    Loma is one of the highest skilled boxers of the world next to Postol, Golovkin, Kovalev, Usyk and why not Tyson Fury.

    He's more skilled than all you listed by a good margin. Ward is up there with the most skilled.
    Salido next, then maybe Pedraza, Vargas-Corrales winner for a unification.
    Gamboa will come calling as he's moving down to 130lbs.
    If he cleans house at 130lbs and takes out Gamboa, he's P4P no.1.

    IMO Loma is on par in terms of boxing skills with 130 lbs PBF!

    That's not a controversial opinion and certainly doesn't warrant clarifying saying 'IMO'.
    Myself and Dealt_with has always said that Loma would beat Floyd because Floyd is not a stylistic threat and Loma is everything what Pac should have been. Loma is just the better boxer.

    It's ok if people dispute that, especially given Mayweather is the greatest 130lber ever.

    Hopefully Jezreel. Technician matchups are the best.

    Not a chance mate.

    If in that time Gonzalez beats Cuadras and Inoue there's no way Loma usurps his position.

    Ah, forgot about Gonzalez lol. Loma > Gonzalez but Gonzalez is already an ATG, and after Cuadras and Inoue, perhaps Estrada 2, maybe he could be no.1.

    EDIT: But I'd still go with Lomachenko because Lomachenko did it in fewer fights - that's what makes his legacy so epic.

    I think he's already established himself as the best FLW and below in history tbh.

    Especially if he does beat those names at SFLW.

    Yup, and wins against a few more names would settle all doubts.

    Lomochenko was briefly stunned by a right hand last night in an otherwise flawless performance. Point being he is not very big and he moved up I wouldn't mind seeing Walters take him on if he mans up

    I'd love a Salido rematch. I suspect Salido doesn't.

    I watched the fight again with this in view and couldn't see where he was stunned. I thought it very possible that Martinez would stun Lomachenko, before the fight.

    I would like to see Walters next - I know he won't man up and take on lomachenko, but thats the fight.

    Next, Salido/vargas rematch winner.

    Then Gamboa.

    Then Santa Cruz

    I wish there was a way to fight Rigo at 126lbs somewhere but sadly i think that time has passed.
