Beltran is the most logical choice, with Davis as #2, and the Mikey Garcia fight is still ways out. I'd think Lomachenko would want to get better accustomed to 135 with maybe one or two more fights and then bring on Mikey, that is if Mikey doesn't himself move up to 140.

Both sides want PPV money for that fight, but neither fighter is a PPV star or well known by casual fans. I want to see that fight but my GUESS is what Loma-Pacquiao will be made first in order to get casual fans knowing who Loma is, and then if Pacquiao passes his stardom onto Loma, THEN Loma will be able to carry the PPV with Mikey.
So yeah, I want to see the fight too, but don't act like there is any fear at play here. Loma ducks no one. The timing of this fight is about money, not fear.
But I don't think it'll be 4 or 5 years. I think we get:
Loma v:
Beltran
(Unknown)
Mikey v:
Easter
Commey(IBF mandatory)
Then we get that fight mid to late 2019.

Originally posted by chimichanga2 View PostI don't know how I feel about Loma-Pac at 135. I'd like to see Loma win the WBO belt in August and go for Mikey in Nov-Dec. But people on this forum think Loma-Mikey is at least 2-3 years away which is really sad.

I would love to see Linares rematch. I would also say Mikey Garcia but I know that fight is not possible.

Pacquiao may be easier to negotiate with Bob Arum after Beltran, but I wonder if he will want Lomachenko to come up above 140 which I think he may be reluctant to do.
