    Don't know anything about MMA. Just know that Lomachenko ducked Pacquiao.

    For whatever reason loma didn't want any part of pac. He said he was old and didn't want to fight him.

    Who you got winning at 135 and 140 though? It kind of speaks volumes about Pac that an ancient Pac would still be the best name and win on Loma's resume.

    I don't think pac can make 135 anymore and would be drained loma would beat him there. At 140 id favor pac.

    Pac can make 135 and he will only be slightly less effective. Pac has to eat a ton of food during training camp to put on weight. You can see his training camp videos. He looks skinny as a rail after training heats up.

    Pac by KO at 135, 137, 138, 140 and up.

    Look at Pac's body when he takes his shirt off. Dude is skinny. He probably weighs 140-141 here.

    Why not fight both than? First Morales then the fighter that beat him before Manny did...

    Perhaps because Manny had little intention of moving up at the time. Besides, Raheem lost his next fight to Freitas.

    Nobody was talking about David Diaz we were talking about Oscar and your stupid opinion that Pac should have stayed at 135 and fight fighters who just lost instead of fighting Oscar.

    Floyd took two fights against the likes of Sosa and Brusseles to become a mandatory for C Level Arturo Gatti who was the weakest champion at 140 and i dont see your ass complaining . Just like i dont see you criticize Canelo for cherrypicking Rocky Fielding when there were much better titlists at 168 that he could have faced.

    You demand of Pac what you dont demand of other fighters plus your knowledge of boxing is abysmal . Your posts is something a casual would say or something out of a youtube comment section.

    Why did Clenelo cherrypick Kovalev? Kovalev had been stopped by feathered-fisted Ward, feather-fisted Eleider Alvarez, and was almost on the verge of being stopped and retired by a prospect named Yarde. And because Clenelo is an all around disgrace, not only did Kovalev have to start camp almost immediately after almost being KO'd by Yarde, but he had a crippling rehydration clause to contend with as well.

    FACT: Clenelo cherrypicked Kovalev and avoided Beterbiev and Bivol. Bivol has also called out Clenelo and said he'd face him at Super Middle.

    OK... so when PAc versus ODLH was announced, you already KNEW DLH would be drained!?! :lol: You're so full of ****! Of course you would lie here just to try and save face.

    You weren't apart of the board back then, but EVERYONE picked oscar. And we're to believe you had the insight to know he'd be drained?! Phony ass liar...

    Not a controversial statement.

    Floyd won when they squared off and that win has aged tremendously in fairness. That still wasn't Pac at his best sure, but it wasn't Floyd at his best either. It's a W worth less than it could be, but certainly worth a fair bit. They both have great legacies, so preferring either is fine. Floyd obviously has the unbeaten legacy whereas Pac is still beating some of the division's better fighters in his 40's, which is remarkable in itself.
