Lomachenko is touted as the best boxer by a lot and they say he is special. Yet he is an inch taller and walks around heavier than manny pacquiao but refused to fight manny because as he said he didnt want to beat up an old man?:lol1: pac was even willing to go down to 142 for loma.
I respect lomas skills but if he is so great why did he duck pacquiao. Some loma fans even said he is greater than pacman. He blew the chance of a lifetime beating pac would have made him famous and after he could have went back to 135.
Then they said he was too small for even 135 but that conditioning coach said lomachenko started camp at 154 pounds and weighed in at 145 pounds for the 30 day weights.
So that excuse of loma is too small is out the window dude walks around more than pac in weight, if he were great do what pacman and floyd did. If your skills are greater than pacman why not go up in weight too?
Skills pay the bills right. Seems like he ducked old man pacquiao.
You answered your question yourself. I'm glad he didn't take the fight - it would only add fuel to the hating talk that is blooming here. Huge respect to Loma for not trying to ride big names that are way past their prime
The only intelligent answer so far
pacman comes into the ring 148 pounds soaking wet fighting guys who weigh 160 plus on fight night. Loma has an inch in height and walks around at 150, they can fight a one off to see who is the real boss of that style.
So you still don't get the difference between fight weight and walking weight?
He claim he didnt want to beat an old man, yet he brought up old man rigo two division to fight him and still couldn't drop him
1. It was not Loma who brought this fight. Loma was asking for Rigo fight when Loma was 126 and Rigo refused (there's a video where Rigo ducks him). Later, it was Rigo who hired a twitter guy to trash-talk 130 Loma to finally make a fight when Rigo was past his prime and Loma was 130.
2. Rigo didn't get dropped only because he quit when he smelled KO coming.
It seems you dont like pacquiao
BS. I have a lot of respect to Pacquiao and I was backing him in Thurman fight.
If pacquiao is nothing to loma and just a basic normal southpaw why loma didnt fight him? Dont say pac is too big, pacman comes into the ring 148 pounds soaking wet fighting guys who weigh 160 plus on fight night. Loma has an inch in height and walks around at 150, they can fight a one off to see who is the real boss of that style. He claim he didnt want to beat an old man, yet he brought up old man rigo two division to fight him and still couldn't drop him
It seems you dont like pacquiao and want to act like he never existed i can guarantee you whether loma admits to it or not he copied those moves watching pacman as a kid. Only difference is pacman has power on his shots, while loma just pity pat and get out. Pacman is the man known for that ambush style you just want loma to get all the credit.
I like loma but he lost my respect he had a chance to be great by destroyed old pacman, he ran instead.
Yo. I know you see this.
Where is the source for Lomachenko walking around at 154lbs outside of camp.
Wheres the source?

Yo. I see you're still replying to your own thread and completely ignored my request for your source that Lomachenko walks around at 154.
Still waiting on it.
Loma is a converted southpaw, which is not the same as just southpaw. His main hand is in front and it gives own advantages over just southpaw or orthodox stances. Pacquiao is a "normal" southpaw AFAIK.
Side stepping is not smth that was invented by Manny and it has much older roots.

When was the last time Loma fought a mexican?
Only Salido so far :lol1:
Marquez, Morales, and Barrera in their prime would smoke Loma
Those 3 atg are too much for loma.

Got a source for this?
Lomachenko still has Salido problems. A well past his best Salido at that. People seem to forget that Loma has lost to a decent, but not great fighter in a bout that was brilliantly refereed by Laurence Cole. Some of Salido's body work was outstanding and Loma couldn't handle it.
That was 5 years ago. Salido is 38, shot and semi or permanently retired. Hasnt fought in 2 years. Its too late for a meaningful rematch, Loma should have made that years ago.
Pac is 148-150 on Fight night.
Loma fights at 135 but hes been 138-141 on fight night.
There are most definately fighters that weigh the same as Pac that Loma already fought. Most fighters at 135 are going to be 145-150 on fight night.
The difference is Pac is far more skilled. Its a blatant duck.

Most of the time you trash Pac and now you trash Loma for not fighting him at 142 pounds. I don't give a damn about all your walking around weight BS. Pacquiao is a much bigger man.Loma can easily make 126 as he was doing not long ago. Pac might barely make 135. Pac weighed 146.5 for Thurman looking hard as a rock. Loma would be very soft at that weight. Loma would be very soft at that weight. Pac is at least a ten pound bigger man than Loma. Loma is a very small lightweight and should not fight above 135. Pacquiao will never agree to go to 135 today. Pac is great and Loma is great. Just leave them alone and let them be great in their own weight class.
OP dosen't understand the difference between body mass, body fat, and lean muscle mass.
Loma's not bigger than Pacquaio, stop trolling.
You're focusing too much on Loma's walk around weight and forgetting about the body frame size, muscle mass, water weight, bone density and all that jazz.

Lomachenko is bigger than Pacquiao, Why didn't he take the Pac fight when offered? | BoxingScene Community
