This kind of fight could be justified if there is a promotional opportunity to sell it as something like "the only time in the history of boxing" and there is a real demand for such a fight by TV networks. But I doubt that's the case, given that Lomachenko is not well known in the US yet.
Otherwise it does not make sense to rush and it's much better to build him as a star gradually. Strength of competition is not so important here, much more important is promotional part of his career.
