How well would Lomachenko do if he was a natural 140 pounder moving up to welterweight?

    I think you're asking if Lomachenko was naturally bigger (ie.....140-147 movement as opposed to 126-135 movement), how would he fair against the current crop of WW's? I think I'd pick him over any current WW. I think Crawford, Spence and Thurman would be competitive but I'd still tab Lomachenko.

    If Pacquiao was a natural welterweight, NO ONE survives him.

    True. Instead he ducked Manny.

    If Loma was a natural 140lber moving up to Welterweight, he would clean out the Welterweight division and look at making inroads into Light Middleweight.

    And if Loma was a natural 140lb fighter and cleaned out 147, you can bet your bottom dollar there'd be some people here (like The Akbar One) who wouldn't be satisfied nor acknowledge Loma's accomplishments until he went up to Cruiserweight and beat Briedis and Dorticos.
