Too much credit is given for titles at numerous weight classes.

[Flawless*]

Way too much credit is given to winning titles at numerous weight classes especially the lower weight classes . Look Pacman wins a title at 122,126 and 130. The difference is 8 pounds only and he is able to win 3 titles. All this is happening when Pacman walks heavier than these weight classes and is an around 147 pounds fight night. So that alone shows these feats are highly overrated.

Now look at Adamesk. I find his run from LHW to HW much more impressive and that of Roy Jones. From LHW to unlimited. A weight class which they are outweighed and not their normal weight.

The difference between 122 and 126 and 130 is 4 pounds between each division. While anything after 147 to 174, is 6 to 8 pounds difference. It's obvious no one who started at 140 is going to win world titles in 7 weight classes.


People use weight classes as justification as greatness. That doesn't really work

Send this thought to ring magazine. Perhaps, they can publish your rants for all boxing fans to see

Ah, another way to discredit Pacquiao. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChampBox@PR]

i'm just impressed pac was able to fight while being malnourished at 5'6.

Lol you've clearly never boxed. Trust me, it is a huge accomplishment hence why it's so rare and 99 per cent of fighters remain in their 'natural' weight class. And 4 lbs is a big difference when you weigh 57 kg/9 stone. It doesn't sound a lot, but divisions are there for a reason

[THe TRiNiTY]

Regardless of how you wanna cut it, Manny Pacquiao has been regarded as the VERY best in three to four different divisions. Winning The Ring world title in three of those divisions.

Like it or not, that takes a great fighter.

You think a "good" fighter like Ricky Hatton could have done it? No.

Hell Rocky Juarez can't even win a "world title" from a sanctioning body. And there are 50 per division.

[Jim Jeffries]

So you don't want to give Floyd any credit for winning titles in 5 weight classes?

Or does this only apply to Pacquiao?

[Flawless*]

This also applies to Floyd idiots. I used Pacman since he has won more titles at different weight classes
