        Three things:
        • Arum is hellbent on forcing Lomachenko to move up again. He made him move up from 126 so Valdez can get the belt after Lomachenko was talking about unifying. Now he's trying to make him move up again to fight Pacquiao?!?!?
        • Arum is doing everything he can to avoid the Pacquiao/Crawford fight. If Pac is fighting Lomachenko at 140 why can't he fight Crawford at 140?
        • Walters can only win by KO. If Arum is already talking about Lomachenko fighting Pacquiao, Walters aint winning on the cards.

            I'm sorry, Lomanchenko is a ****ing super-featherweight and im not buying the bull**** that Pacquiao can make 140 or 135.

            Crawford, Thurman, Garcia, Brook, Spence

            those are the only names Pacquiao should be thinking about.

              Not even if it was the last fight that could be made in boxing! This fight is so ****** and pointless. I think I would prefer May - Pac 2... which is probably what we end up getting because promoters hate boxing fans...

                No, I do not want to see this fight.

                But here's some interesting facts....They are indeed of similar size.

                Lomachenko walks around at 138. Pac walks around at around 140. Loma is 28 . Pac is just about 38. As you age, you put on a bit more lbs.

                Loma is 5'6 ..5'7'ish or somewhere in between. Pac is 5'5 1/2 to 5'6.

                Loma has a 65 1/2 inch reach. Pac's reach is 67 inches.

                Lomachenko in a recent interview says 140 is too big for him (gaining 2 lbs for a higher weight class). Pac has been gaining 5-7 lbs to compete at 147 since 2009.

                Anyways, ..No, I don't want to see it. ..

                    I like this fight more than the Crawford fight actually.

                      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.
