Who is the best lightweight in the world right now?

Vasiliy Lomachenko lightweight

Youโ€™ve got to rate George Kambosos as number one because heโ€™s the man who beat the man. However I would back Vasiliy Lomachenko to beat all of them.

I think Lomachenko by a fair stretch. He got caught on the hop a bit by Teรณfimo Lรณpez and thatโ€™s taking nothing away from Teรณfimo. He was slow out the gate and gave himself a mountain to climb. Then Teรณfimo got caught with complacency against George Kambosos.

For me itโ€™s Lomachenko as he has by far the best resumรฉ in the division and is the most complete fighter. His only loss was to Teรณfimo Lรณpez after a long layoff and I believe he wins a rematch.

Vasiliy Lomachenko is the only genius at the weight so Iโ€™d have to pick him, especially as Teรณfimo Lรณpez will surely never weigh 9st 9lb again. That said, Loma vs Gervonta Davis is THE fight in the division.
