Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Told Me He Wants Lomachenko Next

[7not8]

The government corruption of the phillippines makes US politicians look like boy scouts.

Lol! I'm gonna have to agree on this!

Even though I like Loma better as a fighter I think pac hits too damn hard and is completely unorthodox which is all wrong for Loma.

Fight only makes sense at a catch weight w/not to exceed clause

I agree. If PAC makes weight, by fight night he’s could blow up to 147-154lbs. Remember the Arturo Gatti /Joey Gamache fight? That fight was at welterweight (I think), Gatti came in over 160lbs N demolished him. I never saw Joey gamache fight again. I’m not saying that will happen to Lomachenko, I’m saying Pacman could be way to heavy for Loma by fight night. Now if they make a catch weight with a not to exceed weight, THEN, I think Lomachenko will smoke him.

Loma lack the power to hurt Pacquiao

As Floyd and Horn showed us, Manny gets frustrated quite easily.

[HURTFEELINGS]

Pac better get him a steak from Mexico, some toradol right before the fight.......If loma is as good as some of you say........pac is just trying to cash out, even though manny lost to horn, some will proclaim Loma the greatest, for beating an Old man.

ps.
so youre saying he'd (loma) move up for the OLD MAN, but not for Mikey?

I hope arum will put crawford against pac. Crawford will probably has chance now since pac is too old and past his prime.

No you don't. LMAO. You're a joke

Pacquiao hasn’t fought a real name in some time, but if it happens I am watching it. Let’s see it.��

This fight should be at 135lbs to be competetive. 140-147 will be too much for loma.

You still mad T.B.E. beat #48 that's why you want him to go down to 135 at 40 years old....lol....lomo makes 140 easy so there is NO problem for him to fight at 140 with Manny losing 7 pounds at 40 yrs old it should even things out on paper.

[JuniorTorres720]

Well Lomachenko would be moving up to 140 for the first time. His performance against Linares should be at least a small indicator of how well he might adapt to 140. Pacquiao, I'm sure can move back down to 140. He should have gone down in his last fight. Regardless if Pacquiao decides to close out his career with a Lomachenko fight it wouldn't be so bad as a Crawford fight. Loma doesn't necessarily have KO power but his volume punching overwhelms his opponents. At 140 his lack of power and even a decrease in speed might be more evident. It wouldn't be a bad match up. I'll still prefer Pacman to retire. He's got nothing left to prove.

lol @ arum giving in LOL. i thought he said pac/lucas wasnt gonna happen?

Why not Crawford

It’s obvious that Arum wants Qwackman to fight everyone in his stable not named Crawford!

Why do Black fighters sign with this guy who can’t promote them correctly? If TC wasn’t Black Arum would have forced that fight! And frankly why is Qwackman and sidekick ****roach, so afraid of Crawford!

But hey Arum wants to make the likes of Jeff Corn a super star and Lomachenko, over the much more deserving Crawford!
