changing topic - favorite tactic of those who don't actually have anything to say. When Pac fought at 147, he was moving up beyond a good fighting weight for him and Oscar was moving down beyond a comfortable weight for him - that's fair, they both compromised. Now you want Pac, who's settled at 140 to fight 147 fighters at 147 without a compromise? :nut Either live with a catch-weight or wait another year for Pac to fill out a bit more - and risk Pac retiring before you get your shot at him.
Hey, I know he's small to be ****'n with Cotto or Mosley! He could beat Cotto I think possibly though.
If you had told me Pac would have beaten...sorry DESTROYED Diaz, De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in 1 year I would not believe you NO WAY. If you told me he would be facing Mayweather in a fight he has a chance of winning I'd say NO WAY NO WAY. It just seems unbelievable how far he's come.
Not only was he a super-featherweight a year ago, Pacman started at 106 lbs, a strawweight. If you take not only this past year, but the entire body of work, there is no dispute that he is truly the number 1 pound-for-pound best fighter in the sport today and maybe of this generation.
Pac's the man, but I grow tired of this Pac weight moving thing. He was killing himself under 130. Roach said he started struggling to make 130. So the only logical thing for him to do is for him to move up. You're biggin' him up for doing what he had to do!!
Yes. But not every fighter continues to be successful and effective after being forced by their body to go up in weight. Some very good fighters in the past couldnt successfully handle going up 1 or 2 weight classes from their prime weight class.
we have seem a lot of fighter move up from 135 to 154 and welterweights ending up as lightheavyweights there are stories of middleweights with significant heavyweight fights but how about a flyweight, knocking out a 140 champ...that has never been done before...it is hard to do it and to even excel on it is phenomenal
