Well if it's for legacy, that rules out McGregor and Ryan Garcia. Pac is too big for MIkey as his fight with Spence showed. The only viable option for "legacy" would be Crawford or Spence.
DLH had not fought at 147 for 7 years so it was worse than a catchweight. DLH couldn't even rehydrate weighing less than Pacquiao on fight night.
That is besides the point. Who did Mikey beat? One can gloat all about him being a 4 division champ, but who did the man actually beat?
He has victories over Rocky Martinez Juan ma Lopez Orlando Siri Salido Zlaticanin (was a $icc KO) these are the best scalps that I can remember.
I really wish Pacquiao-Lopez would happen. Lopez just beat Lomachenko. Pacquiao KOs Lopez. With ease.
And as you can see, there isn´t a lot there. (not that his resume is terrible). So stop with the "he is a 4 division champ" while his resume is clearly lacking. It´s like gloating about Wilder´s 10 fight title run.
That could be the legacy fight then. Drop down to lightweight and become unified for the first time if possible.
ODLH wasn't a catchweight dumbass. A catchweight is a weight in between official weights. ODLH scheduled a rematch with Floyd at 147. Floyd backed out. ODLH dragged Pac's skinny ass from LW (who only had 1 fight there) to 147. That's not a catchweight. That's like Usky dropping back down to CW and then dragging Canelo's ass up to CW for a fight.
Yes, why was ODLH at 147? ODLH scheduled a rematch with Floyd at 147. Floyd backed out and ODLH dragged Pac's ass up to 147 from LW when prior to that, Pac wasn't even on his radar. People re-writing history, Pac was the one at a HUGE disadvantage going into that fight. I repeat, the viewpoint going into that fight was ODLH was still elite as he took Floyd to a split decision the fight before, a megafight rematch was scheduled with Floyd at 147 until Floyd decided he didn't want to make all that money, obviously saw enough of a risk in Oscar given their last fight. Oscar was going to kill Pac. Pac beats the odds. That's what he does, all his life, and that's why he's legendary. He didn't have 50 fights in his backyard in General Santos City with drug agencies and Refs holding his hand. So how is that a "CW". Also 7 years BS. Pac could drop to 140 and it wouldn't affect him 1 bit. Fighters belong where they belong, ODLH was always a small 154-160, he was a natural 147. That's why he was working down to 147, his previous fight was 150 with Forbes.
