    Why specifically pacquiao? It shows how hard it is for any fighter going up in weight to win titles

    Yes. Same with Mayweather and Marquez, not just Pacquiao.

    No because Pacquiao was like 15 and malnourished when he was a straw weight and got bigger over time. Nonito was a full grown healthy man when he turned pro

    What Pacquiao is doing is equivalent to as if Mayweather was knocking out heavyweights himself said Mayweather.

    Not to sound like a hater but when Pac moved up most of his big wins came vs guys who just took massive ass whoppings, Donaire is fighting prime unbeaten fighters. Walters coming off the John win was a tougher opponent then Morales who was in the middle of a 1-6 slump. Still its hard more credit should be given to Donaire half these guys are scared to move up one division.

    pac's physical conditioning and fight mentality are just better than a lot of fighters. some are just hard workers and more disciplined than others. going up in weight and longevity are really good tests for atg's

    Yes we know Pac was a fly weight at 16 I doubt your going to weigh the same when your 30 anyway you listed 9 names and 6 of them were beaten down and broken fighters. Its not hard to break a guy after they've been beaten down badly why do you think Manny took a year off after Jmm IV because its a major effect on you. The guys Pac's fought didn't have that luxury
