Is Lomachenko overrated?

[VG_Addict]

From what I've heard, he got exposed.



Has he always been overrated?

[TitoFan]

This thread is bound to get the same response as a fart in an elevator.

No Loma is not overrated and only idiots would say he was exposed.

[powerpuncher]

By some people yes. In general, I don’t think so.

[imp]

He’s not overrated.

The better man won on Saturday and I’m sure Lomachenko will come back stronger.

All the best champions come back from a loss.

[SlimTrae]

I agree with all the above.

I'm not quite sure how someone who is to anyone with half decent vision, a basic grasp on boxing and a fully functioning brain, an Elite level World class operator, can become overrated? Were there people out there claiming he would beat a grizzly bear in a forest? A shark in open water?

Daniel Dubois is overrated. There are people out there who think he wipes the floor with Tom Dick and Harry right now. We might find out in a few weeks that he's not even the fourth best heavy in the country.

If anything, Lopez was underrated. There were many that thought he'd be out of his depth. He clearly wasn't.

Overrated, like exposed, is generally speaking another buzz word that people like to use with no real justification.

People get too up in their feelings and can’t think clearly about questions. They take everything as an insult rather than as what it is.

The question is, was he overrated, well, that depends on who is rating him. Some had him as the best fighter since Ali, those people obviously, obviously, obviously overrated him. Anyone denying those people overrated him are only, ONLY, speaking from feelings. Because there is no rational reason to say he is the best since Ali, none whatsoever.

But, those that had him number 1 PFP, they might have been right. There is nothing saying someone can’t be overrated and be the best in the world. I know it sounds strange but it’s logical if you stay out of your feelings and deal in truth.

No. The question was, is he overrated. You got the verbs around the wrong way. Lets deal in truth here.

No, that’s the title. You should probably read the question. The question is and I quote “ Has he always been overrated?” You got the verbs wrong, let’s deal in truth, not emotion

Relax Ron. I'm just fucking with you. I never really pay attention to your posts. So emotional.

[Ron Swanson]

Relax Ron. I'm just fucking with you. I never really pay attention to your posts. So emotional.

Yet you disagree without actually disagreeing with anything I said. Because you can’t. That’s an emotional action. Go ahead, try and dispute what I said or stop talking

You on the other hand said “ overrated?
I'm not quite sure how someone who is to anyone with half decent vision, a basic grasp on boxing and a fully functioning brain, an Elite level World class operator, can become overrated” of course anyone can be overrated. That is glaringly obvious. Just simply incorrect. Hyperbole, which comes from feeling, not fact. It’s silly. You know you can do better than saying something so obviously wrong so just own it.

[Memphis]

So you only want fact? No emotion, just cold hard facts?

Teddy Atlas had him P4P no.1 over Ward and Crawford when Ward was fighting which is insane.

It’s like Top Rank Billionaire Bob Arum is so rich he has his hand in every orifice of boxing and sways these decisions.

Lomachenko is 32 years old and has a few years left in him and can easily come back and show why he has a massive following.

Lopez and Haney will give him issues so perhaps chase the Tank route for a massive money fight.

I want you to not say silly things. You know boxing, speak like it. Saying Vasili couldn’t possibly be overrated is silly. Anyone can be overrated and if you think about it you know that. So say that
