    Gonzalez and Rigo are too small.
    Crawford and Postol are too big.
    Gamboa and M. Garcia are out of game.
    The rest is average, there is no A level fighter (126, 130, 135).

    I can't agree. He is top 10 pfp. It is obvious.

    Salido beat him. Salido and Vargas have just drawn. Corrales has a better victory than Loma.

    There's nothing obvious about it.

    Loma was not adapted to pro boxing, and referee allowed Salido low blows and unfair clinching. That was/is very obvious.

    When a fighter loses a fight, it is very obvious he is not a level above the fighter who beat him.

    In the case of rematch, I will never advise anyone to bet on Salido's win. Never.
    Frankly speaking, without any prejudice, I consider Lomachenko genuine champion, and Solido is very decent fighter, with great experience, and that's it. So...Lomachenko is level above Salido.

    He certainly isn't a genuine champ at SFW.

    But Loma is not a level above the man who beat him, absolutely not.

    Lomachenko vs corrales is very intriguing. Vargas and salido are tough, but they get schooled by loma at this point.

    Lomachencko vs Gamboa. Excellent fight. Gamboa never disappoints and he could mend his relationship with Top Rank a bit more.

    There are many legit fights to be made for Lomachenko against good opposition:

    Orlando Salido rematch, Jezreel Corrales, Francisco Vargas, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Nicholas Walters being the immediate opposition.

    One Lomachenko beats all of them, everyone will testify that Lomachenko is one of the TBE's.
