Who's more skilled, Lomachenko or Usyk?

The call Loma The Matrix for a reason. Because his skill level and technical wizardry is off the charts and extremely rare

Old lady glass jaw aside, they call Roy ''Superman'' for a reason. Because his speed and athleticism were off the charts

Usyk is amazing and he's incredibly gifted and skilled, Loma's skills and technical wizardry are damn near supernatural. Very few can do what he does, let alone as seamlessly and beautifully. It's pure poetry in motion and he is hands down the most skilful fighter in the sport, assuming he hasn't retired and if he has the #1 is Usyk followed by (in no order) Crawford, Inoue, Bam-Rod (a Loma clone), Bivol, Shakur, and there are others like Ioka, Jai, Clenelo, and even Twink is very skilled

 

Let's not forget that Loma dived right in at the deep end from the get-go when he turned pro. He was fighting a filthy dirty 11lb heavier reigning world champion Salido in just his 2nd pro fight who fouled the crap out of him all night and 100% should've been DQ'd and even if he wasn't he should've incurred multiple point deductions for his insane low blowing,

And a 24-0 GRJ in his backyard with home refs and judges in just his 3rd fight which a crazy risk to take and one which Stephen ''Breadman'' Edwards described as the most ballsy move of the decade because had Lomas lost he would've been 1-2 and his career would've been in tatters before it even got off the ground

I would draw a comparison between Loma fighting the much bigger Salido in his 2nd pro fight to Usyk fighting the much bigger (yes I know 11lbs is not 40lbs but 11lbs is a hell of a lot to give away for a 126 pounder and Salido was better than Chisora and dirty as hell) Chisora in Usyk's 18th fight.

Salido's style is one of the worst possible styles for a 1 fight pro novice, Chisora is a horrible introduction for your first real fight as a pro up at HW

But Usyk fought lower level guys for his first 9 fights and gave himself time to adapt to the pro game the right and sensible way, Loma dived right in the deep end off a 60ft board.

Loma should only have 1 loss and it should only be 2 losses combined in over 420 fights amateur and pro and only 1 in all those combined to someone close to his size and he avenged it twice

The fact he won over 400 amateur fights and lost just once in all that time should tell you how incredible his skill level is. You don't think he suffered injuries and had bad days at the office during that span? But he still was able to maintain a level of consistency that no other amateur great ever could despite that

This is his trophy cabinet

He won every single tournament he entered as an amateur in almost 400 fights sans one where he came second. Just think about that for a second

One solitary silver medal in an ocean of gold

Another absolutely insane stat

He conceded only 7 points when he won the gold medal at the 2009 World Amateur Championships despite the fact he broke his hand in the tournament. Just 7 freaking points in the whole tournament. Most amateur greats concede that amount in single fights

'Even a broken hand couldn't stop Lomachenko as he won gold at the 2009 World Championships in Milan while compromised. In that tournament, he beat his five opponents by a 56 point margin, outscoring them 63–7.'

And again

'Lomachenko won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and avenged his 2007 World Championship defeat to rival and reigning world champion, Selimov, in the first round. He beat his five opponents by an astonishing 45 point margin, outscoring them 58–13, en route to his first gold medal at the senior level. He was subsequently named the outstanding boxer of the tournament and awarded the Val Barker Trophy. His dominant run was described by one historian as "probably the most impressive streak in Olympic boxing ever."

Additionally, he won gold again that year to also become continental champion at the European Championships in Liverpool, conceding just 4 points against his four opponents

I don't think there is any amateur in the history of the sport no matter great they were in the amateurs or pros who can boast such insane defensive stats as those and even more impressive Loma isn't a runner or an octopus

This is supernatural type stuff
