    I think the power might just be missing to make Loma think twice but consider this: Shakur looks quite better than the fighter who after 450 amateur & 7 pro wins lost to an over the hill Salido and Stevenson is two years greener than Basil was at the time. Now, Salido is tricky, why I picked him over Lomachenko but at the minimum I'd imagine Shakur not being bossed around looking like a novice, so in that particular fight, I'm picking this greener Shakur in a close UD over Lando - win, not a loss mind you.

    Lomachenko 118-110

    Today at 135lbs it's 116-112

    Has Shakur ever been in the ring with someone even half as skilled/great as Donaire? Donaire would walk around at 140+ so I don’t want to hear this size rubbish. Size matters less when you have skill on the table.

    Nah Lomachenko couldn’t land much on Rigo, he tapped away with the lead hand and with the circling. That was a disappointing fight because nothing really happened.

    Donaire lol he's a great but he'd have no business being at 130 he'd get slaughtered by Valdez let alone Stevenson. Look at his losses man

    Loma, without a doubt.

    There is nothing Shakur has to intimidate or excel over Loma.

    It would be 119-109 UD.

    Loma. He can handle boxers more than physical fighters.

    Rigo kept dipping below the waist and spoiling, he no massed, he knew everytime he punched he`d get countered so he fought negative.

    Rigo quit because he was out-foxed, he had no answer to Loma`s style.
