    Pacquiao vs Thurman
    Spence vs Porter
    Garcia vs Garcia

    Now that would be one hell of a way trio of WW fights for 2019.
    Yeah it would be nice to see those fights coming off, I swear Mikey is going down in weight.

      Go down where though? No fight for him at 140 at the current moment and will he really go down to 135? He's not getting Lomachenko anytime soon and if you have heard Bob's comments, he said that fight is no longer 50/50 which you already know is going to be a big no no from the start. I think he sticks around at WW, I really do. He probably knows he can't hang with Spence/Crawford, but sees all the other WWs as beatable. And he matches up VERY well with DSG.

          I mean Thurman fight is still really good all things considered and do you blame him for going the Thurman route over the Spence route.

          And still rusty? Sorry, Thurman got his one tune up fight, now it's go time. Is he going to be rusty forever?

            I would be shocked, shocked if he stays at 147. Regardless of everything that you have mentioned i don't think he would be at 147 for his next fight.

                You will really complain for a PAc-Thurman fight? Seriously? You will complain that a 40 years old way past prime fights a undefeated prime WW?

                You should keep that same energy for your favorite boxers my friend.

                  like I said before.....


                  this is the fight that should be expected. There was no way pacquiao woulda been able to fight spence in a unification since he has the "regular" belt and thurman has the "super" belt.


                  now that they can unify the wba to get a sole champ then we get to see the winner of this fight vs spence.

                      We shall see. I mean I'm sure 140 would be the preferred option, but every big option is locked into the WBSS tournament or one in particular is his stablemate in Ramirez. Just don't see all the options at 140 for Garcia right now.

                      He still wants to be a five division champ and may take on someone like Berto/Alexander next before getting DSG, but I see him sticking at WW.
