    He doesnt have the frame for 140. These guys at 140 walk around at 150+ and boil down for the fight.

    Lomachenko aint no Pacman lol.

    I never said it was realistic, and not sure how you got that out of my post. The question was asked if Loma will step up. I even acknowledged he was too small.

    I think people forget Loma is 31. I just can’t see him moving up in weight as he gets slower due to age. That sounds like a recipe for getting knocked out hard. Canelo Khan hard. If he does move up I hope his chin and speed get the new address because that doesn’t always happen.

    Lomachenko wanted no part of Pac before Broner. He wants even less of Pac after Pac beat the **** out of Thurman.

    Pac knocks him out or Lomachenko quits on his stool.

    So id its not realistic and you acknowledge he's too small then what's the point of asking the question? I mean, what are you asking then?

    You sound just like the Rigo fanboys that swore Loma was ducking the fight when Loma was blowing it off. Keep it up and, better yet, get all your buddies to join in. Then Loma will take the fight out of sheer annoyance just like before.

    I didn't ask anything, I answered the question. Let's just leave it alone.

    The difference is Lomachenko fought Rigo and outright passed on Pac.

    Yeah he could go to 140 and win a title imo.he will be tiny and could be in danger of getting sparked out of course but he's a special athlete and boxer.

    He is way too small for 135, weighs in 137 on fight night, he’d lose so much movement and speed at 140

    Loma is never going to 140lbs.

    He's dwarfed by the likes of Linares and Cambell as it is. Those guys can't even compete up at 140lbs.

    Loma will fight cambell, Lopez or Comney, and then i imagine he'll target Berchelt at either 130 or 135lbs. They'll make a last offer to Tank and Haney at whatever weight they want.....and after they turn it down he'll live out his days defending his titles at 130lbs for a short run before retiring.

    Really? You think Lomachenko can handle Pac's blend of speed, power, and angles? You think he can hurt Pac when a 165+ pound Thurman landed flush shots to no effect?

    Think about how Pedraza, Linares, and far lesser opponents have touched up Lomachenko.
