You're anti-Eastern European bias is becoming nauseating at this point, you're better than this Jake, you're a lover of the sweet science and all things Ward, Rigo and Floyd, and if you can't see just how special a fighter Lomachenko is, you're either blind or just being obstinate. For once admit how good an EE fighter is, why do you want to make yourself look ignorant. You're smarter than this comment.
There are different mindsets. P4P is subjective. He clearly has p4p talent. He does not however have p4p achievements. Would I rate him as a top p4p fighter? No. Do he think he can be? Absolutely. Who's suggesting he is a top p4p guy? The guy has shown ambition and *****. He's fought guys in his first handful of fights that it would take other pros 20 bouts to get to. It's obvious he is far ahead of the field when it comes to 6 fight rookies, so naturally expectations are elevated. Audley Harrison? Wtf?
I agree...he's a slapper. As a world wide boxing expert myself (ahem) I enjoy watching his fights. But otherwise, he's another Rigo IMO. Who is also sometimes a joy to watch.
I love Loma, he's bloody great. But he is not P4P worthy for another 2 years at least. I never denied his ability...but he isn't all that yet. He was found out early but recovered well. Nevertheless he's not P4P worthy. Inoue has achieved so much more than him and he isn't P4P worthy either
So if he beats Rigo, Walters then Gamboa next and it hasn't been 2 years... sorry the expert poster has decided that Loma is not p4p worthy. Do you realise how ridiculous/unreasonable you sound? Guys like Teddy Atlas and Roy Jones already have Lomachenko as p4p.
The odds of him fighting those three in his lifetime let alone the next two years is a billion to one. Let's be real here. Am I being unreasonable? Or am I just being realistic? Also Atlas is an idiot...a blithering idiot. Roy also says a lot of things in the moment.
Stop playing the violin and listening to HBO crew the fight was boring Loma pity patting the Mexican for 10 rounds and HBO signaling the referee to stop the fight from the 8 round.
