Comments Thread For: Roach: I Love Pacquiao-Lomachenko; Crawford Too Big, Young!

[GhostofDempsey]

Who would you prefer Pac fight? I think he should just rematch Horn and call it a day. Even if Horn loses to Crawford.

I agree with you. He doesn't belong in there with Crawford, but also not dragging up Loma to 140 in one of his next 2 fights.

I think Pac would match well against guys like Khan, Matthysse, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, or rematch Horn. Those would be entertaining 50/50 fights.

Corrales and Oscar were an inch taller then Mayweather???LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Some sources have Floyd at 5'9" others at 5'8", most sources have DLH and Corrales at 5'10".

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Are you referring to May/Pac? This can't be verified, but Mayweather claimed he was 149 in the ring while Pac was...152 I think...?


I can't remember what he said Pac was, but it turned out that it was accurate, as it was reported by others.

I'm not sure what exactly is meant by bigger frame. I know Manny has a lot of weight in his legs and Floyd has chicken legs. Looking at their rehydration weights, it's certainly believable that Manny was heavier than Floyd though Floyd is taller. Remember, Floyd was only 150 for Canelo.

No this is just in general when it comes to boxing. If you are taller and or have a wider frame you will generally weigh more.

Floyd is both taller and wider than pacman. Pacman could carry as much weight as he wants in his legs but it doesn't change the fact that it's probably not true considering Mayweather is taller and most likely has longer aka heavier legs. Pacman is like what, 5'6" on a good day? Maybe 5'5"? While Mayweather is probably a solid 5'8".

Not to mention he has a much longer reach. 5 inches. He's gonna weigh more.

Also it's pretty laughable that people claim Loma called out a little man in rigo considering, when you compare Manny to Floyd and then rigo to Loma, Floyd is the one who cherry picked a smaller fighter despite the fact they "weighed" the same.

PAC would lose to Crawford easily but the Loma match would be worth seeing tho what y'all think is a better fight Spence vs Crawford or Loma vs gevonte

No mas Loma Vs the guy who made Oscar quit, now he's gonna quit....KARMA

[Sickmerch1990]

If Rigo was ****** enough, Loma should do the same mistake against Pac? Loma is too smart and he even admitted that the weight was a big advantage for the fight. Be reasonable.

Suppose so but i do want to see that fight best fighter of today v the best fighter of the past 30 years ones old ones jumping up 2 divisions we need to see these match ups on a saturday night

Yep Paul Williams was bigger than Mike Tyson too.

Out of shape Mayweather only weighed 160 fully clothed before he started training for McGregor. They use scales for a reason. Wouldn't need them if people could judge weight accurately with their eyes.

Perhaps you are right generally....? I'm still not following when it comes to May/Pac, bro. Like I said, Pacquiao was around 152 for the Mayweather bout. Mayweather was 150 for the Canelo bout. Seems like what you're saying is that this is impossible because he's longer. Weight doesn't work that way, bro.

Right now Spence vs. Crawford is a much better fight for sure. Gervonte needs more time, bro.

Pal, just remember! Freddie is the greatest boxing trainer of all time. If you didn't know Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time. Please give credit where credit is due and criticizing less.

"greatest trainer of all-time"? tfffffffff
so you tellin' me a better Trainer than Bouis Fisher or Eddie Futch who he learned under? tfoh sit your ****** ass down somewhere

[mrjoeblive]

hahaha! You reaching back 15 years when Floyd was in his prime and Corrales was nothing more than a smaller version of Margarito. Crawford is a way better boxer than Corrales and Castillo. Gatti? Are you serious? Floyd himself called Gatti a C-rate fighter. Thanks for helping me prove my point though.

You can say what you want doc but the fact is Chico was picked to beat Floyd some even predicted by ko. I did notice how you conveniently ignored the canelo bout. Still don't see your point though.
