The legendary boxer has criticized the Ukrainian’s fast path to the world championship in the past.
Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather shared his opinion about the career of Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko.
According to the famous American, the Ukrainian should not have fought for the championship so quickly after switching from amateurs.
“I deserve my chance. But there is a guy like Lomachenko… How many fights did he have there, 400 fights as an amateur? Yes, he is a professional in his field, but he should not have been allowed to fight for the belt. in his third or fourth fight as a pro.
I had 17 fights in a year and a half – and that’s when I got to the championship fight against Genaro Hernandez. So I deserve it. They didn’t give me anything like that,” Fight Hub TV quoted Mayweather as saying.
Remember that Lomachenko in the spring will fight for the absolute championship in the lightweight division with Devin Haney.
In the past, a potential rival for Lomachenko has been determined if he beats Haney.
