    Lomachenko should gain Pacquiao and Mikey

    Lopez won`t give him a rematch, Davis, Haney, Ryan and others are not even big names. Why bother about that guys.

    Move to 147, fight Pacquiao and Mikey and retire with 2 big pay days.

    One giant problem with that. Loma is a natural featherweight or jr lightweight which is part of the reason he lost to a very big powerful lightweight Lopez. He should change weight classes and return to 126 or 130 where he belongs and the weight class suits his natural fighting weight. He always refused to go to 140 before because he knew that was much too heavy a weight for him to fight at. That has not changed.

      Lomachenko doesn't have the size and with his injury history would definitely be a mistake moving up to 140 and 147lbs.

      Based on watching his style its become clear why Loma struggles with guys who are bigger than him and its simply the fact bigger guys especially those with a chin or power don't respect his size and power.

      First couple rounds use your jab to download information on where your opponent will move and what your opponent reacts through feints.

      This isn't available to him at those weights. His style isn't effective.

      His best shot would be to call out Devin Haney and beat him in order to "unify" again with Teofimo.

      Other than that he has plenty of options but none of them are spectacular or will regain him the recognition he had before.

          Oh for sure then go after GGG then Canelo, then Beterbiev for ATG legacy.

          RIP Lomachenko

            wtf would Pacquiao fight Loma after Loma has lost all his hype after his miserable performance in and after his match with Lopez? Old Pac is looking for some big final fights, Loma doesn't even come close to fitting that bill.

              I am sure Lomachenko can beat some fringe contender at 147 and get a contender status.

                  Why? Because this is prize fighting. Good fighters should gain greatness.

                  Gervonta, Ryan and Haney are no draw.

                    Loma is pretty small for 135 though. He was dwarfed by Campbell. Even skinny Linares and young Teo made Loma look small at LW.

                    He doesn't have the power or durability that someone like Pac had to be successful at 147. Pac also had a lot more muscle mass, Loma is skinny as a rail.
