Henry Armstrong (KO'd the future MW champ, but lost the rematch for the title, call me when pac starts KOing MW)

harry greb (was a MW champ who was KOing HW's)

De La Hoya was a MW champ, Pac stopped him.

Case closed.

Case closed.

First Oscar - Sturm was a robbery
Second, Pacman beat a weight drained Oscar who fight night weight was only 146 compared to 165 Oscar Floyd fought

There are too many historic weight climbers in history to call pacman the best.

Geez Roberto duran went from Bantamweight to Lightheavy weight! and he caught titles

thats my opinion and youre not obligated to agree. now what?

Cheers mate


All have O in there name

the difference is, pac is a pro at the age of 16. see now?

[Manny Duckman]

the difference is, pac is a pro at the age of 16. see now?

And Floyd was 106 also at the age of 16.

Does it make a difference fighting in the pro or amateur ranks. They both weighed the same at 16 and both weigh the same at 147.

No, there's a lot of fighters way back who climb many divisions than Manny... Roberto Duran, Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Robinson... etc...

But, when you look at Manny's titles from 112-140, it's 6 world titles;
112, 122, 126(no belt), 130, 135. 140... He didn't fought at JR. Bantamweight and Bantamweight.. He Jump directly to 122 which the Jr Featherweight...

If I were to say, based on the accomplishments that he had achieved..
I would consider him to be the best division climber in history assuming he will win against Cotto which will be his 7th title in different divisions.

Yes, it does make a difference.. A true boxing fan do notice that. Besides, do you know what's the real difference? When both was still at their teens, Pacquiao claimed the WBC Flyweight belt, while Mayweather is still sharpening his blades. Pacquiao took a risk,
to overcome the struggles of life. DONE!

If Floyd was in the same situation he would have done the same.

Pacman and PBF at 16 weighed the same
Pacman and PBF at WW weigh the same now as well
