    Manny should focus his attention on the likes of Spence and Crawford, champs in his own division instead of shot MWs who would send him into the shadow realm with a glancing jab. Even though Manny is a senior citizen and would be giving away at least 10-12lbs to both Spence and Crawford, I see those as both winnable fights for him because the former has only fought two world class fighters his own size and he struggled badly against both even though one of them was damaged goods and the other has been dining exclusively on C level opposition his whole career and his best win is a chinny Cuban leprechaun in what was grotesque size mismatch.

    I thought it was ridiculous when people would criticise Mayweather for night fighting a MW.

    Weight classes exist for a reason and smaller guys shouldn't be expected to jump that high.

    It's less ridiculous than a middleweight trying to get a 5'5 naturally 9 stone guy to fight him at 160.

    If I was Pac I'd do it at catchweight with a re-hydration clause

    There`s no way he could have beaten GGG in his prime either though.

    Sure, why not make Lomachenko vs Canelo too whilst we're at it... Weight classes exist for a reason.

    Freddy Roach mentioned it only. GGG never mentioned anything. It was just Roach name dropping, but the haters crucify him for something he wasn't even involved in. Very predictable.
