    That's why I'm glad they built the Muhammad Ali museum in Louisville, which is a pretty badass place to visit. Hopefully that can help people moving forward who weren't there at the time learn about Ali so his legacy stays fresher than other boxers who've made a big impact in their time have.

    One jab from Wlad would put Loma into a coma.

    There are no weight restrictions in the NFL and rugby and there are no height restrictions in the NBA. Only in combat sports are physically inferior participants given a fair opportunity.

    not by boxing skill alone, Ali was a poet, motivational speaker, he got involved in politics, he was a great human being but not The Greatest boxer

    Can't be the greatest after 12 fights. Longevity is a key criteria which is as yet unfulfilled....

    Instead of hating Lomachenko for nothing we should be happy we can enjoy him and his career going on in the next few years. He is a joy to watch no matter if he continues winning or not. If sb is better he should beat him but still he is one of the greatest fighters out there right now.

    A pretty 'A typical' response I get when I personally cite Loma as the best right now:

    In fact I walked into KFC last week with a Hi Tech t shirt on & was lynched!

    Unfortunately...Loma is already 30 years old and at that weight, he will be at his prime for 2 or 3 more years only.

    He will stay a very good boxer at 35 but he will not be at his prime.

    He moved pro at 27 ...too late to have a long prime cerrer at this weight.

    he is maybe better than Ali pound for pound ...but the greatest ..come on.

    For sure he is a freak of nature but Roy Jones was too

    Ball gobbling like this, without him having done the ground work yet, is what annoys people about the Loma cabin boys. They are rising to the level of the rabbid Pac fiends.

    I swear you said you was a 'Lomachenko fan' once haha! If you just admit you HATE him people wouldn't go so hard on your vulnerable ass on here.

    A great boxer and historical character but, as a human being, he looked like a major *******.

    He's the best right now, but not the best since Ali. Duran, Leonard, Whitaker, Chavez, RJJ, Pacquiao, and Mayweather were as good or better. Top ten in the last fifty years is still very good.
