    Okay, people say Pac beat a corpse in De La Hoya... so which current lightweight can go up to welterweight, school a post-KO'd, faded, old, half-shot Pac and make him quit?

    :think

    Certainly proved himself to be a fully-fledged welter champion with stand-out unanimous decisions vs Aydın and Berto :lol:

    Lomachenko and Mikey Garcia have the build to pull it off.
    Loma fought a WW in Salido, and Mikey was a WW when beat down Juanma.
    That's more than 2 divisions though.

    Pacquiao? None of them obviously.

    I'd give Vazquez and Crawford a chance to beat IBF's Shawn Porter or interim champ Thurman but neither beat Pacquiao or Mayweather, or Kell Brook when he wins the belt.

    Crawford would whoop Pac's ass IMO

    Not seeing any current LW that could last 12 rounds.

    This is gonna sound crazy but I think Vazquez is the only current Lightweight that could jump 2 weight classes and be effective. He has the right frame to bulk up easily and the right style to get the job done against a small guy like Manny.

    What an idiot. Will Pac drain himself like DLH did? We already know how that turns out. KTFO by the smaller Torrecampo. FACT!

    :think:rofl

    Nah you didn't get it pookie. Pac should go down to LWW, weight in at 138 for some obscure reason and be drained like ****. Then MIkey Garcia can rise from JLW and KO his azz. Pac win against ODH is still great and upset for the ages but Oscar was not at his best that night. Which is not Pac problem obviously.

    Oscar hadn't fought at WW in 7+ years when he fought Pac at that weight, so the comparison isn't that great at all...

    Excuses for what?

    Think I'm trying to somehow "discredit" a win from your favorite fighter or something? I said nothing like it...

    It's one of the best examples in history of a fighter fighting at a lower weight division that he had moved up from long ago, is all...

    That "guy that held a belt at 160" also held a belt at 130. People tend to forget that Oscar is one of the ATG weight jumpers himself. It was a nice historically relevant fight as it was one ATG weight jumper during his rise against one ATG weight jumper in his last fight...
