    Arum said Lomachenko's father refused the fight.

    Where would you rate Manny P4P now then? I don`t anyone can challenge Loma in the P4P stakes except Crawford.

    Loma is ranked higher than Manny on the current p4p list, but that's not the issue. The issue is that the higher ranked guy wants no part of the lesser ranked guy. I really don't think Loma is confident of a win here.

    The fight should happen at 140. Not only is having Manny's name on your resume a great thing, but loma will also get a career payday. It's a win win here for Loma and there is no disputing that.

    No i don't but like i said he's an atg ANY guy would want an atg on their record if the fight can be made. If loma don't want it that's fine i do understand that their 2 weight classes apart.

    Does he? Maybe. But how much? Pac is still plenty fast nowadays.

    His "fast hands" didn't save him from 1KO lost though

    Crawford would destroy Manny, Roy Jones said what you notice as you reach around 40 as a fighter is that your leg speed can`t keep up hands, you could see this happening v Broner, Crawford would have landed much more power shots on Broner and Spence would have landed more body shots, how long do you think Manny can remain at No.2 then?

    Loma still have to deal with them because he doesn`t have light weight power, it was a great fight.

    Roy Jones staed on a youtube vid that Manny`s leg speed isn`t keeping up with his hands, you could see this in this fight.

    I don`t think 140 would be Loma`s best fighting weight at all though.

    Yes i saw that. He doesn't have the same bounciness or the fast darting in and out but then i saw all those trauts back when pac was still reckless in his offense. But now i think it has to do with his more rounded style as much as his age.
