Duran did it!!! Why can't Pac move up in weight?

Not all fighters have the frame to carry as high a weight and fight at their optimum ability through the further weight-classes...
Could Pacquiao probably fight at 154-160, yeah maybe but we probably wouldn't see the same sharp speed that he can utilize from 140-147

Mike Tyson 5 10 heavyweight, Paul Williams 6 1 welterweight height and weight are two very different things.
Pac could win a middleweight title if he had the right opponent for example Pac would murder the Martinez that Cotto fought. Pac is naturally smaller than Duran and also fought in more weight classes.
Also I disagree that Pac is a better boxer than Hands of Stone. Silly thread.

I might be missing the point here but...
All humans have physical limitations to how much weight they can lose or gain safely.
This is largely dependent on 1) Genetics 2) Racial profile 3) Body type
You simply cannot just pick any boxer and say "Why can't he fight at XXX weight?"
It just doesn't work like that.
