In What weightclass do you rank Pacman highest ATG?

hard to say because he has done big things at so many so his achievements have been fairly well spread out. but when i think of pac i think 140 pac had the aura of invincibility

 

he only fought once ar 140.

i say 122 was his most dominant weight...all by ko.

 

the pac that fought dela hoya cotto was basically 140 stuffed up, is the same guy that fought hatton.

so id say around 140+/- few lbs (dela hoya, hatton, cotto) was his most dominant.

he was never settled at 147 until/after the clottey fight.

weight class doesnt define pac.

 

What was his natural weight class? At what age was he considered fully grown? He went from Flyweight to Super Bantam in the space of 3 months, there's got be an element of 'still growing' for that to happen. Looking at him now I would say his best weight would be 135 as supposedly he was rehydrating over 10lbs at 130lbs but had he already begun working with Ariza to get bigger at that point?
With the way weigh-ins and alphabet titles work these days no-one really makes a single weight class their own anymore so I'd answer it by saying what I think is his most effective weight class as an adult which is probably either 130 or 135.

 

And yeah he's legacy is doing what no-one has done before as far as weight classes go, so the question is kind of irrelevant. I do think an interesting topic is what's Pac's natural weight class though.

 

pacquaio fighting at 147 is same as mayweather fighting at middleweight everytime thats how huge it is

 

it is safe to say he is not going back to 140 at this point.

there is not enough challenge in there that will make people pay.

he has done so much that fighting in his natural weight wont be a challenge anymore.

eating 5x a day to campaign in his 7th div is already a challenge in itself no matter the opponent.

the norm was fighters kill themselves to get a weight advantage on fight night.

pac changed boxing forever.

 

I always thought that Pac could have been the greatest @ 140. It's his ideal weight, IMO.

 

pac that beat dela hoya, hatton,cooto was basically the same pac.

pac casn easily make 140 for those fights but needs to stuff up for a better punch resistance on 2 of those.

 

If you judge it objectively as opposed to just imagining how good he would have been had he settled in at a weight class then you'd have to say super bantamweight. Which I can admit that I don't know a great deal about the atg's of this class. Otherwise I'd say welter but he doesn't even crack the top 20.
