Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Rejecting Pacquiao: He's Old, I Think He's Done

[Roadblock]

Loma is the man.
He is right in saying if he beat Manny what would it achieve for him besides a decent pay cheque.
Maybe if Pacman does ok against Broner Loma might change his mind about him.

Everyone else it would be called a duck.

Lomachenko just straight up disrespected Pacquiao, he said he wanted to carve his own path, that’s bogus.

The guy straight up ducked Pacquiao because the risk wasn’t worth the reward.

They know how good pacquiao is and they weren’t confident they’d be able to dominate pacquiao and there was a good chance they’d lose. If they didn’t lose,they would’ve looked bad winning.

Pacquiao would touch Lomachenko up and everyone knows how dangerous pacquiao is. Especially at the lower weights where they may have met at a catch weight.

So the main reasons lomachenko didn’t fight pacquiao was first he could get KO’d or lose and everyone would say he’s a hypejob, second he could beat pacquiao but he knows it wouldn’t be easy and everyone would say he struggles with an old pacquiao and his stock further drops.

Lomachenko thinks he can trick the public by saying he didn’t want to dominate an old pacquiao and disrespect him, what a lie your whole persona is based off you dominating and clowning people. Be real and admit that you knew pacquaio would put up a helluva fight and make you look bad.

I can't speak with confidence until I have seen PacMan vs Broner.

But my su****ion - as a Pacquiao admirer since the beginnings - is that Lomachenko would be too quick for PacMan at this stage.

Not unlike De La Hoya vs Pacquiao, in a way. Perhaps less humiliating, but that would be the substance of the fight.

We must accept that Pacman is not the same of a few years ago. Not anymore.

More than 800 amateur fights, huh? I think this scribe probably wants to do a little research.

Just like people gave lomachenko no credit when he retired rigondeaux in a 50/50 fight they won't give him any credit for beating pac.

Old Pacquiao is skill wise miles better than any of Loma's young prime opponents (especially Salido), including Pedraza. Why not admit he's not willing to fight at 140, people will understand, instead of making excuses.

Except pacman is expected to beat him and all the pressure is on loma so yeah i don't buy what loma said

You're probably right i don't think this will be like dela hoya vs pac. Pac tear through the competition and weights all the way to hoya. Loma got his first fight in 135 and for the second time he was made to work for his win. Yes pac ain't what he used to be but i think we can both agree that pac even at this stage is still someone to be reckoned with and legitimate danger to anyone climbing up in weight.

If this is true, then no problem. If Loma's really looking to fight a prime, somewhat smallish welter, I've no doubt Crawford would oblige, and they have the same promoter.

Crawford vs Loma. Make it happen!
