    He never had a long tenure in any weight class. He just kept jumping up to fight bigger and bigger and bigger men.

    He left his best weight class (126 pounds) after just 3 fights because he wanted Morales so badly because he just gave no ****s. He was such a badass who feared nobody. Would fight anyone, no matter what, no quitting or denying.

    He was better at 126 and 130 than he was at 122. But the 122 pound division is weaker all time, especially 126. Featherweight is arguably the most stacked and deepest weight class of all time.

    perhaps not at any weight he fought in. his greatest achievement is defeating good opposition while climbing multiple divisions and going beyond his weight limits fighting as a warrior like the true atg's.

    Not a single answer, i would think i could find half those weights he'd be top 10 h2h. That's taking in that he never fought the top guy in any division. How is that fact not crystal clear

    Sasakul was the best man at 112. Ledwaba was the best man at 122. Barrera was the best man at 126. Morales was the best man at 130. Hatton was the best man at 140. How did he not fight the top guys? What are you trying to say?

    126-130 he was a beast. He only fought once at lightweight so IDK.
    Same with 140 he only fought once there. 95% of his 147 bouts were catchweights.

    He didn't Singsurat TKO'd him and he went up to super bantam. He was Amir Khan before Amir Khan. Lose, blame weight, move up.

    Tis the nature of being a weight-jumper.

    Pac didn't stay long enough to accumulate a resume worthy of being among any one divisions' best of all time, with 130 being the exception that you could potentially argue for.

    From a none pompous point of view is beating the best in each division then stepping up and smashing the best in each other division not a sign that he couldn't be ****d sticking round beating foregone conclusions to build a resume in each,he is undoubtedly an atg in each division.there's no winning,if he stayed and beat ppl he knew he would beat he would have shirred the challenge of stepping up a la ggg

    122 was his best title reign. He was there for 9 fights and destroyed very good fighters like Julio and Ledwaba. He KO'ed everybody there with ease and would have finished Sanchez off too if not for the abbreviated stop to the contest.

    Exactly after the Marquez and Barrera fights he could have just chilled at 126 just savagely destroying every overmatched mandatory.

    But he didn't do that. We saw that against 3K battery that Pacquiao would just annihilate any non ATG with ease at his best weight.
