    kinda strange considering that technically, Pac has never fought at a catch weight...

    He hasn't fought in a catch weight fight yet. The DLH fight was at WW.

    Why don't your facts right and go and pick on Bernard Hopkins instead.

    Although he didnt' dominate some of the divisions, he will indeed be remembered for his freaking weight-division jumping. That's why he is called the PACMAN- gobbling up title after title..

    Without a doubt he will be remembered as a Boxer who jumped up in weights, but never dominated a division.

    His stay at 122 was pretty dominant, although I don't think the division had very big names at the time.
