Former world champion Andriy Kotelnik assessed the chances of Vasyl Lomachenko to win the title of asbolute world champion in the lightweight division.

"Not everything depends on Lomachenko. Americans, on the other hand, always want their boxers to become champions, not someone else. The strong can't always win all the belts, as they say. Foreman? It's a super heavyweight category and everyone walks the walk 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? He 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. If you collect belts gradually, it will be hard. If he fights for all titles at once, like Haney, it's more likely.
