    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...

      no... corrales was huge for a lightweight. caballero is huge for a 122 lber.

        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 anyway

          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?

              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.

                    Yes. Pac was the Paul Williams of 108lbs. He's actually fighting people his own size now

                      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 caballero
