First of all, i'm 90% it won't happen, but if it would i think it's an easy win for Pac Man. Right now Loma is the better fighter, but the Fillipino's punching power would be too much for him.
Prime Pac wouldn`t beat Loma easy at Loma`s natural weight though no-one would, Floyd fought at that weight and would have knocked Pac out there he was lethal, Floyd vs Loma would have been the greatest fight in that divisions history both fighters have/had some many less flaws than Pac.
Will see how Pacquiao looks in April, for sure he is not in his prime anymore, but i think he is still OK. He could get ready for one last big battle.
When was the last time Pac fought at 140? Everyone's fantasy fights for him involve a lower weight class lol
I wouldn't do it if I was Loma. He should just wait until Beltran gets that 135 title and fight him instead and Duke it out with the least at 135. Arum is attempting to repeat history in a hurry with Lomachencko by staging his Pac/ Diaz( Loma v Beltran) and De La Hoya v Pacquiao ( Loma v Pac) all in one year. The minute Loma agrees to 140 he will be called out by everyone, so anyone who reads this should understand that. If he beats Pacquiao at 140 he will be hunted. I still wanna see it though.
If this happens, it's because Arum is looking to inflate Loma on the back of his aging (and mostly likely shot) former cash-cow Pacquiao. Asking Pacquiao to come down in weight is an obvious nail in the coffin. Clearly there's no love at Top Rank.
Holy ish...... Prime JMM, JLC, MAB, Naz at SFW, young ODLH... I wouldn't make Loma a favorite over any of them from 126-140. I like Loma, but prime 130-140 Pac and Floyd would be solid favorites. I'm not confident in picking him over Mikey or Bud at 140. Loma would outwork Pac right now. Could even see Freddie keeping Manny on his stool if he's way down and looking his rds, but 150 rds ago.... Loma would be KTFO. AS WOULD FLOMIE
It is all but confirmed WBSS is doing a LW tournament starting later this year so a pacquaio fight would obviously prevent Loma's inclusion.
