    Anybody else think Pac should go down to 140? He値l easily clean the division

    It was reported before that Pac is not cutting weight so his natural weight is around the WW limit. Imhabe no doubt he can clean the LWW division easily. If oac can miraculously go down to 135 he KO痴 Loma that痴 for sure.

    Good idea.

    I don't think Pacquiao should tangle with Errol Spence or Terence Crawford.

      That would be interesting. He could pick up another belt or two and beat a few more champs before calling it a day.

      But beating Loma?



      Don't see that happening. Thurman ain't even close to Loma.

        The fight between Pac and Loma never happened because Loma wanted to fight Pac at 135 and Pac wanted to fight Loma at 140.

        At 135 Loma wins, at 140 Pacquiao wins. I'm surprised Loma didn't take the risk though.

          He should fight Spence, go for that fighter of the decade award again.

            Manny Pacquiao has had a remarkable career, no better time to ride off into the sunset than after a remarkable win.

              If I'm a young guy making my name, I don't fight any 40-year-old. It's just bad all the way around. You can't win unless you obliterate him and even then, you may get criticized. I think Loma's just too fast for him at any weight but I don't blame him for passing. Hell, Thurman will have a hard time bouncing back just because people can always say he lost to a 40-year-old when he was thirty.

                Or destroy Khan and then ride off into the sunset.

                  Cutting that extra 7 pounds may be tough at his age, but cutting that weight and fighting the champs at 140 would be much better for his health than staying at 147 to fight Spence or Crawford.

                  In fact, Manny and Mikey should both get together and make the following business plan:

                  1.) Go down to 140

                  2.) Pick up 2 belts a piece

                  3.) Have a unification fight on PPV to decide who's undisputed at 140.

                  4.) The winner calls out Lomachenko to move up to 140 for another big PPV

                    Pac was still in his 30s when that fight was on the table, and Loma had just started out at 135 and had never fought at 140. I think a win over Manny would've still been impressive.

                    It's the PBC guys who've it bad all the way around. Manny has been through too much to be in with these young Welterweights. Thurman can never live this loss down. Spence wants to fight Canelo one day at 160, so what would Spence knocking out Pacquiao at 147 mean?
