    Im a loma fan big time . however i don't get why he would turned down a huge pay day against a legend. Who many would give their right hand for . being a loma fan myself i appreciate his IQ and Lomas desire to fight the bests. However i find it hypocritical that Loma would be willing to drag up the smaller ,older rigo up . but loma himself wouldn't mess with an older pac .


    All opinions are welcome .

    Yea its a good payday and huge fight but I think he said its a lose-lose situation for him, if he won he wouldnt get credit for beating 40yo Pac. He was at 130 back then too

    Quite clearly not willing to fight the best as he
    stayed in the ams way too long and as a pro he simply just has not yet. He didn't want pac because he would have lost

    Lomachenko wasn't ready to retire. Pac would have iced him Hatton style or dished out a grotesque 12 round beating that would change him forever.

    I agree completely. Loma would have been beaten to a brutal pulp

    I think people are giving Loma to little credit when it comes to this fight...

    Lomachenko seems maxed out at 135. I think he knows that.

    He didn't feel Pac would be drained enough.

    Loma is never going to 140lbs for anyone. He's bloated at 135lbs as it is.

    Beat Lopez, unify the division and go back to 130lbs where he belongs at his peak powers.

    Pacquiao started at what? 115? I think it would've been a good fight.
