The way pac looked at 130, he should be able to do some damage at 135 too.
Oh wait... ALL of his opponents were former 122 and 126 fighters. Not sure.

As long as his power carries with him to lightweight i dont see him losing at all. Unless he lied about his problems making the 130lb limit and he's just lazy to cut weight the extra poundage should actually give his punches more oomph as he doesnt burn as much energy to throw em and have the extra weight behind it. Only 2 ways Pac doesnt become undisputed lightweight champ is he lied and he really isnt a natural lightweight now. or if JMM chases him to lightweight and loses a 3rd bout. The latter is more likely but i dont think that'll happen either cuz its obvious marquez will never take offensive initiative when Fighting Pac so will never win close decisions.Comment

very true, but I think that even the shot/old/a bit past it versions of morales, barrera, marquez are still very good, but they are not 130 fighters. I mean 130 definitely had some bigger people as their top names a while ago: Mayweather, Corrales, Hernandez (Chicanito, not Famoso), Casamayor, Freitas.Comment

It reminds me a lot of what Hopkins did. He fought older big names from smaller divisions. I think Pacquiao gets a pass though, because he started lower than all of his big name opponents, he just gets some criticism because they were old.
The amount of credit he gets is irrelevant to predicting how he will do at 135, you are correct about that.Comment

I think Hopkins gets a pass too, because he was way older than all of his big name opponents! Even more of a pass, because he cleaned up all of 160 while waiting for the big names to fight him.
I really dont mind that Pac fought the “old mexican featherweights”: all those fight made sense, no matter the weight. I mind when I read people saying he “dominated the best at 130“... It's always like this, I think I love almost every fighter, but I am pretty much disgusted by a large number of fans.Comment

What makes Sanchez the greatest featherweight of all time? He looked great against Danny Lopez (who with talent didn't?) and a smaller Bazooka Gomez, but he was no Will O' The Wisp.
Pep went 143 fights with only one loss, fought all comers, and even came back from a plane crash to continue as champion. It's unfortunate that because of how time has dimmed memories, Pep is largely forgotten.
Sanchez was great and would've been greater had he not died so young.Comment

I think David Diaz is a very managable fight for manny. But i think Hatton at light welterweight is an absolutly ****** ass idea. Hatton would be too strong for Manny imo, an Ricky would get no credit for that win-like Hopkins V Wright. But LW he will do OK. But Pac is not the best featherweight of all time lolComment

Why not.
Give me a fighter than tops his resume?
Salvador Sanchez?
From what I know he died young so the could have, would have doesn't matter.
Give me a feather guy who has a resume comparable to wins over JMM, MAB and Morales.
I'm scratching my head coz I can't think of none.Comment
