Common Sense and Boxing Science.

By Jon Ingram, "Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer in the history of the sport to win championship belts in 8 divisions. Let’s save the excuses of any catch weight argument’s that one may have for every professional boxer knows the stipulations of each fight before they sign the contract, do they not? There is news of Pacquiao being a “Little Man Filling Big Shoes” to possibly take on the much larger Saul “Canelo” Alvarez if he is to get past Lara in their upcoming fight. A lot of fans, including trainers Floyd Sr, and Roger Mayweather have said that If Pacquiao wants to fight Floyd Jr, then he should beat Canelo first. Me personally, I feel that Manny would beat Canelo just as bad as Mayweather did, but that’s another argument though. I feel that Manny don’t need to fight Canelo to get to Mayweather. Even though Manny and Floyd are in the same division, weight the same, and Floyd fought a bigger Canelo, people feel that since he did it, then Pac should take that fight also. I think people tend to forget that Pacquiao is three divisions lighter then Mayweather was when they started boxing. So technically, it’s not Pacquiao that needs to fight Canelo. If you want to flip it, for Mayweather to be fighting the same size guy’s that Pacquiao is technically fighting, Floyd would be fighting guys in the super middle weight division. Of course Floyd would no way fight Andre Ward. That would be crazy of him, which I’m not saying he should do, but that’s what Manny is doing in the welterweight division, yet people are surprised when he’s not knocking guys out anymore. To be honest, it would be a shame for any natural born welterweight to be knocked out by someone who’s fighting much above their natural division. All I’m saying, is that when people say that “well how come it’s ok to want Floyd to fight Genady “GGG” or Sergio Martinez but not ok for Pacquiao to fight them guys” just remember, technically Pacquiao is fighting bigger guys compared to him in WW then GGG or Martinez would be to Floyd.”
