No one asked what he did or didn’t do. Question was could he have done it. Answer is yes. Someone like you shouldn’t knock on how he got his jnr MW title anyway. Throwing rocks while siting in a glass house and ****.
I think 160 would be flirting with disaster, not that he couldn't have won a title. But I dont think his power would be the same and guys would be less deterred by his shots. Just my opinion though.
Of course. He fought Margarito at a catchweight, why not fight a middleweight at a catchweight? Anything is possible these days with catch* rules and the right amount of fees to the alphabet organizations.
He said it himself that junior middleweight is not his weight. WBC did ask him whether he plan to defend it in the future and Pacquiao gave them straight and direct answer "No, give it to them."
Neither of them could have beaten MW champ Martinez, the version that undid Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams. In fact both would have very difficult times against Paul Williams at either 154 or 160. The Martinez that fell to Cottonmouths was shot and kneeless. Prime healthy Martinez destroys Cotto.
