Unpopular opinion - Lomachenko is the most overrated boxer in the past decade

Boots is a contender for this title.

 

He absolutely was a generational fighter though, one of those rare boxers who changed the whole game. Boxers in gyms everywhere copy his moves, Bam Rodriguez copies his moves, Usyk copies his moves. Just because he had a couple of controversial losses doesn't negate the skill and how good he was as a fighter. We wouldn't suddenly say that Usyk isn't all that if he lost a Fury or Breidis decision, or if Floyd lost a Castillo or Maidana decision. Lomachenko was a boxers boxer, the 0 matters more to the fans. At his peak he absolutely is as good as anyone who ever boxed, unfortunately politics don't favour Eastern Euro fighters. He isn't as consistent as Usyk or as fortunate as Floyd, I'll give you that.

 

He fell well short of being the best ever or even the best of his generation.

Heart was his biggest short coming. Look at a guy like Usyk who has shown absolutely no problems taking on much bigger and stronger men and standing right in the line of fire and going blow for blow with them. Serious cajones on that guy.
