Would be 10X more meaningful to his legacy than becoming undisputed and/or unifying at 135, a division that is weak AF and with some big ass kids (literally kids) that will be at 140 in no time. Haney is Errol Spence-sized and Ryan Garcia is a freaking giant. Pac thrashed Thurman, so the beating-an-old-man-won't-mean-anything argument just won't fly. I think Lomachenko should fight Pac at a catch-weight between 140-145.
Lomachenko said he wants to make history. Instead of acting like a chick whose boyfriend just nailed her BFF and uploaded a clip to social media, why don't you argue that unifying lightweight would hold more weight than grabbing a legitimate 147 title?
How can Lomachenko try to become the wba super welterweight title holder if your only asking him to fight between the 140-145 margin which is welterweight range???? Could have just put title as trying to beat manny pacquaio which u meant clearly
Loma is going to be smashed if he moves up to 147. He's not Pacquiao who could move up in weight to 7 - 8 different weight classes.
Look. Remember when Loma went up to 135 against Linares ? He said that Linares is much bigger than him and he felt really hurted. Now the same Linares also complained that 140 is too much for him and now going back fighting in 135. Do you get the picture ?
It's like saying "Pac fought at 115lbs and is now fighting at 147lbs. Inoue should do too because Pac did it!"
Despite my Av I am a huge fan of Pacquiao and actually think he might be the greatest fighter since Duran (not the best), but his fan boys are very weird and fanatical
Your post makes no sense. AT ALL. Linares, Campbell, Fortuna, and Bogere are all bigger than Pac on fight night. Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia are absolute GIANTS and are much bigger than Pacquiao despite campaigning 2 divisions lower. Mikey was 154 on fight night against Spence. Salido was 148 — a mere pound from what Pac usually rehydrates to. Size ain't the issue here as Pac will be 148-149 on fight night. It's the skill, speed, power, and chin that had Team Lomachenko rejecting the fight.
