I forgot about Crawford, hmmmm.....
That could be a scenario, Crawford has the makings of a star and the kid can box like nobody's business. This could be a changing of the guard so to speak.

if crawford gets some experience, i would not complain about that fight. i would give pacquiao credit for that fight.

Arum and co realize it's almost over for Pacquiao and are trying to artificailly extend Pacquiao's career. All of the talent @ 140 is moving up or about to retire and there are a few 135lb'ers under the Top Rank banner who could move up for a Pacquiao fight. Terrance Crawford, Mikey Garcia fights on the horizon?

So at 147 he fights 140 guys and at 140 hell fight 135 guys?

Now he's moved on to non-ripe cherries

this is what roach always wanted to do......that or catchweight fights.

its likely manny posturing to see if he can get more money for the fight. there is no reason for him to go to 140 other than not wanting to fight Floyd.

Floyd's threatening to fire anyone who mentions PAC and you want us to believe that moving down to 140 will hold up the fight?

The only logical reason for the move down to 140 is because there is more available talent for pac to fight. I'm sure TR would love to put him in with Garcia, Thurman, Maidana, and of course Floyd but haymon as we recently found out has the welterweight class in hostage.

What's really sad about this whole situation is, even at the end, Arum is STILL intent on denying us the Mayweather fight. Boxing will be better off the day that fat POS drops dead...

Making guys move up has been his MO for some years now. Why change what works?

[HandsofIron]

Makes sense, Manny has never made the welterweight limit, he always came in at 144 or 145, it's not his weight class. Good fights @ 140: Manny vs Danny, Lucas, Broner, Ruslan, and Mikey or Crawford if they move up.

Did Arum really say that about Oscar...that's about the meanest thing I have ever read one person say about another.
