    what if Manny was still.....

    between 105-108 divison, with the style he has now. Would he be known?

    if thats to low, then flyweight? would manny still be famous if he were still fightin with his current style at a lower weight?

      there's not enough competition at that low a weight. even calderon and vilora struggle to get their names out there.

        pac will be known in the P.I. and enjoy some popularity but would be no where near his iconic status today...

          You will only be acknowledged if you fight known fighters. So staying at 105-108 is really pointless.

            Remember Pac was 106 when he started boxing but won his first title at 112. So it would be better if he was still in 112-118 division.

              Yes because he would probably be fighting at 122-126. He would be this generations Prince Naseem Hamed. I know haters will hate but the Prince was really big back in the late 90's early 00's and HBO was setting him up to be a big star...they way they were promoting him. If he would have got passed Barrerra then he would have got Morales, Tapia, Marquez and Pacquiao. I know because Im a fan of the lower division and watching back then.

              With that said Prince showed that little guys could be stars. Pac's Style is very crowd pleasing and he is a very promoteable guy. That and the fact there are some big time fights for him at that division

              Israel Vasquez
              Juan Manuel Lopez
              Rafael Marquez
              Vic Darchiyan
              Fernado Montiel

              Pac could carry the fight promotion wise and these fighters could all make for exciting fights inside the ring.

                Known, but not nearly as big as he is now. The smaller guys don't get that much shine.
