What Are Your Pac Weight Class Thoughts?

[DLT]

What are your thoughts on Pac's decision to stay at 140 and never go lower again? To me this was bigger then Floyd & Hatton. I think they honestly beleive that 140 is his best weight so what does that say? People always try to downplay his size but he's much bigger then guys give him credit for. I always say that him and Duran are the fakest little guys in history. They were always big guys who just killed themselves to go lower in weight. I also think they look at a guy like Chico who clearly stayed down too long and it end up really hurting him because he was too weight drained to be his best at the lower weights and by time he moved up he had ruined his body so much to where he wouldnt have been a threat anymore.

To me Pac has maybe the best body in the history of boxing. He's evenly built from head to toe and is built like a rock. Oscar clearly wasnt a prime Oscar but you could easily see that Pac still had very good power, strength, and speed at WW. He's definatly not a true WW or atleast not with the super huge one's we have right now but I think he is 100% a true 140 pounder. Still, thats just my opinion. What do you guys feel? Do you feel that he should just fight Hatton & Floyd and go back down to LW because thats his natural weight or what?


PS- I also think he should fight Hatton for 50/50 and I think he would in any other case but I think he's using Floyd as a pawn to tell Hatton that I can just fight Floyd for instead.

Lets see if he copes with the weight first shall we.

If he wins/is competitive he could stay but lets be homest who other than Hatton is he going to fight at 140?

I like 140 for Pac too, but there are bigger fights to be made at 135 IMO.

Im sure the top dogs would have no problem moving up 5 pounds for the opportunity to get a crack at the king. Especially since Pac isnt a BIG lww.

Good point. Guys like Diaz, Marquez, Valero, Campbell, Katsidis, and others would be fine at 140. I'll change my point a bit. Stay at 140, fight the lightweights there and clean out JWW, a pathetic division IMO.

personally, i didnt think he would be **** above 130

I think that people should start realize that his 1st legit weight class was 122 (cut the flyweight bull****, he was SOOO not a flyweight that he jumped 3 divisions after failing to make the limit). I want to see more of him at 135-140.

At 147 with people like Williams and Margarito he is clearly out matched, and he might not even be able to win a belt these days. but if he can be a force at 140... we have someone who has been a force at

122
126
130
135
140

That's something special...

It is hard to know, because the good fighters at 135 (Campbell and Marquez) are old and their best weight was 130 anyways.

Now if he beats Hatton at 140... that's quite interesting.

Well, considering we have NEVER seen him at 140 we cannot judge. Just wait.
