^^^It is written that all those lacking blind faith in the Lomassiah also must hate PutinLand. It is also written that all Lomachenkolytes must also worship PutinLand and confirm their blind faith of PutinHeadism. For it is also written that Putin is the Father through immaculate conception of Lomamassiah. Therefore, PutinHeads are Lomachenkolytes and Lomachenkolytes are PutinHeads. It is not possible to be one without being the other. All those who claim to be either without being the other are blasphemers and shall be subject to public ridicule and eternal suffering. :bow: :bow: :bow:

It is very likely that a person who is making negative posts about both Russian Kovalev and Ukranian Lomachenko doesn't like "Russians", and it has nothing to do with Putin, Stalin or Ivan the Terrible. Just ask your wife to be nicer to you.

The fact that you would have the audacity to even pose that question is irrefutable proof of your lack of blind faith, blasphemer! Lomassiah was the GOAT of all GOATs from the dawn of time, before questions existed, and he will be the GOAT of all GOATs until after the end of time. Repent ih ye of little faith, or face the consequences. :bow: :bow: :bow:

So someone who posts something negative about two sportsmen hates Russians, one of whom isn't even Russian. Is this a joke?

Even though fighters like Loma, Usyk, Golovkin, etc. are not technically "Russians", their first language is Russian, and they were born in the same country, Soviet Union. It is very likely that a person who trolls about Kovalev and Loma has a problem with Russians/Eastern Euros/foreigners being the brightest boxers in America.

No, it isn't. The only problem people have with these fighters, is how retarded some of their fans are.

Yes, she has failed me, Lomassiah, and PutinHeadism itself! I am not convinced the Lomassiah is the GOAT of GOATs. I do not believe that Putin is Lomassiah's father by immaculate conception. I do not believe that Krusher was robbed v Ward.

My wife must not be a Lomachenkolyte or a PutiHead :o

May the omnipotent figment of my imagination save me from the onslaught being wrought upon me by the Hatchlinghood of the Lomachenkolytes. :bow: :bow: :bow:

That which you describe as "retarded" is the pure blind faith that Lomachenkolytes bathe themselves in eternally. Lomassiah is the way and the lyte. We cannot be expected to be able to comprehend the purity of faith demonstrated by Lomachenkolytes. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Indeed, beating a potential HOFer like Walters is clear and convincing evidence that their lord and savior has indeed ascended to P4P #1, where he has belonged since before another HOFer had to cheat horrendgously in order to rob Lomassiah of his rightful place at the head of all GOATs table.

Furthermore, anyone who does not agree with every detail of the scriptures according to Lomachenkolytes cannot be a fan of Lomassiah and shall be targeted for their blasphemy against their lord and saviour. :bow: :bow: :bow:
What else could these Lomachenkolytes ask for at this point? Their boy gets handed 2 title shots in his first 3 professional fights and now they want to just give him the same free ride to the top of the P4P rankings. No other boxer in the history of the sport has achieved so much without ever earning it first. That's one top spot i'll gladly give these knuckleheads. It's a more sensible topic.

You're forgetting Wilt Chamberlain amigo - the man who was the greatest heavyweight of all time, despite never actually having fought amateur or professional.

P4p is silly since it's so subjective; typically I rate guys highly on the p4p list for either

a) beating or good showings against fellow p4p ranked fighters

or

b) long time dominance of a division that may not have fellow p4p ranked fighters

Loma hasn't done either of these yet so if I were to sit down and make one he would not be anywhere near the top.

But the bolded portion of your statement is where my question lies. What other boxer in the history of the sport has achieved what Loma has in his first 8 fights? And before anyone goes off the rails, re-read the beginning of my post. And for the record I don't think Gary Russell is better than Oscar De La Hoya...in fact I'm not sure Gary Russell is better than Daisy De La Hoya.

Don't believe anyone beats Lomachecnko.

Beterbiev has had a really nice start as well.

I wish more boxers would do this. While Loma received special attention, Beterbiev has been making his own way. He has some really good names under his belt for only having fought 10 pro fights.

The way the current model works, it seems Lomachenko would be much more legitimate had he faced low to subpar competition for his first 20 fights before facing who he faced in his 2nd pro fight. Even though it would only really be who he has faced since Salido that really matters anyway, people would find him more credible... Seems many are a fan of padding your record. But not too much. I believe that allowed limit before the bitching arises is between 15-20 fights.

While the title of the thread does seem quite far fetched atm, it does not mean it won't end up being true. I would say that with an amateur record such as his, someone like him would have the potential to be in the running for that title. It is a bit too early to tell at this point, but I feel he will probably end up landing among the greatest of all time gang.

Beterbiev did refuse to face Kovalev in Russia and was slowed down by his injury after that. Usyk's start is better.

No, it isn't. The only problem people have with these fighters, is how retarded some of their fans are.
So if some fans are retarded, you can say that Kovalev lost when he didn't ?

:TU:

You are absolutely correct; the current model in boxing would have legitimized him more to his detractors who see only win/loss records. What he has done in only 8 fights is extremely impressive from not only a current sense but also from a historical one. Of course people get FAR too carried away comparing an 8 fight pro with all time greats as it remains to be seen if Lomachenko can ascend to those heights. But through his first 8 fights if you're not impressed it's simply because you don't want to be.

Who has expressed that they are not impressed with Loma (including caldo2025)? Just wondering, because I have not read any post that has stated that Loma is less than impressive.
