    Based on achievement, he obviously can't yet be #1 - he should certainly jump up a bit though.

    On skill, we can talk of Lomachenko as arguably the best around.

    I think he already is and all that's needed is further time for him to accumulate the fights and the scalps.

    Should be a top 5 lock now, closing in on top 3.

    Skillswise, he's got a great case for #1.

    Gonzalez, Crawford, Ward, Kovalev and Loma are the current elite fighters in the sport

    He's already P4P#1 in terms of pure talent and technical skill and ability, IMO. You simply do not rack up an amateur record of 396 wins and only incur a single loss (avenged twice) unless you are extremely special indeed. He wasn't picking and choosing who he fought or where he fought them in the ams, he was fighting at the elite level against the world's best amateurs for many years. To only be bested once in that amount of fights is absolutely insane. You don't think he had his fair share of off days or fought while carrying injuries or was sick or just felt like crap in those 397 fights?

    And during his 8 fight tenure in the pro ranks he's already become a two-weight champion and he's fought the likes of

    Salido
    Russell
    Martinez
    Walters

    Even the second tier of fighters he fought had good records and were pretty decent fighters.

    If my maths are correct his opponent's combined records when he fought them were 247-24-9 and 12 of those loses belong to Salido, the majority of which he suffered early on in his career when he was still learning his trade after not having an amateur career or if he did a very brief one. I might be wrong about that but I think I recall reading that.

    And Russell and Walters were obviously unbeaten when he fought them too.

    And he fought Salido in Texas, Russell in his country with an American referee and 3 American judges too.

    The guy is totally fearless. He has nuts the size of Jupiter.

    1. Gonzalez

    3. Kovalev
    4. Lomachenko
    BUT they will probably keep poster boy GGG as number 4.

    Good top 4. I also agree that Loma should surpass GGG on the rankings.

    Most importantly and first off, he should never have been in a top ten P4P list before tonight, but that looks to have deserved to change. He straight handled Walters and then some.

    Probably 5 but he's the top P4P boxer in the World. All you clowns putting Crawford and Ward above him have a screw loose.

    Haha everything is about race with you literally. Of course you pick Ward and Crawford specifically. At the end of the p4p is subjective to an extent, I can see someone having Loma p4p #1, I wouldnt have an issue with it.

    I have him number 1.

    Once in a lifetime talent who is already a 2 weight world champion and for people saying he hasn't fought enough people yet what I say is just look at the competition he has faced in 8 fights.

    My top 5.

    1. Lomachenko
    2. Gonzalez
    3. Ward
    4. Golovkin
    5. Kovalev

    Although I thought Kovalev beat Ward.

    Then keep Kovalev above Ward. A bunch of independent ranking services have like Transnational, ring and ESPN.

    My list;

    Loma
    Gonzales
    GGG
    Kovalev
    Pacquaio
    Ward
