Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser: If Both Win, Lomachenko is The Fall Target

[Travycat]

I couldn't remember if it was him that said that or not. Lot of moving parts on that prime pac/prime loma fight, though. So many think Pac was on the gear for most of those impressive prime wins, and Mayweather Sr. notes this pointing out Manny hasn't knocked anyone out since they started drug testing him. I would like to believe that's not true, but with everything going on today, who knows what to think anymore.

That doesn't mean he won't take the fight, it just means he won't think it means anything.

Like when he beat Rigo, and people are giving him mad props, and he disagrees with them, saying the win didn't mean anything cause his opponent was small and old.

I have zero interest in seeing Loma take on Pac for that exact reason. Just like I wasn't all that interested in seeing him take on Rigo. At least Rigo wasn't so faded that he lost to a fighter like Horn.

Prime Loma vs prime Pac would have been a brilliant fight. But we don't have time machines, so it can't happen. Now a fight between the two of them would just be about picking up a paycheck. I don't blame fighters for doing that - but it doesn't make for the kinds of fights that I really want to see.

Hmmm.can Pacquiao make under 140?...

Manny vs Loma is gonna be huge for the new ESPN boxing app.
And Manny will get a nice retirement check, for his ******-currencey investment. If Manny can get a KO in the Mathysse fight, they can proclaim Manny is back, and this will make that fight huge, maybe even ppv

Nahh that one would be on PPV.

Manny skipped right over Indongo and Postal to call out Lomachenko. At Lomachenko's age fighters are usually about as big and heavy as they can get. Fighting Linares at 135 is a stretch, fighting anyone at 140 is a joke.

That's why pac-loma should happen at 135lbs only.

Im curious. Is Pacquaio on the list of fighters unwilling to take the test ?

He's asking to fight the no.1 P4P in a division he hadn't fought in 10 years.
