    Could Prime Pac have moved up to beat Canelo or Golovkin?

    Could prime Manny have moved up to say 160 and utilized his speed to beat Canelo or Golovkin?

    Nah they too big. I'd give him a good chance to beat carnela that froid fought. It'd look like pac vs Margarito.

      canelo was pac's mandatory. he vacated and never fought above welterweight again. that's all you need to know. he knew that's his ceiling.

              well ggg was always about 170 fight night in the ring im trying to picture what 145 pound pac trying to fight and beat him might look like, i dont think it would be pretty for pac at all & same goes for 160 canelo who almost certainly was above 170 in the ring, actually canelo was listed as early 170's on hbo at the end of his time at 154 so pac would have a very hard time with 154 canelo too as well just because floyds style matched up well i dont think pac would do very well at all actually with those disadvantage

                    that would be even easier. a slower canelo.
