Does Pacquiao deserves his own division?

145 was not made for Pac, as it is an established division already. :hey

Facing him was the 29-year-old Whitaker, with a record of 32-l with 15 KOs, the one loss the product of a dubious bit of ringside sleight of hand. He was the stylistic antithesis of Chávez—a southpaw, clever and quick-footed, with a bobbing, crouching, mobile style that made him an elusive target. Whitaker has also held five titles in three weight classes (he retained his WBC welterweight crown as dubious consolation for this draw), and his 12-round decision over Buddy McGirt on March 6 set up the match with Chávez. On Friday they were fighting for Whitaker's title, with a

—two below the customary welter-weight limit—set to accommodate the lighter Chávez, but there was a good deal more at stake. "This is for the best fighter, pound for pound," said Whitaker, a U.S. Olympic gold medal winner in 1984. "We may be fighting for my title, but that's not what everyone is talking about. This is like going for the gold again."

Manny already fights exclusively in the uncompetitive, all-hype PPV division popular with ignorant casual fans.

 

Yes . . . the midget division.

The measurement used in divisions are weight not height, idiot.

Some of you guys are ****ing ridiculous.

Keep in mind that there are far more divisions than there were in the past. Some of the older fighters may have only jumped 3 or 4 weight classes, but back then there were not as many weight classes as there are now.

Years ago, these were the 8 weight classes (It was even less before):
- Flyweight (light flyweight) – not more than 112 lbs;
- Bantamweight (flyweight) – 118 lbs;
- Featherweight (“feather-weight”, Featherweight) – 126 lbs;
- Lightweight (lighter weight) – 135 lbs;
- Welterweight (Welterweight) – 147 lbs;
- Middleweight (average weight) – 160 lbs;
- Light heavyweight (Heavyweight) – 175 lbs;
- Heavyweight (heavy weight) – More than 175 lbs.

Using those standards, Pac has moved up like 4 classes.

Now they've added Junior and Super to most of those to where we have like 17 weight classes.

So in the past you moved up one weight class by going from feather to light, but now you move up like 3 or 4.
