    Pac is 1-2" shorter than Lomachenko. He's probably slightly thicker, though. Essentially, they're the same size. If they ever fight, you'll see.

    If you didn't know that that was Pacquiao sparring, you would be like no way that guy fights at welterweight!

    :deal:

    Floyd and Pac both had larger frames than Lomachenko, Mayweather has immense reach, Pacman has incredible thickness and strength, height, frame, reach and strength are the key here. Loma has already filled out his base, he cant go any higher, Mayweather for instance filled out his frame in his later years to be able to compete comfortably at the higher weight classes. Also Mayweather was competing against midgets in the lower weights since he himself was a natural junior middleweight.

    I call these people size bullies, natural junior middleweights competing against smaller fighters, case in point Mayweather. Pacman was more impressive since he was after all a small fighter competing among giants.

    You exaggerate. They looked like they belonged in the same weight class, unlike Charlo and Williams when they fought.

    Loma is the same height as Marquez, Cotto, Thurman, he's taller than Porter. I think he could move up, but he would be smart to get with a strength and conditioning coach to add some muscle, instead of carrying what looks to be the start of some pre P.E.D. Marquez like pudge.

    Nah i don't get same impression. Robert always calls Loma p4p #1 or #2 if he wants to boost up his brother. Ofcourse he's gonna say his bro beats him.

    They know it'll be a crazy tough fight.

    As long as they both make 135, that's all that should matter..

    Not really, dude.

    Pacquiao weighed in at 140 for Hatton and rehydrated to 146. Pacquiao weighed in at 144 for Margarito and rehydrated to 148. Margarito weighed in at 150 and rehydrated to 165.

    Crawford weighed in at 140 for Indongo and rehydrated to 158.

    He was what 35? when he faced canelo... not 38 also Floyd has fought at WW or above since 2005 at age 28 wtf have you been? McGregor weighed in at 145 in December of 2015 vs aldo. Floyd could not even make 145 way back in 2009 vs Marquez. Matter of fact Floyd weighed 149.5 and McGregor weighed 153 when they fought last year.. twice as big lol wow. Mayweathers last 16 fights were at welterweight or above he is not nearly as small as you claim he is.

    LMAO at you suggesting he work on conditioning, he's probably the fittest boxer on the planet he's just not a concussive hitter....he's a small guy for the weight, ****in get over it.

    His limb length and shoulder width are small, that doesn't change regardless of conditioning, dude looks like a horseriding jockey.

    It don't matter, if they both make 135 no problem... I'm not going to put much thought into what they weigh going into the fight.

    And Mike Tyson was what 5'9 5-10 by your logic he could of fought at 160 since you know height means weight....
    Height is just one measurement some people have larger frames.

    If you reread, I think you will see that you misunderstood. Some of you Lomachenko ball gobblers are fairly sensitive. I'm talking about putting on intelligent weight, instead of Marquez like pudge. He's not a small guy. He's 5'7, taller than some welterweights. He fits his weight class, he doesn't look like he doesn't belong in it. What's with you Loma gobblers doing that ****? Loma is a top level talent, he doesn't need the gobblers adding on fictional tidbits to try and boost his accomplishments. What's this foolishness? Nobody sees Paul Williams slimness when they look at Lomachenko. Soon Lomachenko will be Rigondeaux's height, with a shoulder width of 12 inches, according to some of you.

    Didn't say that. Just pointing out that the Loma gonad gobblers are making up bull**** tidbits to try and boost him, when it isn't needed. Loma fits 135 fine. He won, a damn good fight. Stop trying to make all these bull**** excuses. He isn't Chocolatito's size, as some of you would try and have others believe. He's 5'7, and is a decent build for the weight class. No Linares wasn't 16 pounds heavier in the ring, and no Linares wasn't four inches taller.

    I read somewhere(and it was like a fact) that Linares was 15 pounds bigger than Lomachenko in the ring(hard to believe).If that's true, based on that, comparing to +15 pounds, you can calculate how big was Lomachenko in that fight.The logic is, the more pounds for Linares, the bigger Lomachenko(sorry for my english).
