I think he isn't, but he is getting close(r).

He's certainly got the ability, but hasn't accomplished enough yet to nab the top spot. He'll be there within the next year or two, though.

Well, like the saying goes, you guys need to remember to tuck you chin, but that might be hard with Lomo's nuts on it. Remember GGG was considered unbeatable until he fought Jacobs. Just saying.... I hope Lomo doesn't take that long to fight an elite opponent.

You've got Wilder's balls, other people have Lomas's, it's all good :lol:

To be honest as a Golovkin fan, with just 9 fights I think Loma's best couple of wins arguably surpass GGG's, and if they don't they're at least around the same level.

Walters going in and Russell are both right there with Jacobs P4P.

..not caring that much who is the one and only, I'd say it's a pleasure watching him box..I wish he had a harder punch though..

Thank you Horse. That was my point, which seems to strike a nerve with some people. When you step up to the next level, the competition may make you look not so invincible.....as we saw in GGG's case.

I've never seen a fighter that looks unbeatable. A fighter has never existed that looks unbeatable every time out. GGG is still unbeaten whether fanboys on a forum thinks he looks unbeatable or not. Just saying....

I don't have Loma #1, I don't have GGG #1. That being said, is there a fighter currently active that fits your definition of "invincible" or "unbeatable" or whatever other un-achievable terms you label them? Did you drop Floyd from the #1 spot because he didn't shut out Maidana? I certainly didn't.

No.

Because he looked good beating on limited Jason Sosa he suddenly gets elavated? We are not casual fans here.

Roman Gonzalez broke a compubox record for power punched landed in his last fight, but we'll ignore that because of some wacky judging lol.

Roman Gonzalez took significant beating in his last two fights. Barely anything was landed on Loma.

I don't have a number 1 at present, haven't had for a while...and the recent results/performances of some of my favourites have further muddied the water.

Lomachenko looks the most skilled fighter on the planet, but skills alone don't dictate p4p no1.

He's certainly in the mix with some of the others mentioned

Loma is unbelievable

I'd have him as p4p number 1 at the minute

Gonzalez still an amazing fighter though :box:

Roman is fighting a top 3 opponent four weight classes above where he won his first world title at 105.

That would be like Lomachenko dominating Crawford at 140. Not saying it can't happen but, do it first, then get the ranking.

Was the size difference between Sor and Roman really that much?

Roman jumped at least one weight class to high. It is not just size, but also strength.

The rankings have shifted dramatically with Frampton Santa Cruz, GGG Jacobs, Ward Kovalev 1 now 2, Thurman Garcia and Gonzalez losing it's all up in the air.
Lomachenko at best would be 7-9 P4P.

Frampton, Santa Cruz ??? What do they have to do with top p4p? Loma is clearly way above them, as well as above Thurman and Garcia.

Frampton and LSC would be an easy work for Loma at 126, no doubt about that. He is also better than Thurman is literally every aspect of boxing.

Let him stick around 130 for a bit and we can find out.
