    He should find a new career if that is his problem, something more fulfilling maybe? Go be a fire fighter if you want credit or some ****. I think its absolutely ******ed to think he won't get any credit for playing the role of Pacman in the remake of Pac vs Oscar. Loma's a *****.

    Btw, what did the wussy Loma get for his troubles from beating an old and small Rigo? Hello? Anyone? Didn't he Fighter of the Year? WTF? Where's this BS no credit excuse?? He'll drag an old and smaller fighter up, but won't flip the script and try it the other way. Gotcha.

    If this fight does come off Pac should dispose of Loma rather easily. Which is why Pac wants to fight him, he wants something easy. Loma doesn't belong with 140/147 fighters, just like Mikey Garcia. Loma should be pushing to fight Mikey Garcia, not Pacquaio who has more than a good chance to stop him, let alone beat him.

    That's exactly what they said about Oscar, a massacre of Pacman who had no business meeting Oscar.

    Old Pac is a different animal than Old Rigondeaux. He is Lomachenko's mass, and closer to his height as well. People have discarded Pac because he lost a controversial decision to Horn, who is much bigger than Pac, and Pac still almost KO'd him. People forget that that same Pac, had no trouble with fleet footed, and slick Timothy Bradley the fight before. It's a good match up for Pacquiao, and I can see why Roach likes it. If the Pac from the last Bradley fight shows up, he wins, comfortably.

    Maybe, maybe not. Loma facing Pac at this time is not nearly the task it was for Pac facing Oscar. Oscar was huge at 5'10, had every advantage. Had he not goofed on his conditioning or rehydration he, Oscar should have had every tangible advantage. However it didn't play out like everyone thought and that calculated risk and miracle made Pac the name that he is.

    As I wrote above, I find Loma's team a bunch of wussies, they are still using the same **** excuse of no credit while Loma gets named the BWAA Fighter of the Year, after his fight with an old and smaller fighter. The irony could not be anymore succinct.

    Yeah I find their lack of ambition disappointing. Lomachenko has the talent to take some risky fights. It's not like he has an undefeated record to protect. I'd like to see him have the type of balls that Rigondeaux had. He's much younger and in his prime still.

    It's not. Klimas has slammed it. I had mixed feelings when I first heard it was possibly in play. The old master meets his heir apparent! But perspective... Loma is a career FW/SFW thus far. Lightweight is a move up for him. PAC is currently a WW. It would have to be at LW in reality & PAC isn't a LW. Would he get credit for fighting PAC? He should, fading & old he may be but it worked for the superior Anthony Joshua (WK). It worked for Kovalev (Hopkins). It worked for PAC in fact beating Oscar (though he was huge & established still at the time but it further propagated his legacy & standing) so ye sure.. Bring it on. I'd watch. I'd also pick Loma by UD at LW. Heavier it gets the margins narrow a little.. Let's not forget Loma is at a significant size disadvantage, there is huge resume disparities & that many feel Pac beat Horn (I didn't but it was narrow) so he's not totally spent. He's been on a slow & steady downturn since Margarito probably but he's not bottomed out yet IMO.. I'd still pick him over a large percentage of the sports best WWs & LWWs & probably all the LWs in fact.

    I think people underestimate how old and shot Pacquiao is.

    I don't like this fight. Both are my favorite to watch. I'm bound to be sad one way or another.

    Lomachenko to come up from 126 lbs. and fight at 140 or 147 is insane..................he needs to stay at 130, beat the other champions at that weight, then he can move to 135, but 140 and esp. 147 is too much. Still, he has the skills to beat Pac.....................Pac beat the hell out of Horn as everyone knows................hell, even the kangaroo gave the decision to Pac!
