Anybody else think Pac should go down to 140? He’ll easily clean the division

    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?
    You mean last year? Loma made his 135 debut last year against Linares. Manny was 39? Pretty close to 40, bro. Oh I doubt it. Sure, the name looks good but it would be a field day for his haters.

    I don't think it does anything for Spence. He can't possibly impress by beating a 40-year-old Pac. Even an early KO. And he's just coming off little Mikey. They have to put the young guns in with each other at this point.

      Linares dropped Loma, so moving up to 140 after that to fight Manny Pacquiao would've been a risk since Loma's not a big Lightweight. It doesn't matter anymore, Loma's got an uphill battle to get PPV fights since the Mikey fight isn't happening.

        This is true. If Loma unifies lightweight this year, that's great but he'll need a big name after that. Not sure who it's gonna be. May have to go to 140 or have somebody come up from 130. Hard to say...

            A win against the weakest champion at 140 for a legitimate Alphabet title would be another historic feat...

              If Loma unifies Lightweight, maybe by that time, Gervonta Davis will finally have moved up and the two of them can have a fight on PPV.

              Crawford makes more sense for Manny than Spence. Crawford hasn't been at Welterweight that long and is on his 3rd weight class, while Spence cuts a lot of weight and will end his career at 160 or maybe even 168.

                    Who are the champions at 140 for PBC? Because unless he has clause in his contract that he is allowed to fight anyone that isn’t from the PBC stable I wouldn’t want him going down to 140, Mikey Garcia might be going to 140 but he has no belt there.
