Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Rejecting Pacquiao: He's Old, I Think He's Done

[Damn Wicked]

I'm having a hard time believing that Loma would wipe the floor with Pac. With every attempted offensive onslaught that Loma attempted there would be plenty of danger. Pacquiao would be really dangerous at 140 and above. Loma's best chance would be to make Manny work so that he could exhaust the old man. He might be able to do it...but it won't be easy. It would probably be the hardest fight Loma's had yet. I can't see Pac losing to any of Loma's previous opponents. I don't buy that Loma wouldn't want to crush an old time legend....He knows that would be a quick track to bigger money and bigger name recognition. Pacman and Mayweather used old, faded fighters to leapfrog to their lucrative fortunes. What kind of idiot wouldn't do the same. Loma's not an idiot.

Nope, DSG has an iron chin and power he will likely knock pacman out like he did rios. Pacman cannot beat anyone in the top, he will struggle with broner, he is too old man

Nonsense. Only fight right now at 47 that has me worried is Crawford due to fight IQ and range.

Even at 40 Pac will at least UD the rest of those guys.

Loma KNOWS that if Pac drops down to 140 he is at a MASSIVE power disadvantage and Pac will be the bigger fighter.

This is a clear duck.

Great post! That's why I don't rate a lot of Canelo wins or think dgarcia resume is all that impressive.

He needs that mikey fight soon though so. They're not getting any younger.

I agree but it seriously seems like Mikey does not want that fight. Why move up to fight Spence when the p4p champ is in your own division? Everyone wants that fight except him. If and when he moves up to 147 I also doubt he comes all the way back to 135.

Also. I dont get these dudes saying loma is ducking Pac when pac has fought at 147 for years and lomachenko just got to 135.

Someone two weight divisions under you ain't ducking you. They'll say **** like GGG ducked ward, but canelo didnt duck GGG.

When a legend wants to fight you, you take it. No excuse. They're handing out their torch to you when they do that.

Dela Hoya was fighting at 154 for years and Pacquiao has only recently moved up to 135 and had only one fight in that weight class.

They met at 145. Dela Hoya had to lose 9 pounds. Pacquiao had to gain 10 pounds.

In Loma vs Pac case, Loma has to gain 5 pounds. Pac has to lose 7 pounds.

Vasiliy Lomachenko, the pound-for-pound star and WBA lightweight world champion will look to unify world titles for the first time Saturday when he takes on WBO champ Jose Pedraza. Three-division world champion Lomachenko is returning to the ring for the first time since climbing off the canvas to stop Venezuela's Jorge Linares on May 12.

Or Pac-Man wins on the scales, bringing Loma up in weight

You dont have to take nothing because there is nothing to gain. Lomachenko has stated repeated that he is carving his own path and that he will stay at 135 because he is small at 135 and that's the truth.
He is small at 135. There is nothing to gain from fighting pac when hes 40 years old and has been fighting at 147 for the better half of a decade.

Do you think Holmes vs Ali was a great fight?

Did Lennox gain anything against tyson?

Do you want to see pac drain down for this fight? Pac vs DLH wasnt even a good fight because oscar looked like he was dead and didnt didnt display anything that made him the boxer he was.

There are tons of fights with faded stars that dont live up to the hype.

You should quit making up your own rules for real. Lomachenko is choosing to not fight Pacquiao because the fight means nothing to him. His time has come and gone. Passing the torch. Lmfao. When pac lost to horn did he pass him the torch? When pac didnt want Crawford did he want to pass the torch?

Quit making up bull****

The oscar vs manny fight was at welterweight not 145 pounds lol, it was at 147 no catchweight

I agree if an old faded legend wants the fight take it, its a passing torch moment and makes you a big star if you knocke them out or dominate

[SHOOTALLCLOWNS]

pac is old and washed up! the fight is never going to happen now pac went to pbc to fight bums for easy money!
