Boxing promoter Bob Arum discouraged Manny Pacquiao from thinking about stepping in the same ring with 2-time middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
Trainer Freddie Roach piqued fans' interest by saying that Pacquiao could consider climbing the middleweight ranks for a ninth world title, an idea Arum wasn't a fan of.
"I know Golovkin appears to be over the hill, but it’s a fight that could be very dangerous for Pacquiao," the promoter said in an article posted on Daily Mail. Arum said that Pacquiao is a small welterweight "pretty much outsized by all the good welterweights." "He isn't even a welterweight really, let alone a middleweight. His best fighting weight is 140," Arum said."I know he fought Keith Thurman, who had lost his desire to fight and had been out so long, but he would have a real test against Terence Crawford or Errol Spence, guys like that," said Arum.Pacquiao is currently in advanced talks to fight pound-for-pound star and WBO welterweight titlist Crawford possibly in the Middle East late this year.
