    Fair enough that you think Golovkin is the best tbh.
    Loma is around 136-138lbs on fight night and walks around at 138! He makes 126 without any problems whatsoever according to himself. His frame is that of a bigger sized 126lber.
    Crawford comes in at 157lbs on fight night for a LWW bout. His frame is that of a Welterweight. Loma is unquestionably small at LW - in frame, dimensions and fight night weight (they all come in 150+) - especially the current crop, they're huge. He was very small at 132lbs in the amateurs compared to his opposition and only moved there because they eradicated 126lb division.
    Moreover, Crawford drained himself severely to make LW, and still drains himself considerably to make 140.
    He is a weight cutter whereas Loma doesn't want to cut weight. Loma will be a stocky little man at 135 when he eventually puts on more lean muscle and decides to stay there. People forget he's only moving up because there's no one willing to challenge him. He is going to be fighting at LW the exact same size as he was as a FW.
    Going up two weight classes whilst divorcing the truths about the sizes is not the way to analyse this.
    It is not up for contention bro, Loma LW = Crawford LMW.
    All of this is a reason why he is not P4P above Loma in my book.

    I think Canelo fills that niche in boxing today held by Felix Trinidad or Terry Norris in the past. He's good, but not the absolute cream of the crop.

    The most skilled boxer in boxing today is clearly Lomachenko and I do mean by far!!!

    Linares vs. Lomo would be mouth watering.

    I've got a ton of respect for rigo and he has amazing skills but he has absolutely no imagination! He will just stand and wait for his opponent to make a mistake instead of initiating an attack
    Lomachenko will NEVER get his ears boxed off, he is far too talented for that.
    Lomachenko wastes energy? It's called boxing! Moving in a forward direction! Rigo has only shown he is a reactional boxer. Brilliant at it but you need more than that to fight loma.
    if you can't see blatant once in a life time talent Loma has then just stop watching boxing. You are clearly a hater.

    Rigo is a master you are right.
    But you are also right in that they are on different levels. Loma is on a higher level than anyone.
    Please grow up and respect ✊

    Loma is my personal pick for #2 after Ward's impressive win put him at #1 P4P. Two best fighters in the sport in their prime. Ward would have to lose against a lesser quality to lose his spot.

    Adding something Loma was fighting at 132 five years ago in the amateur world champion so the idea of him been 126 in not true, they will have to boil him to make 126.

    I think he's the best fighter in the world today but obviously doesn't have the resume to back it up. Garcia and Linares would put him up there but that depends on what Ward and GGG do during that timespan.

    If we were judging it like they did in the old days, i.e. who's the best regardless of weight - I think it's Loma right now.
