As of right now, the lightweight division has exceptional talents that could end up being the best lightweight fighters in the division, the likes of Richard Commey, Mikey Garcia and Anthony Crolla could end up being the next lightweight champion, however Vasyl Lomachenko and Ryan Garcia are the two current fighters that could be at the top of the division!
Ryan Garcia is a 20-year-old fighter that has proven to the world what he can do already, being in 18 fights and winning all of them with 15 KOs in the process. He truly is a talented fighter. In his most recent fight against Jose Lopez, he said he wanted to fight bigger and better fighters to try and gain titles. The 20-year-old will be a champion one day… but when that days comes is a different matter. He started his professional career at the age of 18, however he has been boxing since he was 7 years old. Golden boy promotions have managed to get themselves a future star! Potential unbeaten record throughout his career.

They don’t call me the flash for no reason ⚡️next fight summer 2019 in July 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Vasyl Lomachenko is a Ukrainian powerhouse that has taken the lightweight division by storm! His first professional fight was for the WBO International Featherweight Championship, which he won via KO in the 4th round. Then after this went straight for the WBO World featherweight championship, however lost the bout via Split Decision. Since that bout, he has managed to win the WBA and WBO World lightweight championships. Currently hasn’t got a fight coming up, however he has won 13 fights out of 14 and all but 3 via KO.
Ryan Garcia v Vasyl Lomachenko could be the fight the lightweight division needs. Both fighters have incredible speed and have gone the distance in some of their fights, Garcia has went the distance in 3 of his fights, as Lomachenko has went the distance 4 times. This would be an incredible contest and could be the best fight of the year… if this ends up happening that is. Who would win?
