when pacman retires will his division jumping count against him in h2h match-ups against dominant champs from the past that stayed in a division and made it there own personally the durans and haglers impress me more than winning a tittle defending it once or not at all then jumping a weightclass
Much of a muchness, I'd say. If someone moves up to avoid a challenge, it should count against him. On the other hand, moving up to seek new challenges should be seen as a positive thing.
I think nowadays it holds just as much credit. With the lack of talent and the frequency at which fighters fight, credibility is now gotten from jumping up in weight. The fight will Cotto will determine if Pac is the real deal or not in my opinion.
