    NO REASON Lomachenko can't fight Manny

    Manny is on record very recently saying he can go down as low as 135. Yet, in the Campbell post fight press conference, Lomachenko's team immediately dismissed the possibility of a Pacquiao fight, comparing fighting Manny to fighting someone much bigger like Crawford or Canelo which is ridiculous.

    I hear people compare Lomachenko to Roy Jones jr, yet Roy had the balls to go all the way to heavyweight...But Lomachenko can't fight a guy on record saying he can fight at his weight? Even some 137 catch-weight wouldn't be some huge, earth shattering undertaking. But Loma's team is trying to frame it like fighting Pacquiao is fighting some huge guy like Canelo. It's not a DUCK per say, but it's a REALISTIC challenge that Lomachenko isn't even willing to ACKNOWLEDGE.

    Plus, I would much rather see Manny vs Lomachenko and maybe pass the torch that way If Loma can step up...than see Manny suffer a bad loss to Spence or Crawford.

    Even if Loma could beat Manny, Bob still won't risk his guy

        I was a big fan of Roy but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say if there were VADA testing back then, it may have been an issue.

        I'd love to see Loma and Pac fight but I doubt it ever happens.

          Do you honestly think Manny can make 135 healthy?

            No way, it would do to him what happened to Oscar, Manny has been at 147 for years, show me 12lbs of extra weight he can lose.

            Its all talk if you ask me, makes his wins appear better if you can make these wild Im 135 guy quotes.

                I dont buy Manny can get to 135 or really wants to.

                But that 130 talk is weird & makes no sense to me. That said I wouldnt be mad at Loma vs Berchelt happening.

                  Manny could make 135. Considering he is a meth addict there is no telling how much he could cut.

                    Fear is a reason. Loma is not confident he can beat Pacquiao.
