Lomachenko was your career-defining fight Champ! You need a rematch, or you'll never be "The Best!" However, beating Tank would make you "One of the best!" Same with Shakur Stevenson! If he beats Valdez for that WBC title @ 130, you need to go get those straps at 130!
some boxers are like that one co-worker who comes in to work, does the bare minimum to not get fired and collect a check. not all boxers are chasing greatness, some are just here to collect a check and are happy fighting once a year or every other year.
Russell Jr. had that fight and he is one of the best but Loma beat him handily. Later when asked if he wanted a rematch with Loma he replied " as his last fight before retiring he wanted Loma". That sounds a lot like I really don't want to lose again.
