What do you think Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez should do next?

Teofimo Lopez vs Vasiliy Lomachenko

World title challenger

Boxing fans can be so fickle. Heโ€™s lost and now theyโ€™re acting like Lomachenko still isnโ€™t a great. Loma could request a rematch or go back down. He has lots of options. Lopez has always said he goes up and thereโ€™s some great fights for him. Everyone will want to derail that train.

If I was Lomachenko I would desperately try and to get the return. His legacy could do with avenging that loss. However, if I was Lopez I would be looking to move up to 140lbs and try to become a multi-division king. Fighting the Josh Taylor-Jose Ramirez winner would be huge.

Rematch. I thought Lopez won clearly so I donโ€™t believe heโ€™s in any way obliged to offer it but a rematch would be massive. But if Lopez has outgrown 135lbs then heโ€™ll have to move up and Lomachenko will have a problem as the Lopez rematch will be the only fight heโ€™ll want.

Lopez just completed lightweight so a move up is a must. A fight against the winner of Taylor-Ramirez fight would be colossal. For Loma: Gervonta Davis, Mikey Garcia at lightweight; Shakur Stevenson and Miguel Berchelt at super-feather. Selfishly, I hope we see him again.
