    I don't know why people see this as far fetched as they do.

    Pacquiao, even at the faded state he is in, could make easy work or Canelo.
    Canelo is very limited. If a hydration clause was in place or 15-20lb heavier, I would still favour Pacquiao...

    That is how limited I believe Canelo is.
    The fact that Khan stole 4 easy rounds off him, it tells you all you need to know.

    Reckon Pac would lose anyway, but I wouldn't hate to see this fight at 152/153

    Exactly, Pacquiao could win this and bring further shame to the Pollo Rojo legacy.

    He's not coming leaving the Senate to fight trip G, especially since they are friends.

    Wouldn't mind seeing it but the catchweight would be very tricky. Pac would probably want 150 and I doubt Canelo can make that.

    @155 lbs sounds fair

    So which one is the B side? Which one is daring to be great at 155?

    Pacquiao would lose, Amir Khan is a big guy for his weighclass, Pacquiao's a small dude, size difference will be absolutely massive.

    Canelo said 152 was a mistake and he's never going to compromise on weight after that, so there's no chance of 150.
