Yeah I think it just comes down to if you believe Lomachenko. If not, why would somebody call him a liar ? Truth is, there are a few fans who dislike Loma and spread negative propaganda.
From those videos, it seems to me he is saying that he prefers carving his own path to fame verses capitalizing on the fame of Manny Pacquiao. He feels that Manny is past his prime and the fight would be more hype than "part of his personal vision". At least that's how I understood it.
People have a right to disagree with his perspective or call him a diva, but he also has a right to his own perspective and vison. People can accuse him of being full of crap as well, but I don't see how that is really fair. I personally think it would be a great fight, but it's far off the path that Lomachenko is on. His sights are set on unifying the LW Division, and I don't see how he can be knocked for that.
There's only been 6 or so, unified champions in the last 20 years. I support any boxer going after that achievement.
There's a lot of trash- talk amongst fight fans. It's just the nature of the beast and the way this forum is. It's generally uncommon to expect objectivity and good will.
Some of these people arent even boxing fans and are just straight up pieces of **** who hate people not because of their skill but because of their skin color, nationality, and because their favorite fight isnt them.
All garbage ass opinions that add nothing positive to the sport.
I'm sorry if facts are an inconvenience to you.
Lomachenko on Rejecting Pacquiao: He's Old, I Think He's Done

I'll say again.
If you think Lomachenko is ducking Manny Pacquiao... You're a fool...
You sound like a moron. He's the best fighter on the planet for a reason. People are afraid to fight him. Man up, son.
The crazy thing is Loma is an inch taller than Manny and they pretty much walk around at 145 pounds.
Loma doesnt weigh more than 138. thats his weight in between fights. if he would take brakes from training, may be he would be around that, but man been doing 2-3 trainings per day for past 20+ years, taking brakes only when he is injured
The interviewer said Bob wants Manny to go to 135 and fight Lomachenko who says, IF, 135 then maybe.
All thr commentors think Loma is being humble as well as myself. Lomachenko didn't even ask for this fight. Bob did.
Keep in mind this was in 2016 when he was fighting at 130lbs.
When asked about 140 he said no. 140 is not my weight.
??????????

You might not like Loma. But thinking Loma would duck Pac would be the words of a little boy irritated....
Man up a little, son.

Loma is small with his pin head and tiny frame.
I’m sure they can both meet weight, but what’s the point? Neither have anything to gain
You seem upset. Lomachenko said he had no interest in fighting Pacquiao at 140 lbs when they were both with Top Rank.
That's just a fact.

It won't happen. Loma won't be able to make 140. not sure how Pac can drop to 135, but if he will, man will be drained. I would not mind watching this fight though. may be 137?

You can hate all you want. You’re a ****ing clown. He fights any and all comers.
You’re most likely just a troll but it is what it is. Wake up and stop being a ****.

Lomachenko said he didn't want that smoke. The ship has sailed, he's happy fighting the Crollas and Campbells now.

Its funny because Lomachenko has never name dropped pac. His vision has always been clear. He says he wants to unify the division. So far he's done a good job at collecting the belts. If he beats Campbell he will own 3/4 belts. His plans for after unifying 135? Going back to 130.
You such a liar claiming Lomachenko wants to weight drain Pac when Pac has never ever even been considered an opponent for him. Pac fights at 147 (has been for a decade now) and Lomachenko fights at 135.
Lomachneko is the same guy who said its dumb for Mikey to fight at 147. Same guy who said that there are weight classes for a reason.
Lomachenko never considered Pac an option.
I never knew it was a thing until his thread. Paq makes more money at 147 anyway and he had options to fill the next three years.
I'm just tired of seeing him fight bigger guys. How much weight you think Keith had on him last night? He needs to step down to 140 135lbs where he belongs. I know the bigger fights are at 147 but as he gets older I think the lower weights are where it's at.
A wise move for Manny would be a few more fights at a weight that he is comfortable with and then ride off in to the sunset. Why drain yourself at over 40 years old? Manny is an all time great with nothing else to prove. If the Khan offer was serious then he should jump on it. Low risk, high reward! The Saudis would pay well. Would love to see him in with Lipinets as well. Two obvious names to avoid: Crawford and Spence. Good luck to Manny whichever way he decides.
Lomachenko said he didn't want that smoke. The ship has sailed, he's happy fighting the Crollas and Campbells now.
Really low quality. Both Linares' leftovers. Linares himself is a C grade bum.
Pac is always saying he can fight at 135 and thats his natty weight. I want to see this fight. Does anyone else think this is the fight to make?
Loma is small with his pin head and tiny frame.

Fock it, if Manny says he can make 135, then go for it.
That's the kind of fighter he needs as his final battle.
Don't waste it against Khan, fight a Hall of Famer.

You missed boxing egos video then. Manny said he could make 135 and Loma said in one interview I posted hes still fast. In another interview he said hes to old and wouldnt fight him.
I'm a big Loma fan so I'm not hating. I just want to see them fight.
