    Honestly until I see more from Loma against bigger fighters Ill have to go with Pac. People, as usual with great fighters, have become conditioned to past prime Pac, but at his best he was an absolute beast and I think his physicality, talent, and relentlessness would give Loma problems.

    Thats just as of now though.... could change in a few years if I see a bit more from Loma against certain types of opponents.

    Thats also not a big knock on Loma, I just really really rate a prime version of Pac.

    Maybe we haven't seen Lomachenko at his best yet.

    Pac in 2009 would destroy Loma.

    So why Did LomaChicken ducked Manny recently and Manny is old and almost washed-up?

    I feel Loma`s jab is relentless along with his great movement, I don`t Pac could of dealt with Loma`s jab the same way he couldn`t deal with Floyd`s except Loma would throw far more jabs, I pick Loma.

    obviously pac its stupid to match a novice against an ATG.

    time will tell what "Nomas" becomes. Maybe even one day we might argue he makes Pac say the unbelievable.

    Watch Lomas amateur fights, at times he fought guys as tall as 182cm and dominated them, quite insigntful and surprising how good he can be inside, part of his game I always overlooked, Pacman of course is a different beast but I can't see him winning a decision vs Loma, I can see Packan KOing him. If Loma beats Linares and maybe Mikey I will then say he'd be my fav to beat prime Pac

    Loma's good but what he's achieved in comparison to Pac is paltry I can't see anyone favouring Loma over prime Pac.

    Pac has proven himself to be an ATG, he was an offensive tornado of violence in his prime. Loma's defence is very good but I can't see him overcoming the sheer pressure Pac brings.

    Pac was something else in his prime. I give the edge to Pac for one reason.....Pac would throw punches with Loma. Pac won't go defensive like most of Loma's opponents have done so far. Add in the power and I see Pac winning. Now, is it possible that Loma is able to adapt to this......yes. Loma just hasn't faced his equal in the ring. Until that happens and we see how he reacts, I give an edge to prime Pac. Great fight!

    It would be an amazing contest, probably taking prime Pac though.
