More believable than you think. They're exactly the same height and fight night weight within a few lbs. Davis just went to 135 just like Pacquiao before DLH. Davis already has to struggle to make weight. PBC desperately want to make a star and has him fighting old big names to get there. They probably think Pacquiao is too past it and there for the taking. They know beating Pacquiao would take Davis out the stratosphere.

This is a silly thread.

How? Davis is a PBC fighter. So is Many. Davis is not going to face Lomachenko or Haney because they're high risk. He obviously doesn't like making weight and will probably follow Broner's example of going up. Manny is 41. They're exactly the same size. They might think he's for the taking.

Thought there would've been a chance of Pac v Mikey Garcia this year.

This is an easy win for Davis. What's the point in this fight?

Far from an easy fight for Tank. I'd watch it.

If you think this is good fight why not ask for Thurman-Davis. I don't understand why Pacquaio is worth a fight and Thurman how about asking about Thurman-Davis. Same size means nothing.

Think the OP is thinking more in terms of exposure than just any 147lbs fighter.

If Davis was thrown in with Manny it would do big numbers, big exposure for Davis and if he won (which I think he would be favourite to do so) would propel him somewhat in the business.

I get it I still don't understand do we want to make stars who still have questions or legit elite fighters who earned it.

Davis is already the hottest star in boxing

Collected more belts than real opponents. 3 weight champ only one real fight. Though I do thinks he's a talent.

Ahh got you. Could be a case of perfect timing though if this fight could ever get made and agreed. Would Manny want any piece of it?

Seems that Davis really splits opinion. He's demolishing his way through opposition and divisions, yet people also suggest he's carefully managed and avoiding fights.

I don't think it's all that ridiculous if he was afforded a shot at a big name in the next 6-12 months.

It's like asking, why not put Pacquiao in with Kermit Cintron when he first considered moving up to fight DLH.

I think Wilder is a bigger star by far than Davis.

I think it is to get a Pacquaio fight when his best win Jose Pedraza and people trying to sell him a division champ. He should get a big fight I do think that though.

Who did Jessie Vargas beat to get a Pacquiao shot? Adrien Broner? Jeff Horn?

Davis would probably be too spry at this point for Pac, but I think Pac could give him a lot of hell. Davis still has enough get up and go, and pride in his being undefeated for the time that I think he'd put in just enough to get a close decision.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Pac beat him though.

Bob Arum picked those guys. Al Haymon could pick Davis to make him a star.

That's what everyone said in 2007 when DLH Pacquiao was a possibility.

Okay, this thread just went from silly to pure dumbass. You're saying that Manny Pacquiao is less risky for a lightweight than Devin Haney? This is just completely dumb.
