I think Pac could do some serious damage to Lomachenko. Looks to me like Lomo has reached his final weight. He goes up any more and he's gonna be in serious trouble against someone who's talented and can crack. I don't care how shot Pac may be, he's still got something left in the tank and he's been fighting WAY bigger dudes than Lomachenko. Bob may want to make the fight though cause there is not much to lose for Loma. If he loses, he gets a pass from the mainstream for jumping up again and testing himself ag aisnt a legend and if he wins he gets tons of praise for the same reasons. I think it could sell pretty well also.
Lol,
Linares is sub level and lighter than Pac and he did it to loma.:boxing:
****ing tards on this forum still amuses me,
Dont u know why pac is calling this boy years and not crawford. Coz he sees loma as same reward but a more minimal risk.
You may call pac old and out of prime now but his c level boxing is far greater than those a level boxing of the new comers.
Pac-loma at 140 is a mismatch but at 135lbs will be a very interesting fight.
Manny just doesn't do any work in his fights anymore. He's still very crafty and sets sh*t up well. But he can't fight at a high pace and hasn't done so for years. He's nearly 40. Ancient for someone who started at flyweight.
Genuinely think it would be death by a thousand cuts.

It's a no win situation for Loma and he knows it. If he wins so what Pac is old.. If he lose he got beat a old washed up legend.
Manny's straight left will put Loma on his ass a couple times but Loma might eke out a decision. I cant see Manny being completely embarrassed even at this stage.
Legacy wise it does nothing for Loma.
His legacy fight is Mikey Garcia.
I've said all along that I think Loma needs to stay at 135 and that 140 will be his undoing. With that being said, if you do go to 140 at some point this is the fight to go for. Pac is small, old and imo completely shot. Unfortunately for Loma, I don't think that big payday is ever going to get to him, cuz even old Matthysse is going to finish Pac man once and for all imo
despite his age , at 140 Pacman wins. too much power, and the weight advantage would be insane. Pac isn't what he used to be but he's still a major threat
That's what is interesting, because if Linares somehow "figured" Lomachenko enough to e competetive then lets see how Pac could figure out Lomachenko, whose experience on figuring out fighters much much much much more of higher level than Linares.
Linares probably worked hard in the gym for months and did his homework right. Is Pac willing to put that much work and dedication in training at his old age to defeat a youngster? That remains to be seen.
I'm not so sure man. Imagine someone as big as Easter in there lol. Dudes are killing themselves to make weights, they're all fighting a weight class lower than they probably should be. We've seen Garcia go to 140 and be strong and look just as big as the guys that were fighting there already. Pac may not be big compared to the guys he's fought for years but he's bigger than Lomachenko and definitely has way more power. He could get schooled but he's not completly shot yet I don't think. We will know for sure if he loses to Lucas though.
You are taking too much away from Linares there. Dude is a legit champ and definitely did his homework. He looked like he figured a lot of Loma's tricks in the middle rounds and probably trained for those situations for months. Regardless, end of the day, he was all cut up and too disheartened to continue probably so even if you figure out the science, it will still hit you like a truck apparently. I doubt Pac is putting even half of that much work in training trying to defeat Loma, considering his age. We will soon find out what new challenges Loma goes up against though. The hype train continues, choo choo. I still think he should go slower and stick to 135 for a year before thinking about moving up.
Loma went straight to the peak of 135. If he takes it slow, he can adjust to a higher weight division.
