Right now this is a ****** fight. Russell has done absolutely nothing above 126 and there is zero reason he should get a shot at welterweight champ Crawford plus catchweights are ******. Crawford would look real bad giving Russell a title shot. If Russell beats a legit top 10 welterweight then give him a Crawford fight but he has no win above 126. This fight really shouldn't even be up for discussion. It's that ******.

Pac went from 135-147 not 145. Circumstances of Pacs ascension were very different from Armstrong...Russell Jr trying to be Henry Armstrong and I'm all for it if that is what he wants
It is crazy because Henry Armstrong at the same height and weight as Gary Russell ironically enough went from Featherweight to as high as Middleweight winning Championships in each of those Divisions. Then of course you have another more current Legend in Pacquiao who Jumped from 135 to 145 for the Oscar Fight
It is not happening, Arum already shot the Idea down so moving on!
Pac fought over the hill champs at catchweights, rehydration clauses, coming off losses, and he did it all while refusing drug testing. A rather large asteriskComment
