    It's sad that he's a featherweight. If only he was a LWW or bigger people would care about him more.

    Anyways, he's IMO the best fighter in the world on a pure talent level. He would IMO defeat Floyd Mayweather at 130 pounds. He's the best pure boxer I've seen in a very long time.

    He's only 27 years old with a style that should age gracefully.

    It was a green mistake. It was only his second fight and was getting his feet wet in the pro ranks.

    Not to mention he was fighting a Welterweight.

    No fighter is defined by their second pro fight.

    Hopkins lost his first pro fight.

    his style wont age gracefully at all. he uses way too much motion and energy for it to age well. still amateur like in his style.

    The fact you think he beats Mayweather @ 130 should disqualify anything else you have to say. Ever.

    Why is weird to say Loma could beat Mayweather at 130 pounds? Loma has tremendous skill.

    He's very good. He's big at fw. He should move up to 140 where there would be a ton of interesting matchups.

    :good:good:good:good:good:good

    His step-daddy Orlando Salido has filed for joint custody of Vasyl. He has to bring his grandson Gary to celebrate Cinco De Mayo and Mexican Independence Day with the Salido family.

    Orlando is very cultural. Their will be food and drinks and their inactive Grandfather Mikey Garcia will tell stories about their lineage to him.:happy

    Wow, Salido is a journeyman? :patsch

    It's sad that boxing fans don't know the difference between contender, journeyman, gatekeeper, etc.

    Loma may actually be the best fighter H2H in the world.

    He pretty much easily toyed with the best featherweight in the world. Russell was game and undefeated and he was just outclassed.

    This man is for real.

    Lomachenko is fantastic fighter............................he did not lose against Salido, Laurence Cole beat Lomachenko....................low blows, hitting behind the head, hitting after the bell, excessive holding, was out in the 12th round. Lomachenko is for real.........................

    I'm not laughing at the idea of him being a top fighter just the mention of mayweather in every single thread
