    BREAKING: Roach, Pacquiao and Arum ALL want it!

    He says Lomachenko isn't that good (by the way, idiot Roach watched Loma-Martinez ringside). Talks about the fight at 1:03

    Arum wants it at 135 or 140. Bob Arum said it's his dream match up!

    Lomachenko is a natural 128lber. He's a smaller sized 130lber. At 135 he will be tiny. I didn't want him to touch 135 till he was around 32 and just 140 ambitiously against a cherry picked belt holder at the end of his career.

    Manny at 135 would be a better win than Manny of the last few years at welterweight.

    I've met both Pacquiao and Lomachenko in person. Lomachenko is a bigger person who campaigns at a smaller weight class than Pacquiao. Pacquiao's really 5' 4". Lomachenko is at least 5' 6".

    Roach is silly. Lomachenko is VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD. However, I don't think he beats Pacquiao. Pacquiao would KO every single opponent on Lomachenko's resume. On the same night.

    Pacquiao would have to kill himself to make 135 at this point of his career.

    no way it happens

    No way Manny should boil down that much now. It'd be a replay of his own fight Oscar, only he'd be playing the role of ODLH.

    Roach is not only suffering from park, he's also gone senile?

    Ain't no way Pac is dieting to make 135, wtf is he smoking?

    Freddie is smoking crack.

    Pac can't lose that natural muscle to get down to 135 and bother fighting a near prime loma

    Him and Bob have always said ridiculous things close to fight time. So far Manny is fighting Crawford, Garcia, Broner, Thurman , Lomachencko , Canelo and Golovkin. I'm surprised at no mention of Floyd.

    The vote is actually 6-5 for Lomachenko.

    His view of Lomachenko is deluded.
    If miraculously the fight happens at 135, Loma by UD. Would be Floyd-esque except Lomachenko would make it a much better fight.

    Very interesting by Manny. Manny WOULD ACCEPT the fight! He says he eats extra food to make Welterweight and if he had a regular amount he would actually be 140-141lbs. If he devotes his time to making 135lbs the same way Terence Crawford did (who has a fully welterweight frame), he would be stronger there. It's a shame that he stayed at Welterweight in the first place even though he became an ATG Welterweight

    Loma would get zero credit for draining Pacquiao.

    If he wants the payday fine but don't expect people to credit the victory.

    With 140-141 Pac's natural weight (he bulks to make Welter), he would only need to cut the way Crawford would. As a huge 135lb elite aggressive fighter with a major size, strength, power advantage, it would be an awfully tough fight for Loma who's naturally 128lbs. Hell, he was 129lbs on fight night in November 2014.

    Nah Pac would be too weakened come fight night.

    Loma would stop him.

    Pacquiao is 37. Been in many wars. And is clearly past his prime.

    But a return go 135 could shave a few years off. Its possible.

    Pacquiao could make 135 with ease. Why are people saying he would be drained. His natural walk around weight right now is 141. Hell if he really cut weight hard he may still make 130, but would likely be drained.

    135 is his best weight class at this point. Hell the guy could have stayed at 126 most likely until the late 2000s.
