I've always given respect to Pac for being where he is today based on where he started. Back then, he was a starving BOY who was knocked out TWICE. That would end a lot of fighters careers. But Pac continued to mature, packed his bags, and headed to the States and found Freddie Roach. From there, Pac went through puberty and grew into the Man he is today. Even Freddie said Pac was a boy back then and a Man today. Pac probably just took longer to mature because of the poor nutrition, preventing his body from growing because of the less protein/fat/cab diet, and possibly his genetics. Fighters that are that low of weight, no matter what age you are, have boy bodies.
Today, he is at his best. He had to keep moving up in weight because his body was thickening. He moved up from 135 because he had to dehydrate down to 135 to make weight, then he would rehydrate to 147 pounds. He decided to take the healthier approach and move up to JrWW so that he didn't have to kill himself to make weight the next time out.
And let's not get ahead of ourselves and act like Pac is the only one that has jumped weight this far or fought "bigger fighters." But it does put him in a class that is small next to other legends of the past. However, I would say jumping weight at the higher divisions where the fighters are more likely to have "MAN" bodies, is much harder. But what Pac has done is still very good.
i don't know what exactly but something is really wrong with you man!
