I donttt know about overrated, but it is used in the wrong context a lot. The guy was huge for 130, and he didn't do anything at 108 anyway...simply put, thsres no way you could call him a natural 108 lber, and I don't think you could call growing an accomplishment...His world class success at various weights is another subject...
any body else think that pacs "former 108lb'er" tagline is overrated?

And pacquiao was huge for 130, he was gaining about 18 lbs overnight...just because he wasn't super tall for his weight like the other two doesn't mean he wasn't big for his weight
regardless, his resume of wins means much more than his weight jumping anywayComment

EXACTLY!
whats up with pacfans not seeing alot of things? im happy for them that they have someone to look up to because i dont think they had anything before, to be honest i never even heard of a country called the phillipines until pac. so he put you all on the map, i would have heard of the country some other way as time went bu like one of my really good friends is mexican and hes dating some phillipina girl. but all this pac **** is really getting to their heads, they say and do some of the most ignorant **** when it comes to boxing.
philippines is not really a popular country compare to usa and uk, france, etc. if you dont know any popular pinoys in usa that dont mean theres really NONE. theres about hundreds of countries in the world, can you name them all? i bet you cant name all the states in USA too eh?Comment

who gives a ****. how many loses doesnt may and pac have as pros?When PBF was 108-112 he's losing to an Amateur Martin Castillo & 5 other amateurs.
Pac lost 2 fights at 112 but that was against Professional much older than him. But He has a KO win over the Lineal 112 Champion at 19. Floyd still losing fights when he was 19 against amateurs.Comment

at 130 pac was coming in at 140-3... not 18 lbs. his opponents were putting as much weight as him. he never grossly outweighed his opponents.
not like cotto will have 10+ lbs on pac on fight night.Comment

Who the **** cares???...Boxers have beaten fighters who outweighed them before....Go through Floyds career...........Comment

I just checked, pacquiao weighed 145 against Marquez on fight night. I was off by 2 lbs, but 16 lbs is a pretty heavy amount, if you ask me. About as much as corrales or caballeroComment
