time

    He doesn't need to be successful at 140lbs to be TBE. That is the weight I envisioned he would pick a belt up against a very easy 'champ', at the very end of his career. We're not saying he's going to be the greatest ever because todays landscape makes that rather impossible - although Vasyl is taking strides to be that. Vasyl at 140lbs is a joke and he shouldn't have to go there at all.
    I say RJJ is TBE but I only find him at the Middleweights. Lomachenko (adapted to pros) is invincible at Feather. When I think of Loma as one of the TBE's, it's him at the Featherweights.

    Nobody forced you to hate GG. You have your own mind, right?
