    He`s far more athletic, he`s one of those fighters that basically built his career of athleticism along the likes of Roy Jones, Gamboa, Donaire and to a lesser extent Prince Naseem.

    If Loma had pacs athleticism he`d be p4p number 1 today lol.

    It's so silly to compare right now.

    Let me know when Loma get to Pac's level, then we'll talk.

    Pac would toy with a fighter like Salido. Loma has amazing potential, but still has some learning to do.

    Pac has been the most underrated fighter in boxing for many years now. After all that he's proven, his skills are still being underrated.

    Pac has faster hands. And?? Their foot speed and reflexes are comparable, but they are applied differently. Pac is a whirling dervish; Lomachenko is a technician.

    If Lomo doesn't make it to the top 5 P4P list in the next few, it won't be because of a lack of athleticism.

    I didn't say Lomo wasn't a great athlete himself, but Pacquaio is one of the best in the history of the sport.
