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

This. Very well said.

 

Couldn't agree more

 

Well said. I don’t remember Floyd, Pacquiao etc being worried about size. Crawford is not worried about Canelo’s size.

 

He's not the most overrated, but definitely overrated and not for all the reasons you noted here, imo. But good subject matter for discussion.

 

Actually I did read the post and the title and there was no substance to it.

You said he doesn't pass the "eye test" but he looked dazzling in a majority of his world title wins with stand out wins vs Martinez, Russel Jr, Walters, etc so I don't know what you're seeing.

2 of Lomachenko's losses are highly controversial most felt he beat Haney. And Salido came in overweight was allowed to low blow all night long and should've been DQed.

There's been far more overrated fighters than Loma in recent years like Joshua for one. Loma has not lost convincingly at world level 2 being highly controversial as I said and a very close points loss to Lopez.

None of that makes him overrated he's been fighting world class opposition since his 2nd professional fight and has 15 wins in world title fights over 3 different weightclasses.

Apparently 15 world title wins over 3 weightclasses makes you "the most overrated fighter of the past decade" complete nonsense.

 

I completely agree.

 

I also don't understand why is it that every time Loma is mentioned dudes have to mindlessly repeat this dumb "Usyk fulfilled the prophecy of what Loma was supposed to be" take. What is the point of this comparison since they're not even competing against one another, they fight in vastly different weight categories with different styles so you can't even directly compare their accomplishments.

It'd be like saying Crawford fulfilled Wilder's destiny.

 

Crawford don’t want that Canelo work. I’ll give him props if he actually fights him m.

 

How can you type that with a straight face.

"Lost to Haney and Salido fairly"

Majority had Loma beating Haney I would say atleast 80-20 in Loma's favour make a poll now and see how many people think Haney won 7 rounds in that fight.

Salido come in overweight weighing in as a Welterweight in a fight scheduled at Featherweight. And was allowed to foul his opponent all night long with low blows with a shameful display on near enough the same level of corruption as Mares vs Agbeko 1.

If you call that fair then you pick and choose your agenda on what you want to call "fair" and "unfair".

 

It seems like Crawford does want it but Canelo is not so keen and neither does Canelo want the Benaivides work.

 

Hey listen stop with this “majority thinks” BS. It does not mean anything. As I am fond of saying everyone is entitled to their opinions but it does not mean the opinions are necessarily correct. Fights are not scored by polls but by judges. I and others found 7 rounds for Haney.

As for Salido coming in heavy so bloody what! Loma and his team chose to proceed with the fight which he did in fact lose. You keep making excuses about low blows etc. if your opponent hits you low and the referee dies nothing about it then you hit him back low. Sorry Bro but such excuses sound shallow like Hatton complaining about Floyd roughing him something he consistently did to his opponents but he came up against a guy In Floyd who could pay him back with interest and then some. No agendas but you guys need to accept Loma is not infallible. Loma is a great fighter but a bit overrated by his fans who equate him with a deity. He has actually screamed out “No Mas or is it Nomaschenko” faced with the Tank fight. Loma knows his limitations something his fans don’t.

 

Of course you will say "majority is BS" because it contradicts what you're saying. If a decision is considered highly controversial and the majority score it for the other fighter then that definitely has some merit.

So let me get this straight you're fine with corruption and consider it fair when a fighter breaks the rules ? Why not just let them fight in the street then ? That's why we have rules in the sport. And the rules were clearly broken in the Salido fight and your answer to that is "hit him back low" with a biased referee yeah that sounds like a smart option ever see the Reid vs Ottke fight ?

I never said Loma is "infallible" but you're suggesting your fine with the rules being broken and consider it "fair" that's a baffling take.

 

Crawford is overrated Olu. Knocked down by bumass Egis. If he’s really that guy, why not fight Vergil and Boots? He thinks he can get away with beating a shot to **** post car crash Spence. Nah FOH. Prove yourself. Dude barely scraped by Madrimov lmao.
