    Shudder to think? He wouldn't do anything to Broner except win on points. He's not hurting or stopping Broner. And if Broner fought Lomachenko the same way he fought Vargas, he's knocking Lomachenko out. Mosley would also brutally stop Lomachenko.

    Pac is all wrong for loma and him and his dad knows it.

    PACs footwork is basically fast enough to keep up with loma, and you simply can’t dodge that many punches coming at you by slipping and being in range which is what loma likes to do.

    The best way to beat Pac is with distance control.

    Is that how the great Jeff Horn and HOFer Tim Bradley did it?

    Pac is fast moving forward. Lateral not as much.

    I'd favor Pac. He had a high work rate, and that unorthodox style of speedy punching, as well as a chin. Loma while having superb footwork and defense, he does get hit during fights when guys actually punch back. I'd favor Pac by decision, maybe stoppage.

    Any pac would annihilate Loma.,
    Loma is naturally bigger than pac, fact.
    And most truly believe 135 is too big for him which should tell you everything

    Pac would simply neat him up like he did mab,. There's zero chance for Loma to beat a trained pac..

    There's a bunch of fighters right now that smash this Loma myth of greatness

    I'd love to hear how this fantasy could ever happen, in your mind . I believe you could truly believe what you said but I think it's simply impossible

    135 Pac > 135 Loma all day
    Fast hand, fast feet, fast combinations, and big power. I think he'd be too much for Loma.

    So were both mab and especially jmm.
    There's so much more to fighters than strictly talent and skill.. what's inside a fighter is so much more important than what we see.

    It's really what separates the truly great fighters and the A level talent but both what's needed to win at all costs

    Loma has amazingly quick hands, fast constantly moving feet and fast combo`s too, he`s just not as strong as Pac.

    Yes backing Loma up is probably the best way to beat Loma I just feel the stuff he does in the ring is breathtaking and would really confuse Manny, he has a higher fight IQ.

    Mosley was twice as good as Broner, Loma`s defense would baffle Broner he`d hardly land a punch.
