Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao is Too Big, Lomachenko is Not That Good

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is completely on board with Bob Arum's idea for 2017 - to make a dream fight between Manny Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38KOs) vs. Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4KOs).

Pac vs. Loma @ 140, Roach says YES! Pac vs. Crawford @ 140, Roach says NO! What's that tell you?

PAcquiao LAte TKO, he wont have that Size deficit anymore. He will be the bigger man going in.

They're all TR fighters... Why would Arum sacrifice his next cash cow in Loma to Manny?

Or is that a loss to Manny would be less damaging to Loma than it would be to Crawford.


Either way... Loma IS still too small for Manny... He can still make 126! And he's going to suddenly jump up to 140?

I think Arum is eager for Loma to move up to 140 where all the big fights can be made.

Poochquiao and his team of dirty lying politicians promoting the cherrypick vargas fight with fake stories hahahahahahahaha!!!

Scared to fight crawford at 140 but now want loma at 140....... Cuckroach needs his medicine because his memory is shot!

I like it, make it happen

Always believed Loma would get the Manny fight over TC. TC has the Omaha fanbase. Loma needs to develop a fanbase. Fighting and beating Manny in a high profile Vegas fight would be the best chance for him to do that.

WOuldn't be surprised if Loma/Manny happens in late 2017 or early 2018 at 140, assuming Manny can still make 140.

I want to see more of these crazy match ups like Canelo-Khan, GGG-Brook, and now Pacquiao-Lomachenko if it happens. It's too bad the elite fighters aren't doing this. Or maybe that's what makes them elite, the fact that they don't take on bigger challenges. I think Loma is the first elite fighter thinking of doing this, since Pac did it vs DLH

Pretty interesting, I rather Pac fight TC. Honestly would have prefered either over Vargas though lol.

This makes no sense. Why would arum want this fight? Only thi that would make sense is if he thinks loma would beat manny. Having manny beat loma wouldn't help anybody
