Former world boxing champion Andriy Kotelnik believes that Vasyl Lomachenko is able to unify all lightweight titles in his hands.

Yesterday, May 12, the Ukrainian knocked out George Kambososos in the 11th round and won the vacant IBF belt.

"Not everything depends on Lomachenko. Americans, on the other hand, always want their boxers to become champions, not someone else. Not always the strongest can win all the belts, as they say. Foreman is a super heavyweight category and everyone walks there, you could say. Here we can't compare how many punches they throw and how many they throw at lightweight. The intensity is different. Hopkins didn't have an amateur career like Vasili did. Does he have 300+ fights? No. The body's resource is not infinite.

And in general, Loma can become an absolute in time. If you collect belts gradually, it will be hard. If, like Haney, fight for all the titles at once, then more chances", - said Kotelnik.
