    Yeah, it's ludicrous, but I bet you any money many people would buy in to it. The weight differential is too much, though.

    Would you give the Manny of 2008-2010 any hope of actually beating Triple G?

    No verson of Pacquiao beats Golovkin. I don't think Arum is serious anyway.

    If Bob Arum said it, then it must be true...

    I thought Pac was retired.

    Anyway, the Pac of 2010 may well have outpointed GGG, if GGG was forced to make 154lbs. I'd pick GGG but Pac was sooooo fast and soooooo busy and soooooo unpredictable that you never know with that guy.

    Golov would wipe his ass with any version of Pac.

    At 160lbs, no doubt. At 154lbs though GGG may be weakened sufficiently to give Pac a chance.

    If GGG was forced to come down to 151.5 lbs then I'd pick Pacquiao. I think he could make 154 without killing himself

    Pacquiao would take on GGG and then the winner of Kovalev-Ward. Floyd will come out retirement to face Choclatito and win 12 round decision where he runs away half the time.

    Floyd's MORE Likely to Face GGG than Pacquiao, and there's a 0% Chance in Floyd's Case...

    Floyd is too old now to face GGG. He'd get KO'd

    Arum now putting Pac's and Loma's names together. Pac's team say he easily makes 135/140. I'd love to see Pac-Loma.

    Like Who???...What Black Fighters (or Fighters of ANY Race) Has Haymon Consistently FROZEN OUT of the Big Fight Mix, the Way Arum has Done w/Floyd, Rigondeaux and Now Crawford???...

    If Haymon's Guilty of Anything, it's BABYSITTING his Fighters, Allowing Them to Collect Millions for Fighting No Hopers...But When His Guys WANT a Big Fight, Haymon Usually GETS that Big Fight for Them...

    First of All, Haymon Has Like OVER 200 Fighters @ his Disposal, if Not More...2nd, In Terms of ELITE Fighters, Who Has Haymon Flat Out NEGLECTED the Way Arum Did Floyd, Rigondeaux and Crawford (In Terms of Giving him ZERO Consideration as a Pacquiao Opponent)???...

    There's NO Comparison...

    Rumor has it that Crawford is fighting Felix Diaz next.

    Diaz is no joke. If Crawford wins in style it'll be highly impressive.

    his business model seems to have failed. if you look at the trends. i agree with you about arum but lets not pretend haymon has done anything better to build these guys up as fighters into attractions. most of the time the venues his fights are at are either A) empty or B) half filled full of comps.

    i posted this a couple weeks ago but this is how active his stable had been this year

    Crawford wants the WBA belt then to move up to 147.

    Well, he did just dominate the second best guy in his division. I guess he's entitled to a walk over in Molina.

    Which thread did you post this in? It's good stuff. I don't see any racial bias at all going on, just unfortunate minimal use of some excellent fighters.

    Nobody wants the WBA belt. The WBA is a shit organization. They do okay giving South American and Japanese boxers shots at titles, but they pretty much suck.
