    Which stand out amateur will have the more successful pro career?

    Lomachenko just looks so much more amazing. Golovkin is all class, but Lomachenko, man, he's something else.

    Depends who they fight. Loma tho in 3 fights already faced an elite fighter where GGG hasn't, yet. That may change soon.

    Loma IMO has better defense and is just more complete.

    What Lomachenko did already is probably better than half(or more) of the champions available in the sport today. Winning a world title after 3 professional fights isn't something anyone can do.

    This.

    GGG has tremendous technical ability and a murderous punch. He is, however, a rather pedestrian athlete.

    Lomo, on the other hand, blends world class technical skill with elite level athleticism.

    Loma is also much younger and basically at the same point in his career.

    GGG is already 32.

    What elite fighter?

    Certainly not Gary Russell Jr. Loma fans have been contradicting themselves. Before the fight, they said Loma would win because GRJr hasn't fought anyone, he's fought cab drivers. After the fight, they give Loma all this credit. How does he deserve credit if GR Jr has never stepped up in class?

    Salido isn't elite either.

    You're right, because their promoter wouldn't elevate them that quick.

    Lomachenko due to the fact that he has time on his side, Golovkin won't be in his prime much longer, he's not fighting great opposition, I think he can and will still have a good career but Lomachenko if he keeps improving should have a better career overall.

    I don't think Golovkin is in his prime now, his movement isn't what it was.

    But...as long as he stays at 160, it's hard to see him losing for the forseeable.

    Loma is more technically sound, but Golovkin i unmissable viewing.
