Loma shakes head at Pacquiao fight talk

[Spoon23]

Loma has never shown the slightest interest in chasing money fights.

Plenty of fighters would love to fight Pac (or Mayweather, or Canelo) because it would result in the biggest payday of their career.

I don't blame fighters for wanting to make money. They deserve it.

But if you think that is the only thing which motivates every single boxer - then that says more about yourself than it does about reality.

Well it's not only a money fight. It's also a legacy defining fight. Just as how Pac demolished DLH @ 147. That leaped Pac's career to stratospheric heights. That's what this fight is about. The passing of the torch if he can handle the dance. As you can see, he can't. So that's that.

It's a money fight and career defining fight. The one who slays Pac's head gets the baton. Becomes a Super Star bigger than they are at present. That's plain common sense.

Let's keep it real. The reason He can't fight Pacquiao is he is too feather fisted to handle Pacquiao, he knows it, I know it, and you know it. So yup, Loma should stay in his lane and feast in 135 were he is actually having a hard time already. That's more than he can chew. That's reality.

LOMA CAN'T SLAY THE DRAGON (PACQUIAO)

That's says more about what his limits are.

If Loma truly felt he'd win he'd be all over that fight. That fight would do more for his career than any other. He doesn't like his chances, any other excuse is BS. The excuse saying Loma won't get any credit is especially laughable, he doesn't get any credit fighting the guys he is now, Pacquiao would give him fortune and fame.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Manny will fight anyone in he's prime while loma scared to fight a 40 years old. There you have it folks.

Loma shakes his head every time when heard about the name Pacquiao..lol

This is the same guy that was scared Mikey will make him quit so he wanted no part of mikey at all at 135! this dude is happy beating up hasbeen ricans and no names weirdos.

Of Spoons 19,000 posts, I would guess 18,980 are about Pacquiao.

I remember Manny just tracking around 350-400K buys against the likes of Barrera, Morales, and Marquez.

Manny's PPV numbers only started tracking a million buys when he actually moved up three weight classes, fought and retired Dela Hoya.

It's like the fanbase transferred or something. But definitely the Dela Hoya name was bigger compared to Pacquiao back then.

But now it's Pacquiao who has the name value and the possibility of someone retiring him but Loma won't take it.

Meh, I'd rather see them both in separate ways. Loma has some other business to do like shutting up Lopez and Haney. Tank will be his big ticket for money fights should he grow a pair of balls to fight him.

Would love to see a fight between Pac and Loma but wouldn't be disappointed if it doesn't happen

I don't think it is a legacy defining fight. Pac is a superstar, no doubt about that.

But they are at different enough stages of their careers, and at different enough weights, that it doesn't seem like a natural or obvious fight to happen.

I have no interest in seeing Loma try to go above 135, and I have no interest in seeing Pac try to boil down to 135 either.

I'd let Robbie Barrett's words explain my point., but that said, yes Loma knows he can only dance @ 135. That's his lane. He can go no further. That's why only greatness are for the bold and the daring. He thinks 138 catch weight will be too much for him. He has reached his plateau.

Just remember everyone knows the Fame and the big bucks is @ 147. That's the reason why Pac went all the way to 147 that's where the fame and money is. Loma doesn't even have to go 147. He just needs to go 138 and he can get that fame. A big star like Pacquiao can go down for him and make it a super fight to watch.

But.. as Robbie explained..

Robbie is known as the single worst poster on NSB, and is likely on more ignore lists than anyone else.

I know he is on mine. He's worse than a fool. He's a shitty human being.

Loma doesn't need to follow in anyone else's footsteps to achieve greatness, and he sure doesn't need to fight at higher weights.

I don't know where some boxing fans got the idea that you need to move up in a whole heap of weights in order to achieve greatness. I don't agree with that idea at all. How many divisions that people compete in is irrelevant to their boxing greatness - and it is more a factor of how old they were when they began than anything else.

Personally I prefer to see competitions of skill versus skill - not skill versus size.

I believe that Loma will go down as one of the ATGs. He won't need to step above 135 to do that.
