    I WOULD LOVE to see this fight, I love freak matchups like these even though they might look like mismatches on paper. It is more exciting to see what will happen.

      That didn't come out right. I meant to say Pacquiao is not nearly as good as he was 10 years ago in his prime. Pacquiao is still damn good even now at almost 38 years old. Loma is just entering his prime as a pro now. His youth, speed and trickiness might be more than the older, slower Pacquiao of today could handle.

        Vargas is not a top guy. Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Brook, even Khan all beat him easy.

            I think hes just getting warmed up. Probably will have his prime 2-3 years from now If he stays as active as he has been and thats scary because if hes this good and just getting statted then I cant wait to see him hit his prime he will be unstoppable embarrasing dudes. Also when he becomes past his prime and that speed goes itll be a bad downfall

                I doubt that Loma could beat Pac at 140 but I could be wrong. Seems like there are quite a few people who believe Pac would get beat. I'm a bit surprised by that, but who knows, we've seen stranger things in this sport than that.

                  This is not a knock on Lomachenko, but the last time he was overzealous and fought a past it veteran, he lost.

                  He needs more experience. Pacquiao might not be himself anymore, but he has plenty of experience and still has a punch to go with it.

                    Wicked fight to be honest. Can't say because Manny hasn't fought at lower weight in years and he's a bit old.

                      No... Manny would be the betting favorite especially if it was at 140 or 147
