    He's proven himself at Cruiser already, and he dominated Joshua like no one has over 12 rounds.

    Lomachenko could have accomplished so much more if he had turned pro after the 2008 Olympics. I'm looking at who held a title between 2008 and 2010 from 126 to 135, and I can't see any of them beating 18-21 year old Lomachenko.

    Lomachenko is the small one, the Matrix? Usyk is the big one, great fighter but he can be hit more easily.

    Lomachenko, Usyk and Crawford are the 3 most skilled operators but I'd say Loma is the most skilled of the lot

    Loma is more skilled but Usyk is the better fighter.

    Don't know why people can't figure that out.

    On skill alone, Lomachenko. I have fewer worries about Usyk's mentality and ability to implement all of the tools at his disposal. Lomachenko is more prone to freezing up and taking too long to open up his offense as we saw against Salido and especially Lopez.

    Really? If I was ref, I'd take a point for low blows and you'd be looking at a DQ next.

    Loma is by far the most skilled fighter in the game

    usyk gets tagged a lot more despite being on the backfoot
    lomachenko had a blown out shoulder in the lopez fight and still arguably got a draw
