Vic moved 1 division above and was not his usual destructive self.. he was the matador last night not the bull.. It yet again proved how hard it is to move up in weight and be the same fighter(other e.g Pavlik-hopkins, hatton-collazo, Oscar-hopkins etc. etc.)... And Pac moving up 1 division after another and destroying guys is being badly overlooked atleast in this forum where haters are even accusing PAC of cherrypicking.. :boxing::boxing:

I fail to see how Vic Darchinyan losing in his Bantamweight debut gives credence to the accomplishments of Pacquiao. Your logic is severely misplaced.
Manny has been able to move up in weight rather easily because he has been growing from a boy into a man. The guy started boxing when he was still a teenager.
I'm not saying Pac isn't a fantastic fighter, he is, and the deserving P4P champ. His career should be seen for what it is though: A young boy of 16 rising through the weight classes as he grows to become a champion at 140. He is now 30 years old and fully grown.
You do realise that Vic himself moved up a division from 112-115 pounds. Was he the same fighter? No, he was a better fighter. There are dozens of examples where a fighter can move up in weight and be more than competitive. Pac is not the only one.
Yep. Vic didnt pick the weakest title holder (D. Diaz),
and Vic didnt demand a catchweight either. hmmmm............
Good point, but agebeko didn't outweight vic by 10 lbs on fight night like cotto will pac

WTF? This has nothing to do with PAC. Vic is Vic.
Yeah Pac is great, but using Vic as an example to display how great he is, seems pretty lame, since Vic is one of the least skilled fighters in sport today.
Yeah Juan manuel Marquez is great....... He can move up in weight and KO the 35' pounders "catchweight" Pacquiao avoided.
I think that Vic fight last night showed how good and powerful Donaire is!
Pbf/jmm is a catchweight too. Do u approve or disapprove?
Invalid comparison imo.
why???????
TS I agree. And to think Pacquiao came up from 105 pounds.
Mayweather's gotta get some respect for coming up in weight too over his career.
