Too early to say. The armatures are different to the pro ranks. This applies to every other good armature boxer so I don't see why it shouldn't apply to Lomachenko too.
Big deal! Beating an old,fading Salido will not prove anything more than Salido is ripe for retirement'sville. There are other capable champions now holding the titles of the other boxing bodies as Mikey Garcia and Jhonny Gonzales and Nicholas Walters Loma has to fight and beat to establish himself as an elite featherweight. Some people are talking above their head of his potentials as an ATG and whoa! GOAT, really!!
Greatest amateur in history. 396-1 with the defeat avenged 4 times I think. The guy is a beast, he has it all, all he needs to do is learn the Queen's English and the sky's the limit!
Yes, he is.
But he may be taking it too fast, we will find out this Saturday.
I say he is the ''goods'' because he might just be the greatest amateur boxer ever, and because in Vasyl's first pro fight he knocked out a paper champion who had never been knocked out in his career.
Ramirez is not an ATG but he had an international championship and he was a #1 rated contender for a world title. Vasyl knocked him out in his first pro fight.
Leonard, Hearns, and even Muhammad Ali didn't have such an impressive win in their pro debut.
If people could rate potential. He might have the highest ever.
Fighting for the WBO Featherweight title in his second pro fight. Is Lomachenko the goods?
