My personal picks for top Lomachenko opponents, in order of quality, would be: 1. Walters, 2. Linares, 3. Russell Jr., a bit of a gap there... then, 4. Rigondeaux, 5. Martinez. I hate to say it, but Martinez was a rather weak champion. Brave... fun to watch... but weak. Mikey Garcia had already destroyed him earlier. Rigondeaux was so way out of his league in size it wasn't even funny. What's funny is how Loma fans will grasp onto Rigo like it was Leonard-Hearns all over again. The other three I rate as great wins. Crawford's big wins I won't put in order, but suffice it to say I'd include Postol, Benavidez, Gamboa, and Dulorme in there. I'm sure Loma fans would poke holes in those too. Like I said, there's no shame in picking either, since that's what boxing pundits are doing.
Good post Tito.

Personally I feel Loma's best 3 are Russell Jr, Linares, and maybe Walters.

Put that alongside:

Briedis, Gassiev, Glowacki

Or

Narvaez, Taguchi, Payano

And there's not really a lot that's so superior.
