    Will Pac solidify his ATG claim if he went to 140 and cleaned house (sparing Khan)? Easy fights for him all around. Maidana too raw, Bradley to featherfisted to bother Pac, Alexander's a glass heart *****, Judah's shot.

    JMM, even though he's 0-1-1 against Pac, still might trouble Pac some, but he still beats him easily too, at any weight from 140 up. Might as well put Morales here, yeah he gets his **** blasted too, maybe within 1 round this time.

    Btw, Pac camp saying BS as usual.

    Just Khan. Ariza is still farting in Manny's bulletproof Escalade.

    Pac is one of the few fighters in history that has been able to carry his power up with him in weight... That, in my opinion is the main reason he's been successful at the higher weights. Added weight and muscle more often than not is a detriment to a fighter's ability. Just look at Shane Mosely... at 135 he was one of the most dominant fighters I've ever seen. As soon as he went to 147, he started struggling against bigger guys like Wilfredo Rivera... and at 154, his speed and power were all but nullified. Again, what makes Pacman so special is that he has been able to carry his power up with him in weight.

    he didn't carry his power from 130 days.

    Oscar TKO 8 (he quit)
    Hatton KO 2
    Cotto TKO 12 (ref stoppage, could have gone the distance)
    Clottey UD 12
    Margarito UD 12

    He's not sparking the bigger people left and right, he's outboxing them, taking away their confidence then beats them down.

    Also, he didn't have to lose so much water weight anymore. He used to weigh in 142-145 at fight night when he was 130'er, nor he weighs in at 147-149 fight night. Not too much of a difference there.

    Also, all, and I say, all of his opponents understimate his power. It's all the "Im bigger Im stronger" BS since he moved up from 130. They feel his power, they don't know wtf to do anymore. Shane Mosley's next, he'll feel dumbfounded everytime he gets a straight left down his nose.
