    Really? Horn was a complete nobody prior to fighting PAC. He got huge exposer from that fight. If that fight didn’t happen noone outside of Australian boxing fan would even know who Horn was.

    Fighting guys like PAC/Floyd/Canelo isn’t just about the win. They expose you to a huge audience and set you up for present and future earnings from the exposer.

    Loma is a great fighter but he is an unknown fighter to the mass. In my opinion it was a dumb career move if he turned down an offer.

    Marciano whooped his here Louis. This is boxing, use every advantage that is given to you. There are more good excuses to fight Pac than negitive. Especially if Pac beats Broner!

    1) Most people had Horn losing

    2) Horn was a COMPLETE UNKNOWN outside of Australia; but the Pac "win" earned him a high stakes, high profile showdown w/ Crawford—had he beaten Crawford without controversy, he'd be a glorified superstar—but Horn immediately became a name in boxing with the Pac "win"

    W/ Lomachenko, he's been riding a wave of hype and P4P reputation for years. And he's been exposed to the masses via ESPN. Lomachenko would explode into the mainstream overnight If he beat Pac.

    Loma didn't want that smoke.

    Just promise us that if the fight ever happens and Loma beats his ass, you're not going to melt down like a certain other poster did when Wilder got clowned. Even Pac gets old, and yeah, he's old. He just doesn't have the speed he once had, and speed is what he needs to beat Loma.

    What makes you think Pac could even land a glove on Loma? He struggled to find Horn, Loma is doing the matrix against 135 pound prime fighters.
    I want Loma to fight Pac, just so everybody can see the levels and get some idea how vast the difference is in boxing skills and IQ. I think that the difference will do something for Loma’s legacy, we would be able to see that while Pac is faded he clearly never had anywhere near the boxing skills that Lomachenko has.

    I smell bull****. Wouldn't surprise me if Manny blitzes tonight's Loma. He looked flat tonight. He did what he had to do and the other guy wasn't doing much to him but he looked off.

    Everyone became a star off an old guy. Fluid, Pac, the generations before. Tyson vs Holmes, so on and so forth. For Loma to spout this crap, it tells you a lot about himself, dude is delusional and drunk on his own juice.

    Loma needs to move up to 140/147 Horn is a good start to his welter weight campaign.

    It does say a lot about Lomachenko, about his integrity and respect for the sport. He’s not just a rare fighter in the ring.

    Yeah 147lb :dunno. He's a small lightweight at welter it would be laughable
