duran went from lightweight to welterweight right? so what if linares.......

[Left Hook Tua]

Also the reason Duran (and Shane Mosley) skipped the 140 lb weight class is because they were having so much trouble making 135, they figured that they wouldn't be at 140 long enough to make it worthwhile. Plus they both had super targets (Leonard, De La Hoya) in front of them to motivate the jump.

the only super target at 135 is manny. what's his chance of him getting a fight with him? not much.

i wished roberto and shane didn't skip 140 though.

i think i can think of at least 1 fight for each at 140 that would've been okay......

He has a good chance of KO'ing Mundine I reckon.

don't get defensive.

it's just not easy to move up in weight.

how many are successful doing it?

people don't even think pacquiao could make it at 135 before and he was coming from 130 at the time.

Very true, Tua. If you look at the number of lightweights who went on to win welterweight titles, it's very limited.

Yep. I'll add that Mosley fought at 139 pounds as an amateur and actually came down for the pro's. So that jump made sense
