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

[pasawayako]

135lbs a truly 50-50 fight
140lbs 65-35 pac
147lbs a massacre

Manny is old but still too much for Lamo, because his size, weight and speed are 147 while loma is 135

As I said, not so sure.

I remember well when everybody was telling that De La Hoya was too big and too skilled for Pacquiao in 2008.

Then the night came, and I'm still having ******s when I watch the fight

Old Paquiao kick your ass Loma !

[Curt Henning]

i really like loma..honestly...i really do

but lets be honest..if u rejected pac its not cause you feel that way...otherwise youd have fought him

[champion4ever]

Loma is right. He is just entering into his prime while Pacquiao is at the end of his. This fight would be a total mismatch at this point as Pac has nothing to prove against Lomachenko at this current stage of his career.

I like Loma's spirit and attitude. He is paying homage to a great legend that has come before him. He realizes that Pac is much older than himself, not at full strength and is no longer in his physical prime. Therefore a fight would him would prove to be pointless.

i agree to a certain extent...but idc who you are....if arum came to him and told him this is the fight he needs he would take it...hes not confident he can beat even an old pac...and i get it....but lets not pretend its cause loma is being "noble"....

Yep at this stage all we can do is make predictions but we won't really until they step in the ring.

I just can't bring myself to buy what loma said. Joshua fought old guys wlad and povetkin and is now a star in the uk. Guys fought old guys all the time and still get credit and let's face it Pac at this stage is still the biggest name loma can put in his resume. If anyone is going earn in anything it's loma pac i think is fine with a huge payday.

Loma had no problem fighting gatekeeper Murriaga coming off a loss and moving up a division or Rigo moving up two, but he somehow expects people to believe he refuses to step in the ring with Pac who'd represent the biggest name on his resume in the highest profile of his career, because he doesn't want to be seen as "cherrypicking"? Yeah, sure buddy.

Instead of being upfront and admitting he's willing to pass on the opportunity of a lifetime because he doesn't want to risk moving up beyond 135, Loma expects his fanboys to claim a victory on his behalf on paper, just like with Salido who he remained indifferent about rematching for years and ultimately never did.
