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

I wouldn't be too surprised if mathysse puts him too sleep

[Lomasexual]

I thought Lomachenko said earlier this year he didn't think it would be fair to fight Manny at the end of his career out of prime, but I could be mistaken.

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.

If Manny the Fossil beats Lomachenko he's easily FOTD once again. But that could turn out to be a Pacquiao/DLH encounter and this time it's Manny who gets beaten senseless. Never know.

Great post!!

Manny is going to pass the torch

Manny is still a good fighter but only a shade of his former self 10 years ago. He is fighting for his country, using the money to build hospitals in his homecountry. Still a congressman and only a part time boxer but boxing on the highest level, that is just an amazing achievement in itself at his age.

Loma is really small for 135, he has such short arms, I wonder if he really wants to go up in weight again after already moving up a couple weightclasses. Maybe for one fight only against the Pacman its worth it.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Pacquiao is probably going to outsize Lomachenko. He's a proven ATG who's been in the ring with welterweights.

He may have had a tough time against a mediocre fighter like Horn, but Horn is still a pretty large fighter.


I'd rather not see this, but it would probably be good for Lomachenko should he win (although Pacquiao still has to get past Lucas first), but Pacquiao is still a good fighter at the end of the day even if he is obviously past his best days.

Pac can probably make 135, though I’m sure they will push for a catchweight 137/138.

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.

Pac said he can make 135 but I don't believe it.

BTW, phenomenal avatar

Be that as it may, my only question was if he'd said that or not, because I thought I remember reading that headline on here, but am not certain. Was making sure I wasn't thinking of someone else. All that was

This is "Prize Fighting"
