All Rights Reserved, This is a BETA experience. But Davis is heavy-handed, even more so than Linares, and he’s quick inside the ring. So, who’s the best lightweight in the world, and how would the top-five—Vasiliy Lomachenko, Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcis—fare against each other if they put down their phones and got physical with each other in the ring?

For me, Lomachenko wins by close decision (somewhere in the 115-113 range).

Instead, they’ve taken to Twitter and other media outlets to trash talk each other. And Davis said Haney’s recent tweets trash-talking him were because “his dad told him to do that. We can make predictions about these fighters whether these matches ever come to fruition (and because it’s boxing, they probably won’t).

Davis doesn’t have a signature win yet, and he’d be motivated to make Lomachenko exactly that. He’d stop Garcia in the sixth round. While Lomachenko is already 32 years old and perhaps moving slightly past his peak, I think he’s still good enough to slip by Lopez by using his incredible footwork and phenomenal ring IQ to outmaneuver the longer-limbed and taller Lopez. Lopez is a big 135-pounder and eventually he’ll move on to 140 pounds. I’d say Lomachenko by decision (116-112). That reason is because that would lead to Davis’ first career loss.
