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

[john l]

Do you REALLY think bob wants to make Bud the star at top rank? Bud has 32 fights & loma gets more coverage from them & he has only 11 fights.......

Of course he wants him to be a star?? duh he promotes him and Craw has no other fights at 47 to make him a star.

This is actually interesting if it's at 140-138. Lomachenko would be taking a huge risk, not sure why everybody here automatically thinks he wins.

So loma wont go above 135 he rather dehydrate and beat up 130 lbs....so let me get this straight rigo could move up 8 lbs to 130 to fight dangerous loma but loma wont move 8 lbs above 135 to meet manny at a catchweight of 143..

Loma by nomas, similar to the pac-oscar fight....

[turnedup]

WOW....Did not see that one coming.

I always wondered why pacquiao didnt just go back down to 140 and fight there, he could have really dominated there, even at this older age...

[Ajvar]

Why would he want the fight at all? Are you serious?

Am I? http://www.boxingscene.com/lomachenk...ng-him--124383

Egis just responded on twitter to a guy asking if Manny fight was happening, to see if he can pass on the torch.

Egis replied he no longer has a torch to pass.

Manny is Legendary and very respectful fighter but he is nonactive, he is done and Loma won’t take advantage of it just beating a Legend to get him name. We have better route fighting active champions in our weight class. Stay tune you will see and say WOW https://t.co/gR3Twrkfmx

A lot of fans are trying to push Lomachenko and Klimas to fight, they are arguing that "Well if you pass this up how are we guaranteed that Lomachenko won't go back to fighting Sosa's and the Marriaga's? Old or not, Pacquiao will be Loma's crossing fight."
