Comments Thread For: Arum Considers Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko For Sometime In 2017

It would definitely want to see this more then any other fight,
Lomachenko probally gonna fight Flanagan first @ 135 since Warren and Arum are allready talking about it.
Then Pacquiao or Gamboa,after that Linares,by the end of next year Lomachenko will be P4P,and Mikey G is also a possibility...

I'd accept it if Lomachenko had at least 2 fights at 140 or at least a victory against a TOP boxer at the weight.

But no, just not happening given their timelines. It would take time for Lomachenko to move up weight classes and make the necessary adjustments.

Lomachenko did already fought as an amateur at 135,o it will not be like he never competed at that weight,think Flanagan is next after Walters,Warren is talking to Arum about bringing Loma to the UK

It's a fantasy matchup but sometimes it's one of those things I'd like to see. Lomachenko's skilled enough that he may be able to pull it off.

This will be a good fight, and even though Manny is bigger, he hasn't faced a top level southpaw in over 10 years!

I think this is a very bad style match up for Manny Pacquiao; Eespecially at a 135lb. Lomachenko will not only punish him badly at this stage of his career but just may do even worse by retiring or stopping him by way of TKO.

Manny is past his prime and fighting solely for money which I find very sad. He doesn't stand a chance against a hungry and young lion.

At this point, Pac is beyond his physical peak; While approaching 40 years of age, from a boxing career that has spanned more than 20 years.

[pasawayako]

even this past prime 140 pac he will beat any current 135-147 fighter.

Lomachenko is far from the level of Pacquiao, 10-1,

[b00g13man]

I don't understand why we'd want to entertain this.

[Build That Wall]

I would love this fight.

Of course you would cuz you're sick. You love those sacrificial lamb fights cuz that is what this matchup would exactly be.

[Mike D]

even though Walters will beat Lomachenko on Saturday and possibly KO him.

Walters ain't on that level homie, Loma about to snatch his soul from him and he don't even realize it
