How can this man be beaten? Has anyone seen a weakness in him? He will make an excellent pro and I would not be surprised if he was to win a world title in under 10 fights, he could win on in 5 imo. Assuming his fitness isn't an issue and he can go 12 (as I expect he could) how would he do against DeMarco, Rees, Vazquez, Broner, Burns et al?

Before anyone thinks im trolling I am serious, people will say we dont know how he'll do in the trenches of a 12 round fight, but thats the same for every prospect, when you make a prediction you have to stick your neck out, if Rigo can climb to the top of a division in under 10 bouts so can Lomachenko.

He is one of the best amateurs I've ever seen. Someone mentioned to me that he is 300-2 or something like that which is astonishing. He can do whatever he likes in the pro ranks. Only thing is, he has had a bit of hand trouble before. Smaller gloves may not help

He's only lost one fight to the at the time Russian world champion, he avenged it the next year with a first round stoppage. hard to say, the Cuban has give him some real tough fights and like everyone he has weaknesses, its just exposing them thats the problem. His movement is up there with the best I've ever seen, just always in the right place at the right time, knows how to open people up whilst still keeping a fairly tight defence.

I wish he would just turn over. He wants to go the AIBA pro route so he can win three Olympic gold medals but he could be a dominant force as a pro. I actually think he'd already have the beating of some of the top guys in his weight over three rounds. Obviously thats no good but he could be fast tracked with little problems imo.

you dont.
Cheers lads. Ye he's only lost once (which he says was a robbery, havent seen it so cant comment), five years ago and that was swiftly and comprehensively avenged. Even over five rounds he's looked unstoppable, for me and this mmay sounds outrageous, but give him one or two fights at Euro/Fringe level when he turns over to get to grips with the distance (i think WSB has helped already) and you can lob him in with the top names and I'd back him. Ass you guys say, his movement is outstanding, he rarely takes clean punches, his shot selection superb, I wouldn't want to fight him with a baseball bat. And when I met him yesterday I felt safe in his arms, he has the aura of a champion :lol:
