has excellent technique, reflexes & defensive like floyd and excellent speed, combination punching like manny. he is a combination of the 2. rarely have i seen a boxer as good as lomachenko, only roy comes to my mind.

You're a moron

Really, thick as fvck!

An expert idiot, you might say

And he enjoys demonstrating it.

Well, right now, he is better than both.

Difficult to say, but, he is a brilliant boxer.

Better than a retired former p4p no1 39 year old who is coming back for a circus act

And a spent great who is commencing a world tour against lesser fighters

Yes he is

Got a hell of anlot to do to prove he lives with either in their prime.

They looked superhuman, unbeatable at their best.
Loma looks similar. Let's see him do it consistently at the highest level for a number of years.

He wont conquer the number of weight classes those 2 did. That's for sure

davie and tanzio you once again showing how stupid you are, obviously i mean prime vs prime.

He was superb tonight, but it was only Jason Sosa in the opposing corner. A good but not elite fighter.

Let's see him at 135 against Linares, Barthélemy and especially Garcia .

He's yet to fight anyone worthy of carrying the jock strap of guys on Floyd and Mannys records

Everybody has an opinion. I think that Lomassiah is great but he hasn't proven to be as great as FMJ and Pac yet.

I also think that you are a fvcking idiot.

It was a prime RJJ type of performance from him tonight

If he move up at 135 and defeat Garcia and become undisputed LW champion - he would be better than Floyd and Manny.
He has a lot of potential, SFW is pretty weak division right now, but he is not guilty because of that.

Yes, he is better.

Sorry bud, that highlights your stupidity

Prine for prime Loma has given us no reason to believe he is at that level

Prime Floyd and prime Pacquiao would have utterly schooled and stopped Sosa or any of Lomas opponents so far.

He MIGHT prove to be better, he is an exceptional talent and one of the most skillful I've ever seen.

But he has a lot to prove before we put him in the Floyd, Pac, RJJ, Whitaker bracket

A guy like Sosa would fit right in on RJJ's LHW resume

.

Big shout that. Floyd was undefeated in 49 fights and a 5 weight world champion. What was Manny? 8 divisions or something daft? plus fought the who's who of a generation of fighters.

Manny has wins over Barrera, Morrales, Marquez, Mosley, De La Hoya, Cotto, Hatton , Margarito, Diaz, Larios.

He is talking about skills, not resume.

Of course .....

Noted

But these guys took apart elite fighters in just as impressive a manner as Lomachenko did Jason Sosa last night.
I wonder how good a prime Manny or Floyd would've looked against Jason Sosa at130.

Playing devils advoctae a bit here cos he was sublime last night

Manny would probably stop Sosa earlier, but he would get hit himself too. Loma barely gets hit, and it doesn't run or hides his head below his waist to achieve that.

Do we think he'll go 135 next?

He has no choice, if he wants to earn a "big money"...

Loma has a lot of potential, but it will take years to get there where Floyd is..great start in any case...

He won't. Because people who hate on him will move the goalposts, saying Mikey isn't the real deal or some shit. It's like Floyd beating Pac, they gave him no credit, or Ward against Kovalev.
