What do you think is Lomachenko's best or most effective weight?

He may be too small for 135. He can still handle anybody there except possibly Garcia.

Looks brilliant at 130 imo. Might look slightly small at 135 but his skills will still see him beat everyone fairly comfortably, with the possible exception of Mikey.

Right !

He couldn't get any big fights at Featherweight and Rigo wouldn't move up.. He figured the Super Featherweights would fight him... He figured wrong.

Let him have at least 10 fights before wondering about this shitt.

First I will say that I understand that Lomachenko moved up because he could not get good fights at 126.

As a distant observer it appeared he could make 126 for a few more fights and really that was his optimum weight up to this point.

Now that he is at 130 I don't think he could go back down in weight and be the best of what he could have been .

Super-feather, I don't think he's tall enough or has the build to move up any further. If he were to fight some of the smaller guys in the division such as Crolla, Shafikov, Zlaticanin etc, I'd give him the edge over them..

It can't be a coincidence that the best guys at 135 are also quite tall for the weight.

He is the same height as Manny maybe a bit taller. He could come up in weight a lot by the end of is career. I think up now 130 is the right place for him but he ll be dominant in pretty much any division he d get

the weight he is right now is his best. he looks super fast, super agile

LOL at people who voted 135 when Loma haven't had any fights at that weight.
