Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao is Open To Facing Vasyl Lomachenko at 135

[Bronx2245]

I think this is the best fight for Pacquiao, but I agree with Roach, it should be @ 140! This is a much safer fight than a fight with Crawford @ 140!

So Lomachenko's walk around weight is 138 ...and thinks adding 2 pounds is too much.

PAC's walk around weight is 140-141 and has been competing at 147 since 2009.

Perspective.

... Manny is able to make 135... But "cui prodest"?... This isn't a big money fight for him, I think...

Lomachenko would give Pac a hellacious beating, similar to the beating Floyd coulda given him if he chose to fight him more aggressively. Pac would be **** up in the mid rounds.

Coulda shoulda but didn't

I used to think Pacquiao would kill him, but after what I saw Saturday, I'd give Lomachenko a very good chance.

Ummm Pacquiao beats him at 140-147 but he can't make a HEALTHY 135. Im not even sure he can make a healthy 140 tbh.

I think that Manny said "135lb" only because he doesn't want to be called a duck...

Well, that wouldn't make any sense cause if he doesn't fight him now then they'll say he ducked Lomachenko. Lol

Make it at 137 catch weight. Lomachenko wins this all day long - way too much movement for Pac.

... tbh, I don't understand why he came back -- it was a financial disaster...
