like its some spectacular thing?

he's been 147-8 fight night for the last 3 or 4 fights

the only real difference is he's fighting larger opponents and doesn't have to cut weight

hav u heard of a fighter who started @ mini flyweight in the professional ranks figure in a welterweight title fight?

name me one not named manny pacquiao amigo...

you are talking about a 16 year duration. im sure you went through 8 weight classes in that time too

im talking within the past year

Big part of res is how many divisions a guy wins belts in. Pac's moved up fast the last yr or so.

Because he's moved up 3 weight classes in under 12 months.

when u talk about weight scaling, why should it be limited to a single year man?

u were asking about why its a big deal & such & i felt stretching it all out from where MP started should get u ur answer...

anyway, im sure u know MP's exploits last 2008...
