    Do they come up or does he meet them half-way? Algieri was at 144, and he wanted it at 147. I expect a Crawford fight would be at 144.

    lol I knew you believed in Lucas.

      No one cares, Pacquiao isn't a WW, Pacquiao will come in anywhere between 143-145, Matthysse around the same, on fight night they'll weigh about the same again, no height/reach advantage for either guy. No problems. Matthysse is more proven and much more dangerous than the others so quit whining.

        This too, they'll probably have a catchweight of 144 and both will show up 143 with no issues. Matthysse has been talking about chasing Danny upto 147 anyway.

          Manny is way better but I don't think his chin is up for it. Bradley could stop manny in his tracks, manny doesn't want lucas' straight right down the pipe. He'll have jmm flashbacks

            Matthysse would take the fight, probably even at 147. I think he'd retire after the fight though and I don't want to see that.

              Only one I can really see happening is Lucas (if he wins his next fight), which is a very good fight, no knock on that.

                I highly doubt he retires if he wins, unless you're talking about Lucas taking a pay out....

                  Gennady Golovkin at 154 lbs. hahaha nah Manny's best days are behind him and he ought to have the finish line in mind.
