    Had a look through his record and he has had a fight in every division below jr middleweight, except for minimumweight.

    So he's fought through 11 divisions. Won titles in 8. Destroyed top guys all the way up.

    Titles are getting easier to get, but the size factor will always be there to stop fighters moving up beyond their comfort limits. It's safe to say it won't happen again. Manny is old school as it is. You just don't get fighters of that ilk these days to think they'd even be willing to take such risks.

    With the amount of weight classes, and the amount of belts around, and the ability to carefully script a fighters way through divisions nowadays (if needed)...we will most likely see someone/more people doing the same.

    As impressively as Pacquiao though? That's another question.

    Says the clown who picked all those guys to murder Pac in the dozens of bumped threads from before he fought DLH. Sure. Everything you have to say about Pac is doused with hate.

    Yes, it will happen again. PEDs have a way of rewriting ALL sports records. Take baseball. The homerun record lastest for what 30 years then all of the sudden there wasn't a season when it wasn't broken. This has happened in ALL sports.

    LOL, how dare any of us be suspicious of a once 112 lbs champion fight for the 154 lbs title!:lol::lol::lol:


    Pacquiao has conquered 8 divisions but it could be 9.......he bypassed bantamweight or he could very well be a 9 division champ.:nut


    No proof, no proof........

    Titles in all these divisions throw up a serious red flag, but then we have this to boot.........

    ......and the ******* still believes there's absolutely no proof or reason to be suspicious.:rofl:rofl:rofl:nut:nut:nut

    I just hate how overrated he is, he is very good no doubt but not what he is made out to be, he was very fortunate in his career so far, most of his big wins came at great times for him and bad times for the opponent for various reasons(Barrera,Morales,ODLH,Hatton,Cotto,Margo), he also got gifts against JMM who kind of exposed him.

    Mayweather better fight him soon before he ends up going past his prime and giving Pac a slim chance (he has none otherwise)

    you meant the catch weight 150lbs vs a cheating boxer that wasn't even ranked? Because that belt at the time belonged to Martinez, and I'm very sure if they had offered the fight to him, he would had accepted.

    Why doesn't he hired a translator? It is a lot ramblings and nerviness when he talks, is because he doesn't speak the language that well, or because he is hiding something, in any case he should have a translator.

    A guilty PEDs user would stay the hell away from the topic. Unlike...

    yes because there are too many Damn weight classes and too many BS titles, now what Pac has done is special no doubt, but the Margo fight being contested for a title was a disgrace.

    Garfios, Pacquiao understands and speaks the english language well enough that he does not need a translator.
    Pacquiao's english has evolved from the days when he first beat MAB and could be barely understood.

    Pacquiao speaks and understands english very well here about a year ago.....
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZr6MZDBPZI&feature=player_embedded[/ame]
    nothing here indicates he's having trouble understanding or speaking the language.
    The one thing sticking out is that he seems nervous as he's being asked about PED's.



    Look at how calm and relaxed Pacquiao is here just a few week ago, understanding and speaking english........
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16hNUWSX9cQ&feature=player_embedded[/ame]

    He understands it and speaks it great, and seem much more relaxed knowing the questions regarding PED's are not being thrown at him.


    Pacquiao does not use a translator because he does'nt need one.:deal
