Manny Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko at 130

Tell me when Loma becomes a lineal champ and king of a division. Until then, don't bother with threads like this. The lineage of 130 lbs kings. https://i.imgur.com/oj8HnIQ.jpg http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/jrlight.htm Quality of fighters has gone to sh.it over these years, probably the reason why there hasn't been a lineal champ at 130 since Pac vacated.

Stop daydreaming Pacquiao is never fighting at 130 again and Loma is never fighting at 147? https://media1.tenor.com/images/fb299ac3bfcd2a1f4047d85694d2175e/tenor.gif?itemid=4933558

Loma’s been dropped before by somebody nowhere near Pacquiao power. Loma might be box technically at first but once Pacquiao gets used to his punches, he goes in for the kill Tasmanian devil style and slaughters Loma. KO/TKO by round 6 or 7.

Actually a great fight to think about...I don't even really remember Pac at 130 but Loma was super special there

Pac late stoppage. Would be one hell of a fight though.

Pac's strength would be too much for Lom, adding that strength to his speed, and his own angles would net him a decision with Lom taking some punishment throughout the fight.

In terms of speed, footwork, and angles they are similarly matched, though I would give an edge to Pacquiao. In terms of power, remember that Pacquiao was knocking guys down at welterweight, whereas Loma seems already maxed out where is currently is. So because Pac has moderate edge in speed, footwork, and angles as well as a sharp edge in power, I'd say Pac vs Loma at 130 is heavily Pac-favored. Which is not to take anything away from Loma, who is a prodigy in his own right; it's just that Pac is a freak of nature.

Pac was just about at his best at 130, or at least about to be at his best. I think he pulls out a really tough fight.

- -Big fan of both. Obviously both one off fighters neither could find adequate sparring partners for. Manny had bukos rivals to test his mettle whereas Loma near no one to test him. We could see this yet, both already at their limits, so it could never answer the hypothetical.

Loma would give him a lot of issues because he is highly skilled and well trained, But he can not hurt Manny and Manny WILL hurt him

Manny's left hand under 135lbs was impossible to see unless you watch in slow motion. I can't see Loma getting out of the way of it. It's put just about everyone down 140lbs and below.

I think its a great fight but Manny will have the speed, power,size and maybe even the footwork advantage here

Both in prime? That would be an all-time battle. I'd favor Paq. No outcome would be out of the question though.

Pacquiao’s too dynamic and explosive. Loma would give him a hell of a fight though.
