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

[PAC-BOY]

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.

If pac walks around at 141 how in the world could he not be healthy at 135 or 140. Its 5 -6lbs he has to loose then rehydrate. Dont see ur logic.

"140 is the weight I walk around at when I'm not training for a fight. So that is no issue and even 135 would be easy for me to make."

Nice article. Two year old article... Surely his body is the same two years later right?

Once again, Pacqiaou isn't even a 147 pound fighter. He doesn't even make that weight class, because he's too small. He fought Antonio Margarito at 144.5, at junior middleweight (Margarito weighed in at 150, but he surely rehydrated plenty after the weigh in).

He's only weighed in at a full 147 twice, in the first Bradley fight and third Marquez fight, and ironically he lost both fights (they were close/controversial--Bradly especially--but he still lost these ones).

And your eating habits are quite irrelevant when speaking about the competition diet of a professional fighter.

Manny surely uses a high class nutritionist, and uses a diet to put on weight, which is not something a welterweight fighter would typically do. The norm is to go down in weight. The only reason Manny is at 147 is because that's where the big fights are (same goes for Marquez).

Just because he doesn't weigh in at the full 147lbs it doesn't necessarily mean he's a 140 pound fighter. Why can't he be in between? Like I said, the 135 pound talk is NONSENSE. 140? Might be doable but I wouldn't like his chances.

One of the few things I agree with Freddy about is Manny taking this fight at 140 not 135. At 135 Manny would be on the other end of what he did to De la Hoya.

This is so random, but so awesome at the same time. I'd pay to watch this fight, and who knows at this weight, and at this age. Manny could get the stoppage, and he can also get schooled in this one. Tough fight to call. But man, Manny would probably come into the ring what he comes in at WW, so we could be dealing with a massacre, but most likely, he'd be smaller at this weight, come fight night.

Meh, I'd watch it, which probably means it won't happen

Nice article. Two year old article... Surely his body is the same two years later right?

he just now didnt decide to grow up and become a big boy within two years. And he stays in shape. SO i doubt hes added that much body fat in A whole two years. Its not like he walks around at 154 or 147 and has to add weight to make 147. He adds weight. always has. Which a little common sense would suggest that hes around 140 or slightly under.

I think if manny were to lose 5 pounds? He would WRECK LOMA. lol He was BIG for featherweight up through 140. REMEMBER RICKY HATTON WAS UNDEFEATED AT 140 till Manny killed him. Remember Olympian David Diaz held the WBC belt at 135 Before moving up to 147 to destroy oscar to only put him on a coke binge.... Remember, Pacquiao is not an ordinary fighter. Anyone hatin on him probably has a ****ty life themselves lol. Loma is aggresive and thats NOT the way to fight manny. Everyone post Bradley 1, has been countering 95% of the time. Its made manny look slow.. He aint slow.... All those other fighters before bradley were aggresive masters and they got WRECKED....

You have a bad memory. Ricky wasn't undefeated.... Did you forget his date with a turnbuckle after Floyd's check hook?
