I don't see any reason why anyone would hate on Lomachenko, tremendous skills, the closest to being complete out of all the young fighters out there, fought 3-4 very good fighters in his first 8 fights, champion in 2 weight divisions. The way he handled Gary Russell and Walters was a sight to behold.
I disgree however with the comparison to GGG, I think GGG gets way too much credit, this guy has been a pro for more than 10 years now, only has 1 current MW champion on his resume which is the B level Lemieux, fought 1 former MW titilist in Geale who was well past it and got KOed by Cotto, and 1 former 154 lbs titlist in Kassim Ouma, and his best opponent to date is Kell Brook who has 1 legit very close win on his resume against Shawn Porter at WW. Comparing Lomachenko's accomplishments and skillset to GGG's is ridiculous and I really hoped that GGG would take the route Lomachenko took when he first turned pro back in the day. GGG's career to me has been such a disappointment with all the skills and potential that he had.
