    Who wins?

    Yes. Loma has yet to fight at 135, he will in his next fight. But we can't go any lower as prime Pac was realistically 135-140 lbs stage of career.

    Every time I watch Loma I'm mesmerised by his skills. Prime Pac however was a physical demon, even faster than Loma (handspeed), heavier hands and even better cardio.

    Athletic god (with good skills) vs Skills god (with good athleticism)

    Dude, shot Pacquiao is a 50/50 fight.

    Prime Pacquiao (Diaz to Marquez IV) ices and puts Lomachenko through a wormhole in under 3 rounds.

    I love your description of Athletic God Vs. Skills God.

    No way Pac takes out a prime Loma in 3. Pac usually would grind his opponents down.
    Only two guys that he took out early were Hatton and Morales.

    4 rounds, then?

    Prime Pacquiao would have an advantage in speed and power and a slight advantage on weight and size. Plus, pre-KTFO6, Pacquiao's jaw was forged iron.

    Sorry, I don't see Lomachenko surviving the onslaught. Pacquiao will take the fight to him from the opening bell, catch him, and finish him.

    And what is "current Lomachenko at 135?" We don't know. Let's wait until after the Linares fight and answer this poll later.

    Again, go look at those "older" Pacquiao fights. He would always grind his opponents down. If David Diaz can go 10 rounds with a prime Pacquiao, then there is a strong case for Loma being able to go rounds as well.

    It was a new weight class for Pacquiao and he got him out of there in 9 rounds. Before that, he stopped legends in Barrera and Morales. But to me, absolute prime Pacquiao (ability and physically) came at the ODLH fight.

    This. Loma's resume is paper thin.

    Lomachenko's got otherworldly skills, but so far it's been proven against inferior opponents. It isn't his fault, but we must go off of his resume, which is pretty hollow.

    Lomachenko doesn't hit hard. And nowhere as hard as Morales/Barrera/Marquez. Pacquiao walks through his shots and blasts him out. I don't see Lomachenko deterring Pacquiao.

    Not arguing when Pacquiao was in his prime or whom he would have beat in his prime. But i find it ridiculous to state that Pac would have steamrolled Loma in a handful of rounds.
    He certainly had the right tools and style to beat Loma.

    Agree to disagree. But that would be my prediction.
