    Manny's done.

    Peak Manny vs Loma? That would be amazing.

    I like watching Manny Pacquiao, incredibly gifted fighter. Loma schools him though. Loma has mastered aspects of boxing that Manny probably doesn't even know exist. Add that to Loma's youth advantage. I think it's a no contest. Loma makes Manny look like Manny made DLH look.

    If it's at 135 pac would get schooled he have a better chance at 140 though.

    I don't know about Manny ending up like DLH. Manny had a lot more power to do that and DLH was also severely dehydrated fighter coming in weighing less than the much smaller Pacquiao fight night.

    Loma v Pac would be interesting at 135. At 140 I would favor Manny's power. But a skilled boxer like Loma would make it interesting.

    I'd love to see this fight because even a completely shot worn Pac would win this and again remove any lingering doubts.
    Pac has only really lost to a Hail Mary in recent years and even though he is a shadow of his former self he would beat Loma, though I do like Loma.

    I do agree it's a better fight at 140 than 135. I don't favor Pacquaio at any weight over any fighter of Loma's boxing pedigree with the speed Loma has. Pac could have the power to KO a HW at his size and it wouldn't matter. Can't KO what you can't hit. Pac is IMO right up there with RJJ as the most gifted fighters the sport has seen, but he is now, always has been a very technically flawed fighter. Roach cleaned up some of that, but not all. It's what I said about Pac ever fighting Mayweather. (and I was right, lol). Same goes with Loma, equal speed. leaps and bounds above technically. That will beat Pac 10 times out of 10. Technically sound with no speed JMM, gave him fits for 4 fights, lol.

    Loma is weirdly a whole level better than Prime let alone this version of Pacquiao.

    Yeah... I have zero interest in this fight. Mythical matchup between Loma and prime manny at 130lbs is tantalizing to think about...but i have no desire to watch some 140lb matchup between this two fighters right now.

    140 is too heavy for Loma and Manny should only be getting matched with other old guys like Mayweather and Marquez at this point.

    Give Loma fights against Vargas, Salido, Rigo, Pedraza, Coralles are all better fights. Mares, santa cruz, Frampton are excellent fights if they move up and change promoters. Linares is boxing at it's finest.

    no need for Pacmonster.

    Exactly. 130's actually one of the better divisions in boxing. Then at 135 I'd love to see Loma-Garcia. Prime p4p talents close to the same size. What's the point of a Pacquiao fight? He's only had two fights above featherweight, and he's supposed to fight a welterweight? Look at his legs and frame, he just doesn't have the body to move up that high. And if he beats Pac, then what? Is he pressured to stay at welterweight? Boxing would be such an outrageous spectacle with no competitive logic if Loma-Pac happens.

    PAC is done. He quits sooner than Walters.

    Pac cannot make 135 but this would be great for Loma. He deserves to start getting paid big money not the 500 K ball park figure he made tonight.

    I think it would be a great fight because Loma is in his physical prime, but im just not sure if he's ready for Pac right now. Only Great fighters beat Pac.
