in your opinion what do you consider to be a better accomplishment for a fighter?
a guy who stays in one division, dominates it, and don't move up unless it's a good money offer, but goes back to the division he was originally at until he can't make the weight no more or wants better compo?
or
someone who moves up in weight whenever good money in involve. and wins multiple belts by beating it's belt holders and, lets say 1 or 2 of the belt holders are worthy opponents/HOF/ATG?

I think it just comes down to fighting the best in your era. Not every weight class has 4-5 stars or top caliber fighters where dominating that division would be an incredible accomplishment. You look at BHop at Middleweight in the 90s and he was beating everyone, but there also wasn't top competition in that division until 2000 which shortly after he moved up in weight.
In the end, it comes down to who you fight.
not talking bout pac or floyd
no one mention pac or floyd. this isn't a pac or floyd thread. this question apply to ever fighter in boxing not just these two. so, you can either read the post or answer the question or just leave.
Really
wow you could have fooled me
well in that case smart ass
I would say Moving up in weight because you dont know how your body is going to react the change/added weight
right now the only division hard to clean out would be 140-154
Dude Dude Dude
its obvious that what Pac has done will go down in the record books but come on now
you act like Floyd has been fighting bums
I would have more respect for pac and his accomplishments if he had chosen to fight JMM a third time and fought the better comp at the respective weight classes he fought at
why fight Clottey at 147 but not Cotto
Why fight the Diaz from Chicago and not the one from Texas?
Why Fight Clottey and not Berto or SSM or Collazo
those would all be the same if not bigger money fights for manny
all in all its a nice accomplishment for Manny
and the same can be said for Floyd but at least he comes out and says he is greedy and only fights for money instead of trying to mask it like manny
both are legit

Cleaning out a division is a lot harder than division hopping and fighting title holders. That's unless you're in a really weak division.
it might be harder but like you said what if you're in a weak division? lets say im a fighter who dominates the division but it's vs not so stellar compo. but this other fighter is going up in weight and fighting worthy opponents? who would you give the nod to then?
Is this about Manny Pacquiao and Bernard Hopkins?
no this thread has no intentions to bash or praise other fighters lol
im just asking a question and seeing what everyone thinks

Staying in the division and cleaning it out is better than moving up and picking up belts from weak title holders.
