Lomachenko's Place Atop Boxing's Highest Summit Is Coming To An End...

The guy just moved up to a weight he is small at, and won back to back titles, with an injury, and he is sliding? Sure. Let’s discuss this after he unifies the other titles and then nomasses Mikey Garcia.

 

I want a DNA test... Now!

 

Okay! Fair enough! But my initial post was just that, which was about the MOST IMPORTANT / FACET of boxing. I.E. The boxing skills / techniques / moves that make up boxing. I could care less about the less worthy stuff. Which was where my criticism lied.

 

Jesus Christ, keep Lomachenko as far away from Prograis and Taylor as possible, especially Prograis. The thought sends chills down my spine.

 

No I'm dead serious. Do you want to see a dead Ukranian superstar leaving a boxing ring in a body bag on a universally televised/streamed channel?

 

what? Come on man I'm a big Lomachenko fan but let's be objective and keep the schizophrenic delusions at bay. You were even saying how he was getting marked up by two comparatively light-hitting LW's and you think he has a chance against two absolute bangers at 140, who by the way also possess world-class skill and talent, not to mention a huge size, height, and reach advantage? Lomachenko is one of my top 5 favorite fighters and believe me I truly appreciate his special skills, talent, athleticism, heart, drive, and balls. The check he writes against these two is bouncing bro, just like he would be off the canvas repeatedly.

Lomachenko is a special and generational talent but weight classes are there for a reason and no matter how special any fighter is, none are invincible and all make mistakes certain fighters can capitalize on. Just enjoy and appreciate watching him fight because dudes lime him dont come along more than once -- or at best twice -- in a lifetime.

 

believe me, it is absolutely impossible for some people here to imagine, just simply imagine, being able to analyse a fighter they like with out polluting the exercise with personal bias, they dont even understand how that could be possible. people just dont do that.

 

So true and obvious and it still made me laugh my ass off

 

I do agree with the durability issues, I've always noticed that even when he's dominated guys, which is basically all his pro fights, he's always the one one who looks worst for ware. I think his long amatuer background has a lot to do with it. i think he'll be fine moving forward but I think his scar tissue gives out before he does.

 

Anyone else sick of seeing the General forum full of this turds threads?

 

I said that size will be his only disadvantage a while back. The man's skills are second to none. Sooner or later, if he keeps moving up, he will run into a guy that takes his punch and punches with him. Similar to R. Chocolatito. I can't say 135 is his limit but, really don't see him going much higher than 140, if at all.
