Be honest with yourselves. Is it normal for a 112lb fighter win a title at 154lbs?

    I'm not bashing Pacquiao, but really, he plans on fighting Magarito at 154lbs for a vacant title. Can a fighter that started out at 112lbs go all the way up and win fights 8 divisions up and carry his speed and power up to 154lbs so easily without taking any substances?!

    He's grown into his body, thats all. And if you compare his bouts with De la Hoya and Hatton, to his bouts with Cotto and Clottey...he hasn't taken all his speed with him. He's just still faster than the majority up at Welter.

    It's not normal and that's what makes Pacquiao great. You also have to realize he started fighting when he was 16. Don't know about you, but I'm significantly bigger now at 27 than I was at 16. So yeah I can believe he did it without any illegal help.

    When pac started his pro career at 16 he weighed 106 lbs. Highest title he has won was WW at a 145 catch weight.

    When floyd was 16 he won a golden gloves championship at 106 lbs. He has beaten a top 154 champion.

    Yes you can and I respect everyone's opinion. I just hope mine is respected as well. For the record, I don't crucify anybody for their honest opinions.

    It would be nice if he could win titles by, you know, fighting the best figher in the division.

    If Pacquiao isnt on PEDs, he's probably the greatest ever.
