    I was going to say, if PW won the MW titles, Pac going up to 160 to fight him would be hilariously epic.

    But if Williams wins them at 157, then I don't consider him a legit MW champ.

      Depends, if Margarito fight goes bad for him and he dont look to good win or lose then fine, if not then whatever, it depends on whether Williams finds it easy to make 147 like he says, it could just be money talking... but if Paul claims he can then I cant blame Manny I guess.

          Personally, I would like to see pac fight berto or bradley.
          Pacquiao fans should be booted from this site except for a few good ones. I aint gonna mention names.

            Here's his promoter's opinion. Take note that he's not under oath.

              I knew you'd react the way you're reacting right now.

                  Bob Arum- "It would not make for a great fight"

                  Translation- He will beat Pac cuz he is just too damn big. The size difference would be too much.

                  Seriously how can a fight when 2 fighters are capable of thowring over a 100 punches a round, and are very offerensive minded not make for a great fight?

                  That sounds to me that he is not confident that Pac can beat P-Will. Because, with their styles is a cant miss type of fight. So I disagree, with would be a great fight no matter who wins it will be damn entertaining.

                    147? I'm thinking he'll ask for 143 since Williams already agreed to 147.

                    Anyway, if Williams wins the MW title at a catchweight and Pac wins a vacant paper belt at a catchweight then the reasonable option is something in between. 152-154 should work.

                      Sure, Williams has miles of reach and height over Pacquiao.

                      But, that doesn't mean Williams will have an easy time landing on Pac.

                      I can see Pac still resorting to an outboxing gameplan similar to the De La Hoya fight. Williams would have to reach down to hit Pac, leaving himself open for straight left and right hook counters.

                      This fight would be a WAR. I see Pac winning a close but clear decision. A stoppage? I'm not so sure.

                      We saw Quintana's footwork put question marks into Williams' head.

                      Pacquiao >>> Quintana in every aspect.
