Everyone knows Pac could easily make 140 now. Some people (including me) think he could easily make 135 now. Many people think Pac does not have the ability to compare to other ATGs, but if you consider what Pac is doing to guys the size of Margarito, Clottey, Cotto and Oscar, then you really have to wonder what he could be doing at lightweight and/or light-welterweight. Would he be one of the most lethal fighters ever?
Popkins, these guys in a sense are very much tailor made for Pac. No doubt Roach has been fine-tuning Pac but it's not like he went from the Moon to the Sun from the Marquez fights. These bigger guys are bigger targets and Pac's speed is still rather spectacular and his stamina is great because he doesn't need to drain. Plus, he's carrying that power and probably improving it with weight. These bigger guys are bigger target and their more sluggish. A faster, smaller technician like Marquez would always trouble him more at 135. Pac would crush pretty much everyone in that 135-140 weight because nobody there could really compete with him. Would he look more impressive? Well he wouldn't be beating these massively bigger guys. So in the end this is right the way to do it for him. Pac style truly translates well into this higher classes. He's a machine. And truthfully he wasn't as small as most people made out when he was in some of these lower classes. He cut weight and was generally bigger than his opponents in those lower classes. Just my 2 cents...
