Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says He is Targeting a Lomachenko Showdown

[Bronx2245]

Manny is a WW. Crawford just moved to WW. Loma is a LW. Which is the best fight to make?

Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko @ 140, is the best fight for both Pacquiao and Lomachenko! Remember how many times Arum and Roach have said that Manny best weight is 140, and how Pacquiao has to eat so much to make 147?

Says he is willing to do a 3 month camp. Better than being in a **** undercard and a better fight itself than Crawford

Exactly how is fighting Loma better than Crawford? ????

Loma a full 3 classed smaller and Crawford is SAME weight class. ......

How is that "better"????

Don't want to see that fight. Manny doesn't have the legs for it at this point.

Wish Pac would retire in peace.

All boxers should look to the living ideal of a retired fighter- Fat Chino. That's how it's done.

Yes, an exciting fight. Pacquiao would have edge in power but at this stage of his career Lomachenko would probably win on points.

I wish Pacquiao would just retire. Obviously it looks like it won't happen anytime soon. I hope people in his team convince him though.
If Manny wants to continue I think he should go down to 140. The current Welterweights are big guys.

Some interesting fights at 140.
You have Mikey Garcia and even a Broner fight wouldn't be bad. I know some won't want or don't think it could happen, but stranger things have happened. Broner is in that stage where he may be used as a stepping stone for younger fighters, so why not fight someone like Pacquiao instead?
Both are towards the end of their careers. It's sad to say that for Broner, but it's kind of the truth.

Then you have some interesting you contenders coming up.
Josh Taylor or Regis Prograis.
I doubt Jose Ramirez would be a realistic fight, because Ramirez may still have ties with Roach.

Then you obviously have a Loma fight.
I would prefer a Loma fight over Crawford, because at least Loma won't have a size advantage over Pac.

Loma and Pac are the same size. Pac comes in about 144ish and Loma about 138ish.

Crawford unofficial weight against Beltron amd Gamboa was 153 and 152 back in 2014 at LW!!!

Now he fights at 160+ unofficial.

Just like Rigo moved down for loma?

I really don't know who called out who in that one. But in this case the bigger established star is calling out the smaller guy. Which is okey, but then you should go to his weighclass if you're thinking of the match up.

[WesternChamp]

not interested.. pac needs to fight crawford or hang it up. loma aint gonna be able to hurt manny with those pitty pat punches.

[Shadoww702]

Crawford 2014 fight at Lightweight.

Comes in 153-135= 18 lbs.
Pac 149-144 against Algieri = 5 lbs.
Loma 138- 126 (FW) = 12 lbs.

Salido weighed 147. Pac weighs about that...

Pac vs. Loma is WAY closer than Crawford 160+

[Shadoww702]

Crawford turned pro at Super LW. And fought there many years. I believe Prescott was his last fight at S LW. Then dropped down to LW.
