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

[hectari]

If Linares can put him on the canvas, I'm pretty sure Pac can get in a flash knockdown or two. It would still be a competitive fight, but I would favor Loma if they fought at 135. At 140 it's a 50/50 fight.

Lmao what a funny analysis, 135 or 140 makes zero difference, skils pay the bills, pacquiao, jmm, mayweather were all weighing 145 to 148 on fight night when they fought at welterweight and still won against bigger men.

Loma is actually an inch taller than pacquiao and he walks around at 145 pounds while pacman walks around the same weight but at 5 foot 5.

Loma is the man.
He is right in saying if he beat Manny what would it achieve for him besides a decent pay cheque.
Maybe if Pacman does ok against Broner Loma might change his mind about him.

Yeah because Salido >> Pacquiao?

He's not looking gg to find a smallish welter, he's father said no because Pacquiao wouldn't go below 140,Loma's too small for 140 and we saw that against Linares,135 is already a big difference in size

I know all that, bro. I'm a fan of his too and don't even want him fighting at 135, unless it's for a big money fight.

Loma's ceiling is 130, IMO.

If Linares can put Loma down, I cant imagine what Pac would do, who use to beat up a prime Linares in sparring according to Roach.

I find it funny that a 5'7 Loma's ceiling is 130-135 when he is the taller guy compared to a 5'5 Pacquiao who's been fighting at 147. Imagine that.

I kinda respect Mikey now for attempting 147 and seeking that glory

If Salido can own his ass, Pac would retire Loma

Well Pacquiao has to eat excessive to make 147,he's said that on multiple occasions,think Pacquioa's ideal weight would be 140 but all the big fights are at 147.
He's just has a different body structure, heavier and sturdier build, look al Wilder,he's just a little smaller then fury but weight wise theres about 40-50 pounds apart, just different body types.
Sure Mikey Garcia is brave or ****** or he's brave and ****** to fight Eroll Spence,
i think he can make 140 but it's clear 135 suits him better in my opinion, that like his ideal weight strength wise too, and there are good fights to be made, so if i was in his position i would have tried to make a unification happen,
but his career his choice and his life

If Linares can put Vagisil on the canvas, Manny Hattons him. Lomo is scared.

[IceTrayDaGang]

keyword: "i think"........... that should tell you all about it. team loma is not gonna take that risk of losing to an old man which will pretty much end loma's career as a top contender. this is why they show no interest because pac is NOT a fight they have to take.

You are probably correct.
Like Marquez turned down tens of millions of $ for 5th fight with Pac--fear.
Boxing is about money. Only fear of a serious KO turns down megabucks.
