Manny Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko at 130

[RomanReigns]

Who wins this fight? I actually think Pacquiao would KO Lomachenko in the later rounds.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Pacquiao’s too dynamic and explosive. Loma would give him a hell of a fight though.

[MastaBlasta]

Both in prime? That would be an all-time battle. I'd favor Paq. No outcome would be out of the question though.

[Larry the boss]

I think its a great fight but Manny will have the speed, power,size and maybe even the footwork advantage here

[ELPacman]

Manny's left hand under 135lbs was impossible to see unless you watch in slow motion. I can't see Loma getting out of the way of it. It's put just about everyone down 140lbs and below.

[Larry the boss]

Loma would give him a lot of issues because he is highly skilled and well trained, But he can not hurt Manny and Manny WILL hurt him

[QueensburyRules]

- -Big fan of both.

Obviously both one off fighters neither could find adequate sparring partners for. Manny had bukos rivals to test his mettle whereas Loma near no one to test him.

We could see this yet, both already at their limits, so it could never answer the hypothetical.

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

I think Lomachenko would struggle against someone as fast and powerful as Pacquiao who also bring awkward southpaw angles.

[bojangles1987]

Pac was just about at his best at 130, or at least about to be at his best. I think he pulls out a really tough fight.

In terms of speed, footwork, and angles they are similarly matched, though I would give an edge to Pacquiao.

In terms of power, remember that Pacquiao was knocking guys down at welterweight, whereas Loma seems already maxed out where is currently is.

So because Pac has moderate edge in speed, footwork, and angles as well as a sharp edge in power, I'd say Pac vs Loma at 130 is heavily Pac-favored. Which is not to take anything away from Loma, who is a prodigy in his own right; it's just that Pac is a freak of nature.
