    It all depends on weight. If the betting lines were to open tomorrow.
    - At 130, Loma would be favored, this fight ain't happening at this weight!
    - At 135, even money on both. This fight ain't happening at this weight!
    - At 140, Pac would be favored.
    - At 147, Pac would be favored.

    All can change if and when both fight next, at what weight, who their opponents are and how they fair.

    If this fight were to take place, I see it at 140 or above. Pac will call the shots on this one. Loma will need to give in to get his legacy/big money fight.

      This is probably the most apt comparison that could be made. I think Pac is too large for Loma but that only matters if he can apply that size advantage meaningfully and idk if he has what it takes anymore to do that.

      If the Pac that fought Vargas shows up, it probably doesn't end well for him. If Pac of even a few years ago shows up, we'd see what kind of chin Lomachenko has.

      I can see the intrigue but it doesn't have the kind of intrigue that I like. There are opponents closer to Lomachenko's weight that make for more reasonable fights imo.

          LOL Larry you tripping, Manny aint KOing chit, he is not a one punch guy, plus he is old, Loma will stop Manny if they fight at 138 catchweight.

          Arum wants this fight next, it will happen.

            Only if they fight at a ridiculous weight. I'm not convinced Manny can make 140 without a negative impact.
