More Competitive Fight: Loma vs Mikey or Mikey vs Manny.?

[darius45]

Now that Manny is in the PBC stable a Mikey Garcia fight is potentially on the table (and easier to make).

Loma vs Mikey at 135... Mikey has the power advantage but Loma will have the speed and technical advantage... Loma might coast to a decision as long as he is able to avoid getting hit with anything big.

Mikey vs Manny at 147: Manny is older, not as light on his feet, but will have the power advantage. I don't think Mikey has enough power to KO Manny either. Mikey could win a tough decision on the cards.

I like both fights. Hopefully one of them happens in 2019

Mikey vs Manny...closer in size

Mikey vs Manny...closer in size

This actually... is probably true.

But I still think Lomachenko vs Mikey would be a more interesting fight. Lomachenko has got the skills, but can he overcome an obvious size disadvantage in every area (height, weight, and reach) against an elite opponent like Mikey who is probably in his prime?

I'd much rather see Loma vs Mikey because I think it's the more competitive fight.
I think Pac will be a step behind Garcia right now.

mikey v Loma. Mikey may not be super athletic but his skill and timing are top notch. He does subtle things with ease that many posters don't seem to pick up on. IMO he'd easily outbox Manny at this stage of his career.

I think the Loma fight would be more interesting because you KNOW Loma will fight hungry... Whereas Manny will just be phoning it in with his performance.

I think Mikey loses both fights but he has a better chance of beating the very old Pacquiao at 147 than he has of beating Loma at 135. Pacquiao is fighting the same Broner Mikey beat so that should be helpful in guessing the winner of a Pacquiao vs Mikey fight.

There is no height advantage and the reach is almost identical. Also Mikey shows up soft in the midsection in all his fights. He's not a 140 lber at all.

Mikey beats Lomachenko & Pacquaio.IMO
Which fight would I rather watch???

Obviously it would have to be against Pacquaio because of the time limit left on Manny.
Lomachenko for me is too small & Garcia would neutralize his speed with counter punching.
