Pacquiao is the fight Lomachenko needs to truly crossover

[Shrap]

It's a complete ****show at this point. Pac is old and has taken so much punishment over the years that he is completely shot. It will end up as a showcase for Loma and a degrading beating for Manny.

He should've just rematched Horn, got the victory he deserved and then retired. Pac hasn't been anywhere near his best for a long time and needs to hang them up.

He might as well go for it and perhaps at a catch-weight in the welterweight division so he can add a belt since. If he's able to win id dominant and exciting fashion it will elevate him and his profile. Only really Marquez has been able to dominate and be entertaining against Pacquaio at least in the last decade. Lomachenko would dominate him, probably without losing more than a round or two and he'll do it in an aggressive manner and be pleasing on the eye like most his fights.

It's not about beating Pacquaio because Pacquaio has been a shell of his former self since Marquez KO'd him and his fights basically meaningless from a legacy standpoint. It's just about the name at this point much like De La Hoya post 2004.

taxman is calling though.

It’s a good passing of the torch fight. If Loma beats Pacman and goes on a run against Garcia and Crawford and wins them all, he can be the next great.

Would be a very good passing of the torch fight for Loma.

Thats how I feel. Not sure he can accomplish all that though, but it might elevate those fights into solid ppv's and the fighters get the money that those fights deserve. I think Loma-Mikey has the most allure to it and it's a fight I would love to see.

[HURTFEELINGS]

If manny lasts five rounds, it would be a (moral) victory.

Maybe booboy will have manny sit in a bucket of Salt Water in between rounds.....

Bob gets to have Manny punished on live television, on Crawfords undercard

I really don't get this passing of the torch s h i t.

That's like legitimizing Holmes victory over Ali as a blockbuster win when even Holmes thought otherwise.

I know most may disagree but stardom begets stardom when stars defeat other star's at their peak or damn near close to their peak.

For crying out loud if their is anything history has shown us in this fight game is that when the best fighters fight the best at their best we as fans win with the fighters.

In what world did Marquez ever dominated Pacquiao at anypoint of their encounter.

Third fight and he got about as decisive victory as you could get in the 4th.
