If Loma = Ali, why can't he meet Pac at 140

pacquiao took such a beating in his "win" vs thurman he may never fight again

Floyd and Pac went up two divisions to fight Oscar Canelo is now going up two divisons to fight Kovalev Mikey Garcia went up two divisions to fight Spence, he failed, but he still did it. Why can't Loma go up ONE division at 140 to fight an old and part-time fighter Pacquiao that will boost his popularity worldwide and make the most he'll ever make in a single fight? WHY? WHY? - -TUE 50-0 never went up two div in his misbegotten life, but Manny jumped 3 div after Fly and then Lightwt to welter for a fight against Oscar that TUE not only ducked out on in the middle of promotions, but retired, the first of many retirements when the heat got too hot. Why don't Loma fight Ali @ 168? We wanna know!

Loma=Ali is just promotional bS from Arum. That's says more about you for taking it serious in the first place lol

I agree. I don't really care if a boxer stays in one weight class their whole career. The question is, is he fighting the best in the division? Too bad Loma's division sucks, which makes people ask for him to fight a name boxer at least (Pac being the obvious example). Mikey another. The division is spiced up now with Davis. Is Loma gonna waste his time pursuing trinkets? you have never asked tank that question

Excellent question my brother. Nobody knows the answer. Maybe it could be that the experience with Siri Salido hurt Lomachenko really deep in his psyche so he doesn’t want to take those unnecessary risks anymore, especially with weight. Also Pac is a legendary fighter, if we put Loma and Pac in there primes, it would be a brutal knockout. The real problem with Loma is that he isn’t fighting the rest of this year.. he wants to fight the winner of Commey and Lopez, but depending on how that fight goes, it could literally be a whole 10-13 months he doesn’t fight. Dude is in his 30s fighting one fight a year and beating B class British fighters. Definition of a great white hope. However history exposes all, always remember that. And history won’t be kind to Lomachenko he's had 2 fights in 2019, 2 in 2018, 3 in 2017.

These types of threads have a pretty obvious motivation. People want a way to denigrate Loma. So they dream up some kind of 'test' which he has to pass in order to meet their deranged criteria of 'greatness'. In this case, the criteria is moving up in weight divisions. It is weird that we have people - who believe that they know about boxing - pretending that greatness means fighting above your best weight class. It's an arbitrary threshold created by people who just want some rationalisation or excuse to withhold Loma his due respect. I agree.

Loma doesn't dictate to Pacquiao! Besides if Loma want to fight the big boy's he has to move up in weight not the other way around.

Loma doesn't need to move anywhere. All he needs to do is beat Davis, the rest would be a bonus. He should target specific money fights. This, he's moving down to 130 BS, is stupid. Loma is at the conclusion of his career. Fight only big money fights.

WHY?Because it's his career and his choice not yours, He is a featherweight fighting at lightweight and that should be more than enough, But no, you want him to lose at 140. Not going to happen.

If Loma = Ali ?.... Well, he doesn’t. And even if he did , wtf does that have to do with climbing another weight class? Pretty sure Ali spent his career fighting in the hw division, the open class of boxing. Loma is already fighting against opponents who are bigger, taller and heavier. If he can do that and wrap up all of the titles at 135, that would be a much greater accomplishment than fighting a drained down 40 year old welter at 140.

Who the hell compared Loma to Muhammad Ali? When was the last time Loma was a big underdog in a fight like Ali was against Foreman? That would be the legacy fight for Loma since he would be a favorable underdog! IMO I think him and his team knows that Pacquiao is too much even if Pacman could make 135 healthy! 135 Prime Pacman would be too much for Loma!

i cry on this one Keep on crying. Your tears are delicious.

Fighting pac does nothing for lomachnenko. biggest joke so far :D

They "moved up" two divisions but both had held titles at 154. Both pac and Mayweather fought also fought at 147 for years. One division. They had the size. Same with Mikey Garcia. Moved up 2 divisions for Spence but was a world title holder at 140? Canelo has fought as super middle twice? And has held the WBA regular title at 168? And now Canelo is fighting Kovalev who just let everyone know that he's cashing out too. Fighting pac does nothing for lomachnenko. All you fans think that all boxers only care about money or popularity but they dont. Lomachenko exhibit A. Do you see him making the typical A side trash demands that all these divas are making? No. Dont compare him to trash.

WHY? those guys except pac only went up 1 division but maybe he doesnt want to go up anymore divisions? yeah if he beat pac he would be a star like jeff horn :nana:

First, Who the hell said Loma = Ali? And Loma has already gone up a number of divisions. Why are you making it sound like it would be his first?

Has Pacquiao said he is willing to go down to meet Loma at 140? I wouldnt mind that fight at all but im not hearing much about Loma moving up to 140 any time soon. PAC is willing to fight loma @ 138 ... years ago he is willing @ 135 .... LOMA dont want a piece of GrandPa PAC even @41
