Why do you think Loma never had the same level of success as Usyk

The Salido fight was flat out disgusting from the weigh in all the way until the final bell.

 

Few reasons

1. I feel Loma is more arrogant than Usyk, I felt he heavily underestimated Lopez.
2. He isn’t as tough as Usyk, still plenty tough but not willing to die in there like I feel Usyk would be.
3. He was just way too small and his frame was horrible for moving up, short arms and narrow shoulders.
4. He took too many rounds off, he would always just use the first 3 rounds to download data.

I feel overall Loma is in the top 5 most skilled boxers ever and I’d make an argument that H2H he’s one of the best ever P4P

 

Lomachenko didn't quite understand that he as an EE fighter needed to win rounds categorically to win a decision against big name American boxers in the US.

 

Yeah I thought that if he had stepped on the gas a couple rounds earlier that he would've got Haney out of there in the 11th or 12th he had him ready to go Haney would not of survived that onslaught if it had started a round or 2 earlier.

 

He lacks the physical strength, unlike Usyk who cannot easily be pushed around or clinched by the bigger opponents. Why not come back, and do Usyk's Dubois rematch approach. He already has the skills after all. He could even challenge Manny.

 

Agreed but the reach disadvantage is the biggest factor for loma not achieving the success that Usyk achieved and the fact that usyk is calculating every minute of the round and keeping a mental score, he knows when to turn it on to take a round, and above all else Usyk has the heart of a true champion
