Comments Thread For: Roach Very Confident That Pacquiao Would Beat Lomachenko

[Breno G]

I'm not sure Roach truly believes Pac can beat Loma. He's his coach. I mean, he has to stay on his side. It's completely understandable, but he has all the experience in the world to know that this isn't true.

Unfortunately, it's over for Pacman.

Arum is going to get his money! Loma vs. Beltran, then Loma vs. Pacquiao @ 140! I think it's a win-win for Loma! Pacquiao will take him from star to superstar!

I thought Lomachenko was competing at 130 not 126 like the article says.

Pacquiao has 2 jobs and all that dancing and singing. He forgot basketball player/coach/owner. Where does he find the time?

this fight should be made at 135lbs. This will be a very exciting fight.

Anything to avoid Crawford.

[pasawayako]

Pacman the politician, singer, PBA player, movie actor VS LOMA the no. 1 lb4lb boxer in the world at 135lbs.

This will be a very good match up.

Pacman the politician, singer, PBA player, movie actor VS CRAWFORD the no. 2 lb4lb boxer in the world at 147lbs.

I like this fight more.

Dont want to See Pac and Crawford Now. Crawford has Thurmon, Spence, Porter, and others to get. Would love to see this fight at 135. I know Pac would be bigger and stronger at that weight or he would be weight drained and easy. Depends on how he trains.

Loma vs Linares in late April or early May. Beltran vs Salido at 135 on the undercard.

Loma vs Beltran/Salido winner in late July, or August.

Loma vs Pacquiao in November at 135 or a catch weight.

Loma/Pacquiao winner vs Mikey Garcia spring 2019 at 135, although with Mikey walking around at 170+ pounds, and Loma naturally being 35 - 40 pounds smaller than that, Loma's team might be smart to require a rehydration clause for that fight, same as they agreed to vs Rigondeaux, despite there being much less of a size difference between Loma and Rigo than there is between Loma and Mikey (and Loma and Linares, in fact).

Make it happen please Top Rank. And I hope we don't hear anyone peep of any bull**** about Loma-Linares having trouble finding a date that is 100% perfect for GBP. Life is not perfect. I hope they stop p*ssyfooting around over 14 days different, or double programming (which happens all the time anyway), or any of that bull****. This is Linares we're talking about. This isn't Tupac coming back from the dead to perform one final concert or something. It doesn't all have to be laid out perfectly to everyone's exact wishes. Find the best date that will work, even if everything isn't 100% ideal, and then make the fight while people are talking about it, while it's hot, and while both guys are coming off wins and looking fast and healthy and exciting.

GBP is going to be raking in 2 million PPV sales on May 5th, and another record gate. Stop being so ****ing spoiled, and so ****ing picky, over a boxer in Linares you don't even lead promote, and who isn't generating even 5% of that money for you. Make the damn fight with Loma, because if Loma keeps getting good fighters to fight him, and if he keeps winning, then maybe one day soon HE can actually generate a good percentage of what Canelo does, and then maybe ANOTHER one of your fighter's, GBP, who you DO really actually promote,
will be able to fight him and rake in good money for you. So don't be so shortsighted! JoJo Diaz is just one possibility down the line. MAKE LOMA-LINARES ALREADY PLEASE!!!

Manny is ranked #2 at ww. The ww champ Horn is defending against #1 ranked Crawford. Manny will be elevated to #1 contender after this fight happens.

Why would you want him to fight against the 135 champ instead of the 147lb champ?

[ArturoBalboa]

Never gonna happen, Pac is done.
Just roach running his mouth in the same way he was talking up Cotto bowing out by fighting ggg, when in reality cotto preferred to go down the road of a miscalculated cherry pick and get his neon pink ar5e kicked by Ali.
