    Despite the majority of the people believing that Pacquiao had beaten Horn, the official "L" on his record is just as ugly as the 1 in the draw column of Gennady's once pristine record. So really, Pac is 3-0 in his last 3 fights and he almost had the gigantic Horn out of there in the 9th round.

    Lomachenko SD/MD Pacquiao @ 135
    Pacquiao TKO Lomachenko @ 138 CW
    Pacquiao KO Lomachenko @ 140

    I don't think the surging Loma can overcome the way-past-his-best legend and ATG, who is a TOUGH OUT for ANYONE @ 147.

    I think Pacquiao will be faster and harder hitting if he drops to 140.

    I had Horn winning but it was narrow. Loma isn't happening imo. Too old & too big but I'd still watch if it did lol

    I'd prefer Linares & Berchelt right now.

    LW PAC now would be zombie. I think Loma would punk him. LWW the margins narrow but I don't see Loma at 140 anytime soon..

    Lomachenko's youth, speed, and skills should nullify any size advantages Pacquiao might enjoy.

    Do you honestly think Linares and Berchelt are actually more difficult challenges than Pacquiao?

    He wouldn't get credit for it. I think he should but he won't. No, I'd pick PAC to punk them both but at LW he'd just get called an old zombie. Heck, bring it on but I'd prefer a prime or near prime rival champion.

    Stupid fight for Loma to take. Too many built in excuses to discredit his win vs PAC.

    Pacquiao and Roach have maintained for YEARS that he walks around at 140 and has to eat an obscene amount of calories to put on the weight to compete at 147.

    I call BS on that. Dude has been 150 on fight night for a long time now. At one point the weight will stay on.
    They moved down a bit for Avocado Man, but then decided to stay at 157.

    *Pacquiao was 140 vs Morales back in 2006. You mean to tell me that 140 is still his natural weight?

    People forget that Bradley was outboxed, and dropped twice. Lomachenko is a favorable matchup for Pacquiao, a fight he can win if the Pac from the Bradley fight shows up. Lomachenko doesn't hit hard, and would have to box superbly for 12 rounds. Pac with that awkward style, still has some quickness, and handspeed.

    The same way i call B.S. on FlIVd claiming he barely weighs 150lbs there is no way Manny walks around at 140lbs. He weighed 152 lbs iirc for the Flivd fight.

    The odds are not in Lomachencko's favor so he will not take that fight.
    Vasyl's father is no fool and they learned from that fight with Salido that Vasyl has weight limitations he can't go pass.

    It's in Manny's favor for that fight and it won't be even at the least bit. Plus I find it hypocritical for Manny to pull up Loma but duck Crawford. It's a coward move for anyone to support it. Just imagine the outrage of Floyd pulling up Loma to 147 and he could make him a big offer. Tears for miles.

    Not really. Pac is the smallest Welterweight in the game and he's smaller than all of the Junior Welterweights as well. There's a reason why GGG and Sergio were willing to fight Floyd @ 154, but not Pac. Both guys have said that Pac was too small. Floyd's roided bodyguards also expressed shock by how small Pac was in person. Such observations don't come by because Pac is a little smaller than Floyd. Mikey Garcia, who sparred Pac for more than a month, said that Pac was the same guy whether at 135, 140, or 147. Hell, Floyd himself said that Pac had the look of fear on his face during the weigh in face off because Pac didn't realize how much bigger Floyd was.

    Mosley, Vargas, Algieri, and Broner all have said Pac was a very small dude.
