I don't see how you can't see the difference. Hoya went up a couple of lbs. to face Hopkins and had been at JMW for a couple of years. Pac would be going up 12 lbs. and has only been at 135 for 1 fight. The situations aren't the same. Hopkins was criticised for taking on Hoya. Given the bigger size difference, Hoya is naturally taking flak for trying to fight Pac.

Agreed.

He hasn't fought the "best" there because it's his first fight at 135, the man barely began here and is on his way to have more and more fights, can't criticise his resume there yet.

It's the DLH fight that is attracting him to think otherwise at this point and it's not even going to be an easy fight, his first at 147 against an already huge Jr. Middleweight who made Mayweather look tiny?, this isn't a smart choice and only money is keeping Pac blind here. I'd rather see the MANY good fights Pac can offer at 135 and 140 than one big fight at 147 with possibly nothing to follow.

Yeah I know, im agreeing with you. Im saying he hasnt even faced the best yet at 135 and thats why jumping up to 147 to face a large guy who will struggle to make 147 is crazy.

Its even more so than Mosley going from 135 to 147 because Mosley was bigger than pac and had been at 135 for more than 1 fight.
