What if Manny moved up to fight Cory Spinks for IBF Jr. middleweight title?

    Pac could possible clean out JMW, certainly a lot easier than WW. I think he would beat Forrest. Forrest lost to Mora...sergio Mora, who's worse than Mallignagi. Id favour him over Spinks definitely.

    If Pac don't retire soon, I can see him winning a belt at 154.

    Spinks is still very skilled, but you could see he's lost a step in the Latimore fight.

    I'd pick Pac here also.

    It's remarkable, but not ridiculous since pro boxing has about 2 thousand weightclasses nowadays:roll::nut

    **** mayweather pac, go for legacy and fight Chavez Jr. , Corey Spinks. That would mean you successfully ducked the 135,140,147, and 154's best fighters..

    dont get carried away even monster welterweights such as mosely and margarito failed to make an impact at 154lb when roach was training dela hoya for the mayweather fight he himself said fighting at 147lb is very different from 154lb

    Mosley failed to make an impact at 154? He beat Oscar, knocked out Vargas twice and Mayorga once and gave Winky Wright a hell of a fight.

    Mosley made a huge impact at 154.

    I think he could beat Spinks for the 154lb title. But their are bigger names in the division he is currently at..

    even with all the extra titles and weightclasses it's still a ridiculous feat for a fighter to accomplish

    This is actually an interesting proposition if I were advising the PacMan.

    Legacy-wise it's a lock, but business-wise I don't know if the money would be enough at this point in Pacquiao's career.
