The Ring Magazine just updated their June top ten Lightweights (135lbs) list! While the list still contains the same figures it was initially composed of, there are a few noticeable changes. Although Gervonta Davis had initially occupied the no. 1 spot on the list, after ‘Tank’ vs. Frank Martin, Vasyl Lomachenko and Davis swapped places leading fans to beg for Loma vs. Davis.
Gervonta Davis had yet to make his return after the win against Ryan Garcia when Vasyl Lomachenko had tested himself against Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. Against Haney, Loma had a commendable performance which made several people question the decision of the fight delivered in Devin’s favor. Later, the Ukrainian boxer made a startling comeback by capturing an eleventh-round TKO against former Unified Lightweight champion, George Kambosos Jr. to win the IBF Lightweight title.
However, per the Ring Magazine, Vasyl Lomachenko remained no. 2 as Gervonta Davis, although inactive, was still undefeated in the sport. On the 15th of June, ‘Tank’ returned to KO Frank Martin in the eighth round of their fight with a thudding overhand. But despite the victory, the Ring Magazine has pushed ‘Tank’ behind Lomachenko.

Similarly, a fan felt it was necessary for Lomachenko to defeat Davis and justify his rank. So they wrote, “We getting 1 vs. 2 then.”
Meanwhile, one felt Loma did not deserve the No. 1 position. For the same reason, they branded the list as “Blasphemous.”
On the other hand, one was upset because George Kambosos Jr. was nowhere to be seen. At the same time, they could not understand Raymond Muratalla’s position on the list.
Finally, one fan could not accept the list by Ring Magazine. “Not in the slightest if I’m honest…” they added.
