Gervonta Davis Names the Best Active Lightweight Boxer

Published 11/26/2021, 9:18 AM EST

The lightweight division consists of some stellar young guns like Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Gervonta Davis. All of these stalwarts have the ability to allure millions of boxing fans with their aggressive yet captivating fight styles.

But among all these young guns, there’s one established veteran who’s predominantly the best lightweight of this era.

Recently, ‘Tank’ was in a chat with Brian Custer. Here, he mentioned the best active lightweight boxer.

“I mean..is it..I can’t..I say Lomachenko cause he done more,” he said.

Just like Davis, many others regard ‘Loma’ as one prime lightweight boxer of all time. The Ukrainian boxer is a sensational fighting personality who’s done wonders in the sport. However, last year, Lomachenko let Teofimo Lopez pull off an upset, ending up on the losing side.

Since this loss, ‘Loma’ is eager to settle his scores with ‘The Takeover.’ However, the latter has a fight aligned already with George Kambosos Jr., and because of that, it doesn’t seem like Lomachenko will get his hands on Lopez soon.

The former champ has continued his stint, irrespective of getting aligned against ‘The Takeover.’

In his last outing, Lomachenko beat Masayoshi Nakatani. With that, he was hopeful of getting a rematch with Lopez. But ‘The Takeover’ is keen on moving up a weight class, and ‘Loma’s aspiration to beat his rival might not come to fruition.
