Now, enter Vasyl Lomachenko, a powerhouse in his own right, acclaimed for his unique footwork and unrivaled boxing IQ. Lomachenko, while discussing legends of the sport, didn’t hold back his admiration for Mayweather. He remarked, “Nobody wins [against] Mayweather. His defense is the best.” Elaborating further, Lomachenko highlighted Mayweather’s speed and power. However, he also touched upon a lesser-discussed aspect: Mayweather’s hand problems.

Transitioning from his praise, Lomachenko pondered over a hypothetical duel with Mayweather, saying, “If I fight Mayweather and he use this [the shoulder roll], I don’t know, I need to see and think about this. I need preparation for this. I need a lot of time to think about this.”

It’s fascinating how boxing transcends punches and jabs. Here, respect shines as a testament to the sport’s true essence. The praise from Lomachenko serves as a reflection of Mayweather’s indomitable spirit and unparalleled achievements.

Lomachenko’s Grievances Over Mayweather’s Handling of Gervonta Davis Bout

The respect Vasyl Lomachenko has for Floyd Mayweather’s boxing acumen does not extend to the latter’s management decisions. The Ukrainian boxing maestro has previously expressed frustration over Mayweather’s perceived role in stalling a highly anticipated clash with Gervonta Davis. Lomachenko has been quite vocal about his willingness to step into the ring with ‘Tank’ Davis, yet the political machinations within the boxing sphere seem to have put a roadblock in the way of this exciting matchup.

According to Lomachenko, Mayweather’s insistence on keeping Davis fighting exclusively on Showtime, and against opponents they believe are favorable, is keeping the boxing community from witnessing what could potentially be a legendary fight.

As Lomachenko said, “I always said I’m open for the fight, but you know boxing politics. Floyd Mayweather said every time, ‘We have our way and forget about us, we’re making money.’ They fight only on Showtime and with guys who they believe they can [beat].” This contention showcases the intricacies and hurdles that fighters and their management teams face in orchestrating bouts that the fans are clamoring for.

As Loma navigates through these behind-the-scenes roadblocks, his acknowledgment of Mayweather’s boxing techniques reveals a complex relationship between admiration for skill and discontent with the politics overshadowing the sport.

So, who do you think would win in a hypothetical matchup between Floyd and Lomachenko? Also, should Gervonta Davis fight Loma next?
