Say if Lomachenko ever fights and somehow beats both Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson - Where would you rank Loma all-time?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Obviously this is a pure hypothetical question at this point, if Loma ever did fight these guys and beat them.

Would you rank Loma in the top 10 of all-time boxers?

Beating Shakur and Tank wouldn't make anyone a top 20 all time boxer.

Than what would Loma have to do to make him in the top 20?

Top 20 all time? A lot more than he has in what little time he has left. It's just not possible.

The problem is he spent so long in the amateurs. You could think of him as one of the best pro/amateur fighters with great achievements in both, but people typically just rank for pro accomplishments. If he did all that though he would be the best in 3 division across 10 years and quite a lot of his fights he dominates great opponents, so I think that would put him in the top 20. To really cement his legacy though he should have gone down in weight for the Rigo fight. No amount of dehydration was going to make him lose that fight.

Even if he’d beaten both Haney and Lopez and went up and blanked Prograis and Taylor like they did it probably wouldn’t be enough because only Taylor would be considered any kind of signature win in that universe. Loma got nothing from his wins but criticism but his opponents who beat him got cred because of his amateur career. Kinda a weird double standard Lomas career suffers from
