    Why is there more pressure on the legend Pac to move down one weight class than...

    there was for GGG to move up one weight class to fight Ward? Pac is a true hall of famer and ATG but he's being pressured to drop to 140 to fight Crawford. It's a lot harder to drop down in weight than it is to go up in weight. People are even starting to say Pac is ducking Crawford. I thought you couldn't duck someone in a different weight class?!?!?!?

    Because Pac bodybagged so many elite fighters that fans want him to take out more world class guys. GGG on the other hand will be exposed by the first world class superstar he faces.

      No,i wouldnt say presseur,Pac should retire and nobody would have problem with it,Truth is that Pac is not even doing 147,his fighting bigger guys,if he would go to 140 he would be better imo,no matter who he would fight.

      to make it clear any presseur on Pacman to fight somebody now ,can come only from ******s ,he did more then enough.

        Well there's different angles to this. First of all, Top Rank has pushed media interest with their interests. Arum has repeatedly connected Crawford's name with Pacquiao and since then, anytime any major news outlet speaks about Crawford it's as a Pacquiao opponent. He wasn't exactly a household name before then. But I do find it funny that guys like Kellerman and Smith and the people over at HBO wanna push Crawford on Pac more than they ever did Ward onto Golovkin....it's clearly a matter of interest. I think HBO and most media people prefer Canelo-Golovkin and I don't even disagree with it, considering Ward can't make 168.

          There is zero pressure for PAC to move down. If Crawford really wants the fight he'd go to 144 or even 147 for PAC I'm sure. PAC is a fking legend, he does what he wants, he's not giving any concessions to Crawford unless he really doesn't mind doing it.

            Because GGG is clearly on his way to break Bernard Hopkins Middleweight defense record and this pains the soul of certain people.

              Who? I know of, maybe, 2 real Hopkins fans on the whole forum. No one gives a shyt if GGG breaks Hopkins record, let alone suffering "soul pain"... Lol

                After the Olympics there were a group who tried the America for American Boxers only angle. One example. Those Agenda driven losers. Not real Boxing fans.
