Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Crawford Likely To Happen at 140

[jarodriguez]

Crawford is going to get his ass kicked. Mayweather should have fought these types of fights when he was younger, instead they gave him Genaro Hernandez and Arturo Gatti. I swear, the only good opponents Floyd fought before he fought a washed up De La Hoya were Chop Chop and Castillo. Boy did he learn a lot from those fights. Learning how to duck guys while they were at their best gave him longevity.

143lbs 30 days before Algieri, 143-144lbs(can't remember which) 30 days before Mayweather.

Manny is not a true welterweight. Yup 140 is his real place.

Pac is not winning if this fight is at 140. Its been years since Pac fought at 140. At his age and facing someone like Crawford, I don't see that favoring Pac at all. We shall see.

Yeah but he hasn't fought at that weight in years. I think its a bad idea but if Pac and his team are confident so be it. Its just that if Crawford wins that excuse of Pac being weight drained will be thrown out there.

Anything can happen. Pac ain't prime anymore and it's his last fight, but he can still fight.

He made Floyd run with just one arm, he made Algieri barrel roll, he can still dance. But I know this fight can go either way.

Pac is all about challenges. That's his legacy. A healthy 2 handed pac can still perform. This has the makings of an epic fight.

Win or lose he will go down with a ****. If Pac agrees it means he can do 140 easily.

you guys make too much about a few lbs.

when you're 145-150 cutting 5-10 lbs. is doable.

the guys that struggle with making weight are guys who have to lose 20 lbs. in camp AND then cut weight too.

pac walks around 150. just cut the protein shakes and lower calorie intake during camp and he'll be 140.

the guys who struggle to make 140 are guys who walk around 175, lose 20 lbs during camp then cut 15 lbs for weighin.

hatton was 200 lbs. in between fights. he would lose 40 lbs in training then cut 15-20 for weighin.

pac at WW is smaller than 135 guys.

dierry jean who fights at 135 was 155 lbs on saturday.

pac at WW is around 145-150.

TC walk around weight is 170, Bradley's walk around weight is 165, algierii's walk around weight is 165. Pac's walk around weight is 150.

Pac is smaller than most 140s or 147s.

He is a small dude. But I believe 140 is fine for Pac since 10 lbs of cutting will be easy for a professional like Pac.

i think if anything hes evening up the match,but i dont doubt for one minute he wants BUD to take the W tho.

he said a while back after the may fight that likely pacs next will be at either a 144lb CW or back to 140 cause pac dont want to make weight no more

plus it will be nice for BUD who doesnt have to move up like prior pac opponents
