Maybe they put him in there with Gradovich.

I also don't think they'd throw Gradovich to the wolves (as crazy as it sounds with Lomo having 0 pro fights) hes only had 17 fights and won his title on short notice and he looked fantastic in his last fight, you can see him improving every day. I think they try to build Gradovich a little more, I've also heard that HBO really liked his last fight as well and are fans.

IBF - Gradovich
WBA - Chris John
WBC - Abner Mares
WBO - Salido/Cruz
So if Lomenchenko were to get a title shot it would have to be either Gradovich or Salido/Cruz. And if Donaire gets Salido/Cruz that just leaves Gradovich.
And Donaire can't fight Gradovich because they have the same trainer.

I think people are thinking to higly of Lomachenko. I recon he is a beats as an Amateurm but when I saw him fight verdejo, he didnt like his style will transition that well to the pros. He might beat some decent guys, but I think them rushing him will end up in a tragedy.
