    Now you're reaching.


    A 20 year old, to a 16 year old in the Filipino flyweight circuit, I'd say theres not much diversity.

    Not much experience, probably most started training late.

    I don't think so. You're the one reaching here. A 20 year old will be naturally bigger and more developed than someone at 16. You assume Pac at 16 easily made weight compared to the people he fought.

    You're talking in circles man. Whether they were great or not is not the point. They had an advantage Pac needed to overcome to win.

    Pac was far from a disadvantage.

    So being smaller is not a disadvantage in boxing... news to me...

    Edit:
    For laughs I found an old video:

    Man Pac looks like a starving kid in this video compared to his opponent. :D

    It's not about the testing. Void is afraid of Pac, it's that simple. Void, Sr. said that he never wants Void, Jr. to fight Pac. He said that right after Pac stopped Cotto.

    Joe Frazier to present award to Pac as fighter of the year. Frazier agrees! Void is void.

    So you're admitting that Pac used his skills to overcome someone who had an advantage over him.... what are we disagreeing about here? :huh

    Being bigger is one thing using it to an advantage is another.

    All Im saying is, Pac was so much better than those guys,that him being 16, and beating them, wasn't that special. Just like more fighters up and coming it's the same.

    Just cause he was 16 doesn't mean much. He was that much better than them.
