    That is the fight which catches the interest of the boxing fans ... Is there any other more significant fight to that one in terms of just intrigue ... I would love to see that one ...

    Pacquiao-Lomachenko poops all over Lomachenko-Gamboa. Like all over, smearing it deep into the pores.

    Gamboa is on the Lemeuix v Stevens undercard (legit, worldclass slugfest). He's back at 130lbs so i believe this fight is being lined up.

    Would love to see it. Nobody can outbox Loma, you can only KO him. Gamboa has the elite speed and power to do that at 130 (though maybe 5% chance at best!)

    But sorry, Pacquiao is fighting at 144-147 lbs, Loma is just entering 130 lbs class ...

    That's why he would like to see that fight. Pac should be trying to make a fight with Crawford but that ain't going to happen.

    He hasn't proposed that fight because he doesn't like Wilder. Lomachenko v Gamboa would be a great fight if Gamboa got active again and had a couple of fights before facing Lomachenko.

    Gamboa defense is suspect plus he is getting long in the tooth.
    It will be one sided. Loma's only challenge will be Garcia.

    Gamboa is not relevant.

    I have zero interest in this fight.

    Arum would never agree to a fight Vs. Loma.

    Doesn't matter. If Loma chose Gamboa, Arum will go along despite past grievances.

    We usually can't get ideal fights we want. I do not like or rate Gamboa like most on this forum do, but it wouldn't be too awful I suppose. Lomachenko would tear him apart, though. Maybe Gamboa would have some spots to make it a little interesting but I think he would get toyed and ground down.

    It's decent fight. Lomochencko should have pretty exciting next two years.
