I like that fight. One last big pay day for Pac, and could act as a passing of the torch for Loma. But at the same time if you are anything like me, in the back of my mind I'll be wondering if Manny still has one more fight in him against the smaller guy. Let's hope he can come through Matthyse so we can see it.
Pacquiao is the fight Lomachenko needs to truly crossover

No way. It doesn't matter if he s over the hill, Oscar was way past it when he fought Pac, it still catapulted him.
The Mikey fight is a far better matchup, but as far as getting casuals aware of Loma and eventually into a ppv star, it has to be Pacquiao. Mikey isn't even a ppv star himself, that is a big fight but profile wise it's not like fighting Pac.Comment

I don't think a win over a chubby Mikey Garcia would get him over the edge. If Garcia's career didn't take a sabbatical then maybe yes. There's no clue what's going to happen with Mikey in the future.
Lomachenko needs a good rival. I thought that might've been someone like Gary Russell Jr but his career is stagnant and the first fight wasn't too competitive.
If he beats Pacquiao (which is not really a guarantee), people would be calling for him to fight Crawford. That would be a big size disadvantage for him to over come.Comment
