    Who else besides Manny Pacquaio and Roy Jones did that?


    Roy Jones 160-199 = 39 pounds

    Manny Pacquaio 112-150 = 38 pounds

    I wanted to add James Toney, but he didn't really win a significant title at Heavy and he was caught with a banned substance in the Ruiz fight.


    Thomas Hearns is another mention

    147-190 = 43 pounds.

    Floyd is scared to fight them?

    No no no, this is were you say he (Manny) used PED's. no worries mate, once your "gorilla" ends up in state lock up, maybe you can get visitation.

    But lets use your logic against your "dog"

    he won the bronze during the 96 Olympics in the featherweight division 126 lbs limit

    his first pro fight was against Roberto Apodaca @ 131 lbs.

    he fought oscar at 154 lbs

    that puts his heaviest fight vs his lighest fight at a difference of 28 lbs. Thats damm near amazing.

    Is gorilla **** the new street slang for PED's? Cause by your logic Mayweather is using his ass as a pin cushion.

    PBF has won titles from Junior Lightweight to Light Middleweight which is also a mean feat. Full credit Pacman for his dominating performance on Saturday. He evolution from 1 handed brawler to boxer puncher with outstanding speed and lateral movement is complete. Saw the evolution 1st against Dangerous David Diaz. He is an all time great. I am a PBF man whom I believe will stop Pacman as styles make fights however Pacman is a true great who has ravaged bigger men. I hope he takes the olympic style blood testing so that he and PBF can settle matters.

    Mickey Walker and Sam Langford were the forerunners for this kind of thing but they never won titles.

    Pacquiao and Mayweather both fought at around 106lbs when they was 16. Both have now fought at 140+. Both must be on drugs.
