Comments Thread For: Bradley: I Don't Think Lomachenko Will Go To 140 For Pacquiao

Why is it ok for manny to runaway from the division he has been fighting for years now that it's hot??? I wanted to see old lion vs young lion in Crawford vs Pacquiao... Try to get his title back.

because he's paid his dues.

the young lions need to fight each other to see who's the top dog between those guys. manny is a different era. most guys in his era retired already.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I may have been thinking the Cotto fight

even in the cotto fight pac was 144, cotto 145. on fight night cotto was way heavier.

A lot of us wanted to see this fight but got fed the Horn/Manny garbage instead.

So the era of the old lion vs young lion is over??? The handoff of the torch? This has allways happen ever since I can remember. He needs to retire if he's not going to fight the best.

Damn, I’ll have to look into it, I could swear there was a catch weight where Manny showed up outweighing his opponent (after being the one to demand the catch weight)

After almost getting ko'd Loma should keep his overrated ass where he is.

youre thinking of Oscar vs Manny. It was at 147 wasn't a catch weight Oscar just had to come down 1 division from 154 and Pac had to come up 2 divisions from 130. Oscar nearly killed himself making weight spent time in the hospital the night before the fight. on fight night pac weighed 148.5 Oscar weighed 147. Oscar is the one who wanted the fight and when Pac was giving him a world class shellacking, Larry Merchant famously said, "this is what he asked for" lol

there was no "handoff" of the torch. this is just something fans made up lol. let the young lions battle it out to see who's the top dog.

might be pac vs oscar but that wasnt a cw. pac showed up at 148.5, oscar 147 on fight night. but that's not pac's fault oscar didnt rehydrate properly.

Manny said no, but I wouldn't rule out a Thurman fight if it's off an injury
