"For a change"? Loma was weight bullied in only his 2nd pro fight, among other things, and didn't make a single excuse. Now stop crying you biased sore loser. Pacquiao said just a year ago that 135 is his real weight, that he has to eat artificially high amounts just to stay above 140. Manny would not even be one of the five biggest guys at 135 if he moved down. 135 has been his natural weight class all along, he just stayed at 147 and hurt his own career to make Arum more money. It would be an advantage for Pacquiao to have this fight at 135 where he can be faster, have better stamina, and fight much smaller opponents, not a disadvantage. Stop hating on Loma when all he did is accepted the fight you called for him to take against Rigo in the first place, outclassed Rigo, and then even tried to be respectful to Rigo afterwards by saying Rigo is still a king in his own weight class. Loma did everything exactly as you would want him to. Even took the crown off his head that his fitness coach put on after the fight. What more do you want? Y'all called him out, so he accepted, proved y'all wrong, but stayed respectful about it, and still gave Rigo props. So why are you still hating???? DAMN.Comment

Because Pacquiao is not a real 147 pounder, dumbass. In this era true 147 pounders seem to naturally weigh 180 pounds. Pacquiao naturally weighs 145 at most. So Pacquiao is actually fighting 35 pound bigger men, naturally, and you saw that in the Jeff Horn fight. That's why Pacquiao down at 135 could surprise the hell out of everyone. Going from fighting way bigger men to suddenly fighting guys your own size, let alone even smaller guys like Loma, could have an insane effect. If this fight gets made, it means that Pacquiao is going from punching someone who is naturally 180 pounds at least if not 185, Jeff Horn, to punching someone who is naturally 140 at most. That's a 45 pound weight change in opponents, overnight. Those left hands that didn't do anything to Horn could spark Lomachenko out immediately with one shot.Comment

Actually Loma is ranked higher on most P4P lists than Crawford. Loma has a string of high level substance wins vs guys like GRJ, Walters, and Rigo that have created a ton of hype for him, Crawford has none. It's not "the media" pushing Lomachenko, in fact his rise was delayed if anything by the boxing establishment screwing him vs Salido. He has had to overcome that, unlike Crawford, and yet he's still risen faster than Crawford NOT, again, because of "the media," which always prefers to push American boxers anyway (Floyd, Ward both got bigger pushes by both HBO and Showtime than any Eastern Euro has. Same with RJJ and many others), but because he has fought better opponents, and beaten them in a more unique, artistic way that has gotten people talking, the same way that Pacquiao and GGG's unique entertaining styles helped them become stars.
As for why Pac would fight Loma and not Crawford, easy. It's a bigger, sexier, "fantasy matchup" type of fight, and instead of having to fight someone 35 pounds bigger than him, Pac would get to fight someone 5-10 pounds smaller than him. Instead of having to continue to fight in a weight class that is not natural for him, Pacquiao would finally be able to move back to his natural weight class 135. It's a win-win all around.Comment

No, Pacquiao is not a WW. He is a lightweight, and not even a big lightweight, who has been fighting at WW against much bigger men, because during his prime, he was good enough to do that. Now that he's 39, he's not good enough to do that, so he either needs to move back down to his normal weight class, or retire.Comment

And yet you have been calling for Crawford, who is about the same age as Loma but way way bigger, to fight Pacquiao. Your double standards are just insane bro. If Pacquiao-Crawford was made yesterday, you wouldn't have even brought this stuff up. And somehow you try to spin that Loma fighting a smaller opponent, Rigo, because Rigo called him out, is the same as him fighting a way bigger opponent, Pacquiao. You try to gloss over the facts by putting both those in the category of "weight manipulation fights." In reality, Lomachenko would have to move up significantly to fight Pacquiao, so his weight is the one being manipulated. Pacquiao has naturally been a 135 all along, so Pacquiao doesn't have to manipulate anything, he just gets to finally fight at his own weight, against a smaller guy, for the first time in years and years. It's a huge advantage for Pacquiao, the opposite of the Rigo situation. In that one, Rigo moved up. In this one, Loma would have to move up, while Pacquiao would get to fight in his natural weight class again. Advantage Pacquiao.
Please stop hating bro. It's a bad look.Comment
