    Will be interesting to see how he modifies his style after he moves up in weight and his power isn't as effective anymore. No more 1 shot KOs. TIme to rely on boxing skills.

    Probably jr welter/welter, depending on how well he can absorb punches by bigger fighters and if he can maintain a good percentage of his speed and power. He sure has the athleticism to do whatever he wants in the ring. These are really unfair expectations though. Pac has made jumping weights look so easy for smaller fighters.

    What Pac has done has given me a new found respect for someone like Duran, who I often criticised for his losses. The guy was basically the same size as Pac, maybe a little bit bigger frame, and he was able to be competitive at the elite level all the way up to middleweight.

    its the true def. of an ATG how they handle when they move up in weight, young guys can move up and down weight as long as someone isn't in their late 30s (ahem....marquez vs. mayweather) he is still a small man so 130 is pretty reasonable

    126-130. He isn't as big as people claim him to be. he only weighed 126 on fight night. Perez and agbeko are as big or bigger than donaire.

    He has said his goal is to stop at 130. The same weight class of the great "Flash" Elorde.

    I'd say 126-130 tops.

    what were the fight night weights for Donaire and Montiel?
