Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Who would you say more deserves the title of P4P #1? On one hand, Crawford is the more complete fighter. On the other, Loma's wins over Russell and Rigo are arguably better than anyone Crawford has fought.
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
IMO it is a draw
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Loma has better wins over bigger names. He's P4P #1 right now

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
These subjective rankings are meaningless.
I know I'd rather watch Crawford. Meaner. More explosive.

I like 'em both. Which one I'd rather watch depends on who they're matched against.SenorPipino wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 13:11 These subjective rankings are meaningless.

I'm not too excited about Crawford vs Horn honestly because I expect a one sided ass kicking. I'd be stoked for TC vs Porter, Thurman or Spence though.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
I've a feeling that Loma is going to become quite boring as he moves up the weights. Rather like mayweather did.
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
He'll definitely stop less people. I don't know that he'll be more boring though. He'll be challenged more, and will have to work harder to win his fights.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 13:40 I've a feeling that Loma is going to become quite boring as he moves up the weights.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Which division would be optimal for Loma ? I feel that it is LW, and he should not move up at LWW.....Never...........gilgamesh wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 13:42He'll definitely stop less people.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Good question. The thing that makes Loma so compelling beyond skills is the impatience with which he is advancing. He just wanted to fight everyone from his first bout. .
I might lean slightly toward Crawford but far from sure.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Loma's optimal weight is probably 130, but he may be equally as effective at 135. He'll definitely be less effective as he goes up from there.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:34Which division would be optimal for Loma ?

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Lomachenko has an overall better resume. I still don't think either are p4p #1, though. Golovkin, Canelo should be ahead. Also, I think the clear, consensus p4p #1 should be the winner of Sor Rungvisai/Estrada. That's until Canelo/Golovkin.
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Especially if he goes to LWW too quickly.
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Simply, I can not imagine Loma facing Postol, it would be too much....And, I can not imagine Crawford facing Charlo.........gilgamesh wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:38Loma's optimal weight is probably 130, but he may be equally as effective at 135.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
I can imagine Crawford facing Charlo. I can imagine Loma facing Postol too. Chances are good though that by the time Crawford should move up to 154 or Loma should move up to 140 that Charlo or Postol will have already moved up in weight as well.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:56Simply, I can not imagine Loma facing Postol, it would be too much....And, I can not imagine Crawford facing Charlo.........

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
I don't like to use google to search height/reach, but difference would be huge.
How would Loma beat Postol ? No way...................
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
It's a tie. I enjoy watching both as long as the match-up seems somewhat competitive.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
...........Postol is much, much bigger than his compatriot Loma, too

I really, really, doubt that Crawford will ever face Charlo. Crawford is only 5'8" and welterweight would be his limit other than a huge money fight like Floyd did with Canelo or Oscar. If not that, no way. There is more than enough competition at welter.
Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
crawford is better than loma p4p imo, although only just a bit. hes got plenty of skill but also the power to go with it.

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Agreed. I have this "Ukrainian grudge match" a 50-50 fight due to Postol's size advantage. Even if Loma beat him he would never dominate Postol like Crawford did.
Postol > Loma @ 4" height advantage + 8" reach advantage

Re: Terence Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko.
Not sure how you consider Crawford the more complete fighter out of the two. Loma is possibly the most complete fighter I've ever seen. When was the last time you've seen a fighter utilize such a successful defense while at the same time executing a tremendous offence. I've not seen anything like it.
In your opinion, what makes Crawford more complete?
