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

[BoxingIsGreat]

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

Might turn out to be an ****** attempt.

I'm a big Mikey fan but I don't wanna see him get totally damaged by these bigger and good welters. Even with all that glory shit, and even if he wins, Spence will break Mikey's ribs and some other things. ******, ****** ******. I'd rather see Davis-Mikey.

By the way, talking about Pac-Loma height, that's not how you determine one's ceiling. There's something called bone structure and density, and muscle distribution. Have you seen Pac's arms and legs? Calves? Even when he was a lightweight or lower?

Have you seen Mikey next to Loma? Loma looks like a baby!

Bumachenko up himself because he beat a few bums who were paid to throw the fight, the only one who actually tried to fight him was his dad Salido and all of his so called "boxing skills" went out of the window. Man isn't he fighting another bum next lol

Salido was actually supposed to take a dive also but there was a misunderstanding due to the language barrier. He was told to "throw the fight" but he understood it as "throw the right".

If Spence fight happens, Mikey's gotta know that his bro will quickly jump in to save him, if he's in trouble.

Last time I checked he’s 39 but if they do fight he’ll be 40+ but let’s see how he does against broner. If he does better than how Mikey fought broner than there really is no excuse if they match at 135. If Broner beats Pacquiao then I’ll give Lomachenko more credit and take back what I said.

Just realized that Lomachenko had the opportunity last year to fight Pacquiao, so he would’ve been 39 when they fought.

Last year Lomachenko was at 130! Up to now he has only bout at 135 and, of course you want them to meet at 140 or even more.
Hater!

Pac is actually 5’6 1/2 not 5’5 like what you see on wikipidea or maybe boxrec. He’s got bigger frame and bone structrure than Loma thats why he was able to move up in weight. Have you seen his calves? Lol

Yeah Pacquiao def isn't 5'5 but probably not 5'6 1/2 either just 5'6 Broner is likely 5'6 1/2 just slightly taller than Pac

Fair enough but then again, Porter is listed as 5’7 but in reality Broner is taller and even Pac was slightly taller than Porter in their photos at Wildcard.

I have zero interest in this fight.

Just like I said before the Rigo fight that I had zero interest in that one.

Manny is too old, Loma is absolutely right. Manny struggled against Jeff Horn FFS, and that was a year and a half ago. I can see it, Loma can see it, I am puzzled why other posters can't see it. How much must Manny have slipped to struggle against someone like Horn? Even if he was 75% of the fighter he once was, he would have won easily. It's painful to watch a living legend fade, but it doesn't make sense to pretend it hasn't happened either.

Taking the fight would just be a cynical money-grab.

[Richard G]

I think he’s right. I thought pac should have retired after the horn fight, regardless of who actually won. Loma would have just been criticized for beating an old pacquao.

Agree and now Pacman is very careful in picking who he fights. In his 40's so he is an old man.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Oh how funny the Rigo/Pac comparison is.

The only similarity is age, and it stops there.

Loma beat up an old Rigo who was two divisions below him

While Pac is indeed old, he is two divisions above Loma. Weight classes still matters for a reason.

There's no reality or alternate reality where i see Loma beats up a Pacquiao.

Pacquiao beats any fighter about the same size as him.
