Pacman - Fly to Welter ODH - SFW to MW Hearns/SRL - Light - LHW, Hearns also has tenuous cruiser claims Duran - Light - MW RJJ - MW - HW But if a multi weight career was planned from debut which weight would be the premium to start? For Straw weights to make the initial weight you have to be very small. Does this limit weight jumping I would say Fly. If an exceptional teenager won aged 18 early in their career with growth spurts you could go higher eventually than Pacman is now
Considering Pacquaio has pretty similar body dimensions to Mayweather, Cotto and Hatton - I have no clue how he fought at 106. The guy looks to be quite natural at 140-145.
I think if you can start at 125 as a kid, get a quick title, get another quick title at 130, you've then got natural growth and the fact that 24lbs is NOT that much weight. Then you're looking at six divisions, factor in a time of a weaker MW champion the likes of Pavlik and you could go seven. I look at Pacquaio as an example of this. 125 130 135 140 147 154 160
