Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says He is Targeting a Lomachenko Showdown

[Ajvar]

It's ridiculous to suggest that Pacman will say no mas in a fight against Loma.
I am 100% Loma's fan but Pac has 50-50% winning this fight. It is like Salido-Loma II except both Pac and Loma are way more experienced than Salido and past Loma.
Pacman believes this is the best move in his career which brings money and where he still has better chance of winning than agains Crawford. Also Pac doesn't want to fight on Undercart.

As for Loma, what's the best way to go UP in weight than a fight against a Legend and with a prepared excuse of "Pac was 2 weight category bigger than me".

Ummm, top 5 of all time??? You're reaching...

No. No reaching. Pacs legacy will outshine Mayweathers over time. In the future when old fight fans go back and watch old fights they will watch Pac over Frauds. I can't think of one Fraud fight I would watch again. Watching Pac Mans trilogy with Morales is hard to beat.

I hope they aren't fighting for a title at a catchweight. Having said that I doubt Manny can make 135 anymore. Crawford could really hurt him at 140 and Lomo at 135 would wear him down because Manny would be weakened by the weight lose. He should just retire if he's not in financial trouble. If he is in financial trouble no amount of revenue is going to help him if he's reckless with his money. I can't see any other reason he would be fighting Lomo. If it's about his legacy he would have rematched Horn.

DLH-Pacquiao anyone?

I like this fight.

Oh yeah, if fight happens, it happens at 138 lbs (139 top) with clause about the morning scales at fight day.

I dunno. Pac only fights 1 minute of a round these days, you don't win against someone like Loma by only fighting 12 minutes of a 36 minute fight.

You just got upset about people making ******ed posts then you go and do same.

I would favor Pac if I didn't suspect that the fight was going to be somewhat fixed, considering it's Arum. Loma simply doesn't have the power to bother Manny. Manny has the size and speed and skill to out-bully Loma if he wanted to.. I seriously think if Manny fights Loma he won't even try. It will be a half-assed 50% Manny that loses on the cards. It will simply be a fight to catapult Loma.

Ostensibly, Manny has a MUCH MUCH better chance to beat Loma than Mikey...But at least Mikey will show up to win...can't say the same about Manny anymore, sadly

I tend to agree with this. Personally, though I think that's too much stress on the bodies of these guys to make the fight. I think Loma needs to climb the ladder effectively and be prepped to fight Garcia at 140. A little too soon to take the jump in weight.

PAC has nothing to prove to anyone! No nothing to prove..
He's down for whatever, and shame on Bob for taking advantage of the PACman. Bob, pay PAC what you stole from him, and leave the man alone.

As one *** to another, Bob, you are a POS! I'm sure you never go to synagogue you turd...

What money he stole? Pacquiao never claimed bob stole money from him, in fact hes said directly that bob pays him what hes supposed to get. He got 20-100 million for about 15 fights straight so spare me with the poor Manny B.S. Im a big Pacquiao fan and id be the first to say something if he was getting screwed but the facts just dont support that theory

Make it at 140
