Why was Vasyl Lomachenko criticized?
Lomachenko dominated the lighter divisions for a while now. He was the fastest two-weight and three-weight world champion in the sport in terms of fights. Plus, the Ukrainian sat atop the P4P list. However, it all changed after his loss against Teofimo Lopez.
Many felt he was finished and should retire. A few others felt he should move down in weight, while the other lightweight contenders also called for him to move down in weight. Despite this, it seems like the Ukrainian wants to prove a point in this division.

Who he fights is the tough question. On his day, he can beat the best in the world. However, given the severity of his injury, we suspect he will take a fight against lower-ranked opposition to get in the groove again.
