    A little over a year by now. March 2008, Pac became lineal champ at 130. To give you an idea, this is the top10 at super-feather today.

    1. Jorge Linares
    2. Humberto Soto
    3. Yuriorkis Gamboa
    4. Cassius Baloyi
    5. Roman Martinez
    6. Robert Guerrero
    7. Rocky Juarez
    8. Jorge Barrios
    9. Kevin Mitchell
    10. Alex Arthur

    Now we are matching Pac up with who? Cotto, Mosley, Floyd, and even Paul Williams. Its kind of insane. Some people even say its unfair that he's asking them to move down to a catchweight.

    Well he's filled out the weight fine. If he fought Oscar at 147 he can fight there again.

    I'm not stupid. I know that fighting much bigger fighters who are all in my top10 p4p, Pac might get beat. I'm trying to give u some perspective

    I see then they have **** rankings cause how can they justify having Linares at number one when he only fought one time at that division against a bum.

    If Pac never really build his body to move up in weight, he would be a natural 130 right now. Everytime he goes up in weight, he has to build his body to handle the weight. That's the only reason why he's weighting in the 140-150. He is a small 5'6 person.

    Definately insane. What a difference a year makes. Stepping back and looking at it is a trip.

    Probably top 5 even though he hasnt fought anyone with a pulse at 130 he is the WBA beltholer and the division isnt very deep right now.

    I heard hes fighting on the Floyd-JMM undercard.
