One thing that struck me about the article was how young he started his pro career. How do you qualify that that historicaly when comparing him with other fighters who started later but went through several weight classes with success?
well, he did beat an elite, P4P and lineal champ in sasakul at flyweight. but he was very young then and was still growing to his natural weight... however, some say, like in the article that he is still growing even now... but i would have to say that pac's best weight was at either 122 or 126.
I can't even get footage of Too Sharp and I have been wanting some for quite some time, so I won't speak on the matter. That being said I know most of the Pac fans in yesterday's thread haven't seen footage of him either so their analysis is meaningless.
I don't get the question fully. How do I compare him to others who have started young and moved through the weights? I rate him highly in that regard, and it shows how effective a fighter Pacquiao's style has made him to go with his physical abilities, but I still don't think he'd have beaten the elites at any single weight he's stopped at.
