That's not true. It was 10 months, not a year. PPV fighters who only fight twice a year on the Mexican holidays in May and September already go 8 months without fighting from September to May every single year. When Floyd only fought once per year that was 12 months. Many PBC fighters go 8-10 months between fights regularly. You act like Walters was off for three years or something. It was 10 months. By modern boxing standards, that's longer than normal, but it's not some huge layoff or anything. And they offered him the fight halfway through that period, he turned it down.
As for Gary Russell, I mean he looks like the best fighter at 126 in a division with some good offensive fighters, especially Santa Cruz, but he still looks like the best one there. Is he better than Indongo? Yes. Is he better than Postol? Yes that would be a 12-0 fight if they were in the same weight class unless Postol knocked him out, and Postol has a 50% KO percentage or something very low. So don't downplay Lomachenko's best wins to keep him off the P4P list unless you're willing to concede that they're still much better than Terence Crawford's best ones, and you keep him even further off the list than Lomachenko as a result.
In other words, be consistent.
if you want to be accurate, it wasn't 10 months. He was actually 3 weeks shy of 1 year of inactivity. For a person the size of walters fighting as a super featherweight, that is a pretty significant layoff. All of the rest of your comments are based on speculation and not fact. You're speculating that Russell Jr is the best at 126 with no substance to back it up other than what you believe you see. You're speculating that he's better than postol or Indongo and that he'd beat them. What are you basing that on? His dominant performances over c class fighters or beating an ancient 8 loss fighter in jhonny Gonzalez? Terrance Crawford has over 30 fights, hasn't lost yet, has been fighting credible Opposition for nearly 5 yrs, unified a division, so your comparison to a guy who only has 10 fights and lost 1 isn't a fair one.
So ? Lomachenko will weigh 140 on fight night + he is by far superior to Marroquin regarding skills & speed. Marroquin stood infront of Rigondeaux and he still hurt him with a poor left hook.
BTW ! K2 will sign Oleksandr "The Ukrainian GGG" Khyzhniak soon ! He is current Amateur European Champ and becomes Amateur World Champ at Middleweight today.

Dude your trying WAY too HARD!!! We get it. You have the biggest hard-on in the WORLD for Lomachenko. Your probably the one who has him P4P #1.
So what Rig. been dropped before?? You know what Rig. doesn't have that Lomachenko does??? A LOSS! And no amount of tears or crying is going to to get that back. But feel free to try... He also isn't dragging the 2nd guy in a row up divisions for fights.
And if Lomachenkjo wins good! Then call-out Mikey Garcia and YOU move up! And get LOSS #2.
