My Take
Vasyl Lomachenko is the boxer who most makes me lean toward the screen. At just 170 cm he collected world titles from featherweight up to lightweight, and his footwork is closer to dance than combat. The angles, the unseen punches, the way he seems to play chess while throwing leather, it is artistry under pressure. That he also served as a soldier and earned Ukraine's Orders of Merit only deepens my respect. I am stingy with the word genius, but here it fits without apology. His short pro run, 2013 to 2024, distilled a purity of craft that boxing will recount for a long time.
