    Crawford's too big for Pacquiao at this stage of his career and Lomachenko is significantly more fan friendly (Crawford would be on the backfoot all night long against even this Pacquiao) and is currently riding a crest of admiration from fans, fighters, and media alike.

    Yeah, its not fun to fight cowards who haul ass for 12 rounds. And trust me, against Pacquiao the cowardly Bud that fought Postol would be present and accounted for.

    Not sure wtf you’re talking about but Loma is the easier fight for Manny at this point however you want to cut it and he would most likely be the “coward who haul ass for 12 rounds” if he even makes it to 12. Now bud is a cowardly runner. You guys have completely lost your mental faculty.

    Take a break off the internet.

    Pac-Loma would be a PPV fight and maybe a solid payday. Crawford wouldn't be and Pacquiao could lose that fight.

    Pacquiao would be 148-149 on fight night. Crawford rehydrated from 140 to 158. At 147, Crawford might very well be 162-165.

    Pacquiao's too old now to be giving up these crazy size/weight advantages at this stage of his career.

    Not only that, but Lomachenko would pressure Pac, which would make for an explosive showdown.

    You're not surprised that Pac wants nothing to do with Crawford you say. So I say, of course he doesn't, why would a guy who comes to fight like Pac, want to fight a ***** that runs little a little girl for 12 rounds in Crawford, what's so ****ing hard to understand about that? If you're so dense that you're having a hard time processing that, maybe its you who needs a break from the internet. Loma stands right in front off his opponents and boxes their ears off, Bud plays stay away against any moderately dangerous fighter.

    Makes sense Pac is tiny compared to Crawford and shot on top of it.

    Look him up. He’s very interesting. He’s actually a complete nobody with a Twitter account.

    Oh, I’m sorry. I just look to the obvious reason that doesn’t include spin and goal post moving involved. Bud beats Manny. His people know this. Lomachenko and his people know that’s an L. Manny isn’t no Linares. They’re not coming forward or showing any kind of aggression.

    Lomachencko wasn’t even aggressive against Rigondeax which if we want to talk about cowardly performances, that one is up there by your standards. Dude barely even threw punches. I think he landed 50 total punches for that fight and fake complained about Rigondeax overpowering him on holds he couldn’t get out of lmao

    You’re bringing up the Postal fight as an example. Yes Bud fought going backwards and executed a dominant win while in south paw position for 47 minutes of that fight. Postal couldn’t do **** but get countered. Got dropped 2 or three times.

    You guys are clearly over exaggerating Bud going backwards. He still mixed it up and had Postal going backwards plenty of times during that fight. Postal was bigger and has an aggressive style. Lomachenko even with a major size advantage took no chances vs Rigondeax and gave him too much respect. This guy had to move up 2 weight classes. But yeah, Lomachenko is going to come out aggressive and come forward against Manny.

    Sure guys. Lomachenko’s people don’t want that fight. They’re acting Danny Garcia when Manny and Floyd were brought up as opponents. Why would you not want those fights, seriously. I’m only using your spin logic here and of course it works out far better for my case. As I said earlier. Take a break from the internet.
