    I spoke to him on Twitter a few months back and he confirmed he is going to be fighting at 135lbs.

    I want to see him fight Gamboa at some stage.

    Sounds right. I mean he's rated at featherweight, so I assumed he would've started as a professional at featherweight (126). Damn, would be crazy if he fought Rigo at catchweight or something. Like I said, there are way more challenges for him at 126 than at 130. You have a three headed monster at feather: Chris John, Mikey Garcia, and Abner Mares. Plus, Donaire and Santa Cruz flirting about going up. I hope he's the real deal like Rigondeaux. Would hate to be disappointed.

    Disciiplined, agile, very good footwork - fast feet and good use of angles.

    Hopefully he'll get to Gamboa before Gamboa retires.
    Would be an awesome fight.

    Against either of the 2 cubans would be great

    He looks sensational, all of the skills to be an ATG.
    The worst he'll be if he underperforms in his career is on the level of a 140lb Miguel Cotto.

    Wow, impressive.

    Never boxed as a pro and some people consider him as an ATG already.

    I have seen him a bit and was impressed, I hope he can deliver at the pro level (he basically has a pro style now). I think he will do great but you never know until he faces an elite pressure fighter who can walk him down. Sub 130 if starting to really heat up right now!

    One fighting style that will trouble Vasyl is Pacquiao's fighting style.

    I remember seeing two amateur fights where he fought pressure fighters, he was able to pick them apart. Whereas with Pac....Albert Selimov is the reason why I say this.

    Do you have actual elements to back it up or are you just throwing random accusations to tarnish a fighter's reputation ?

    no trouble at all? against a prime Pac?

    do you think he might be troubled by Pac's unbelievable speed and combination punching from all angles?

    or is that only the kind of thing that troubles mediocrities like Barrera, Morales, Miguel Cotto, Marquez and other assorted no-hopers?

    UKR, you are gonna make people hate the best prospect in the world dismishing legends like Pacquiao, Barrera and Morales.And I think that in a couple of years Lomachenko can even beat Pac, but dont act like it would be an easy work because definitly is not.
