    What about Pacquiao vs. Walters if Walters wins?

    Arum keeps floating the idea of Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko but Walters is bigger than Lomachenko and 140 isn't to big for him. I don't think Lomachenko should be forced to go to 140 to fight Pacquiao. Walters on the other hand should probably be fighting at 140 anyway. Would y'all be OK with Walters vs Pacquiao at 140?

          Walters is bigger, yes. But the fight wouldn't be as attractive commercially I think. But yeah walters has very long reach. But height is the same than Loma. Maybe a bit heavier than Loma too.

            Seems like with Rigo before the Donaire fight, doesn't seem like it is plans for Walters if he wins because I don't think Arum wants him to win. He clearly sees more money to be made in Loma if he wins so Walters likely needs a Knockout or a few knockdowns to win this one but clearly Arum has bigger plans for Loma if he wins

              140 is too much even for Walters.... he may walk around quite heavy but he's far from fighting shape when he's in that state.

                If Walters beats Lomachenko, he will fight Pacquiao. In spite of what he says, the only non Top Rank fighter that Arum is willing to put Pacquaio in the ring with is Mayweather and that rematch is not happening.

                If Walters beats Lomachenko, Arum will make Pacquaio/Walters at 140 in April 2017, with a promise (sound familiar) that Pacquaio's next opponent will be Mayweather. After the Pac/Walters fight, Arum will conveniently forget what he said about Mayweather and make Pacquaio/Crawford in November 2017. Pacquaio will lose to Crawford and actually retire!

                  Is this Bob Arum?

                    I wouldn't be as excited for it. Walters isn't technically gifted enough to overcome the size difference fighting at 140. Walters relies a lot on his size/power to beat opponents and that becomes more limited as he moves up. If Loma were to fight at 140, he's doing it based on skill.
