Are Pacquiao's accomplishments @ 147 really "that much" better than pbf's?

    Both men have decent Welter weight resumes. Neither one have great welter weight credentials at the moment but the big thing here is how long it took Floyd to face true welter where he's been for 5 yrs + vs PAC who's only been at 147 for just under a year and a half and already have 3 legit Welters on his ledger. Not that either have a lot to brag about at 147 but the key thing here is the length of time each man has had to make an impact. Floyd clearly had a lot more time to make his mark and he's just now doing it.

    because pac has never tested the waters at welter yet, i dont see DLH as test because we all know that DLH came in the ring like a ghost (not that we all expect it to be).

    read what you just wrote ,a fighter can fight at the welterweight limit as long as he doesn't go over 147 or below 140 meaning if you want to fight me at welterweight meet those terms ,however when you make your opponent come down in weight 2 pounds more of the original weight then something is wrong.

    Yeah 1 time ...he did fight Hagler and both weigh in at 160.
    The thing with Pac is Arum is trying to make this his game and his game only thats why Floyd don't want to work him.

    Dumbass it means "up" to 147 pounds. Not up to 145 pounds. This thread didn't say "@145" now did it?

    And? Floyd never tested the water at junior middleweight but yet he fought De la hoya with no bs catchweight. Leonard move up to 160 pounds after a 3 year layoff. <<<3 FREAKING YEARS vs the best fighter at middleweight back then Hagler. Pacquiao how ever don't have the same risk that Leonard has. This is why Pacquiao will never accomplish more then Leonard in his career cause Leonard fought way better fighters then Pacquiao and in his prime Leonard never fought at a bs catchweight.
