Would be Pac greater than he is now if he stayed at 135-140 & cleaned the divisions?

All the best young 140 fighters will eventually needs to come up weight starting with Ortiz and the rest will follow.

147 was stacked when Pac came in. Coincidentally, it was also around the same time Floyd "retired". Now that he demolished the top guys, its weak? Gtfoh with that shiit! The welterweight division was dying down when Pac came in actually. Margarito was recently brutalized and along with Cotto. Mosley was the clear champion at the weight. It was, however, the best business move for Manny. I believe Manny would be more popular with the hardcore boxing fans if he were to stay at 135-140, but he would not have the mainstream success he is currently having.

Since the quality op is there and not at 147 I would think so. 147 is really ****ty right now. And has been for awhile. 147 was stacked when Pac came in. Coincidentally, it was also around the same time Floyd "retired". Now that he demolished the top guys, its weak? Gtfoh with that shiit!

He'd be Khan or Bradley, so no.

KO's on Oscar and Cotto>Valero, J Diaz, Soto, Nate Oscar was past it, but everybody thought Pac would get KTFO easy to pretend now to know Oscar was gonna lose that fight many exciting fights for Pac 135 if he stayed put those 2 wins at WW did far more for Pac than unifying 135 would

I think Pac best weight class is between 135-140 in terms of his size and strength against equally the same size opponents. You think beating the best fighters in 135-140 can offer will make Pac even a greater fighter than he is now or he made the right decision when he moved up at welterweight? Pac made the right decision in moving up. It's made a greater fighter than if he opted to stay at 135-140.

he made the right business decision moving up in weight to fight the more lucrative names....but at some point he is gonna flame out big fighting theses bigger guys. he would be astonishing to watch at the lighter weights..he would be back to having one-punch ko power..not that he isn't fun to watch now! Agreed! I think he should move back down to 140 since there aren't any more good fights in welterweight. He'd knock everyone out. And if Floyd does show up, he should move back up for that fight.

Since the quality op is there and not at 147 I would think so. 147 is really ****ty right now. And has been for awhile. The quality of opposition by the time Pac moved up to 147 were loaded with talent with the likes of Cotto, Floyd, Clottey, Margarito and others. It's only now after Pac beaten a few of them became weak.

If he never went to 147, a certain segment of fans would cry that he won't go up because afraid of a certain fighter. That and he's afraid of playing with the big boys. Now that he had beaten them next to a pulp, he cherry picked them. So now we can expect "them" to say, he's afraid of the smaller, quicker, slick lightweights.

no.....going up in weight >>>>>>unifying belts...
