vasyl lomachenko

maybe welterweight. MAYBE.

He's 26 already, I'd say his ceiling is 140.

Agreed. The older these guys turn pro the less they can bulk. Vasyl is a very good boxer, but his strengths are movement, speed and accuracy. More muscle comes at the expense of the first two.

TBH it is still too early to say given his performance against Salido (though I put that down more to his professional inexperience than anything), but I think he'd still remain a top level fighter at 135 and likely at 140 once he's matured into the pro game. Wait'n'see I guess, speculation beyond a coupla years and a coupla weightclasses is simple guesswork, but I'd be impressed if he finds top level success as high as WW starting this late.

I'm a fan of his, but I don't think he should attempt to move up too high. If he couldn't drop a midget in Russell after hitting him at will, I don't think his power will carry up too high.
