At the age of 16 RJJ won the National Junior Olympics in the 119lb weight division...

Guys like mayweather and RJJ fought the best competition in the world as amateurs. Pac fought cab drivers and dish washers.

 

this psycho has a point? i mean pac was 16 and 106ILBs and now hes 147. where as rjj was 16 and went from 119 to 200

 

Wow Jones went from 119 to HW! Greatest P4P ever!

 

NO they couldnt have "easily" done it . For every Barerra or pac that comes through theres thousands more that never get their career going as they are thrown to the wolves.

 

Floyd fought some great cubans alright

 

oh shiit Im sori I swear I thought rico started this thread :good:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

This is from a thread I created a while ago addressing the weight differences:

 

Pac wasnt thrown to the wolves, he fought fairly safe guys for a long time. His first real step up fight was Ledwaba, and that was Pac's coming out party. However he was dominated in his next fight vs Sanchez. Lets keep in mind that pac did lose fights along the way and could have easily lost 3 or 4 more.

 

its not credible at all its the junior olympics, if it was the golden gloves or the actual olympics it will have merit

thats like saying Ali won the teeny toddler national amateur championship at 8 years old in the 106lb weight division...take that Henry Armstrong

 

He fought the lineal champion at flyweight at his hometown at the age of 19 atschatschatsch

 

Did i say he was fighting bums??? I said FAIRLY SAFE, do you even understand what that means??? If I was saying that he fought bums then I would have said he fought bums. Some of the guys that Pac fought during that time were good fighters Sasakul is one of those good fighters. That is the reason that I said FAIRLY sure.

 

I know that your not dumb in fact your my favorite *******. But your missing the point. Lets say that Pac lived and grew up in the States, he would not have been allowed to turn pro before he was 18. He would have likely had a longer amatuer career and would have turn pro at 19 will say for argument. it would have been at 115 or 118 but within a year he would have been up to 122/126. You cats just dont see anything that appears to take credit away from Pac. Your missing the point, all Im saying is YOU *******s are making far too much out of the weight issue, that is the reason that Pac was able to move up in wieght, he was a kid when he was fighting at those tiny weights, its natural that he moved up in weight, and its the reason that he has gotten even stronger as he moved up, he was drained making the smaller weights, note when Pac moved up he went WAY up, he was drained when he was knocked out at flyweight the last time he jumped up 10 pounds to 122 and blasted out a much bigger fighter. Since his last lost to JMM:good he has gotten stronger at the higher weights. All this leads to Pac being weight drained and therefore his moving up in weight not that big of a deal, since its were he should have been in the first place.

 

This is very impressive. Thanks for the info, TS!
