I don't agree with that. I don't think fighting for vacant titles and Lamont Peterson is a waste of a career.You aren't stupid.
You do understand that Danny Garcia can have a great resume and still spend the majority of 5 years fighting the easiest opponents he possibly can. And that after losing to Thurman he took more than a full year off because Thurman was hurt and Garcia didn't want to fight anyone else in the meantime. And that a bloated Rios was a joke of a fight for a guy that just fought for multiple belts.
You also understand that reasonable people don't consider Loma the best ever. Or think he's some god of boxing. You just take the lamest opinion some idiot spouts and paint EVERYONE with it to try and make your shitty arguments stick. It doesn't work. Loma is a great boxer but he has 11 fights in divisions where even the top opponents aren't the most well known guys.
Obviously Garcia has a better resume. He's been fighting more than twice as long.
Obviously if you compare their first 11 fights Loma fighting guys with 308 wins and 27 losses shits all over Garcia fighting guys with 15 wins and 30 losses.
I think Lomachenko is a great talent but he hasn't proven he's a great boxer in the historical sense yet. He's a pretty blatant cherry picker who never really did much to earn the right to cherry pick but you guys celebrate his resume like its Ray robinson minus the tomato cans. People always like to leave out his pro style fights in the Boxing World series or whatever they were. They were pro style fights.
Lomachenko made the decision to fight tough fights early on and thats admirable. But he lost one of them, never avenged it and it counts. Since then his opposition has been a let down and everyone knows it. Where's the criticism? Why aren't we posting gifs of him showboating against a 38 year old bantamweight and talking about how shameful it is? Why does he get a pass for calling out Gervonta Davis when Garcia and Linares are calling him out?
You know what it is. We have our favorites. I admit mine and I don't attach legend status to them because I like them.
