Floyd Mayweather moved up from 106lbs. also.

[JMM_135_#1]

Because we're comparing it to Mayweather's weight as a 16 year old child.

exactly .... but people always refer to pac as a former 106 lber as if it makes his achievements more special..... everyone at full adult size was a former 106 lber .... think about it

They were grown men. And, again you can not compare an amateur fight to a pro fight. Is not judged the same, it's just way different.

I understand that, but I'm not talking about the system.

I'm talking about the quality of fighters.

The guys Pac fought early in his career, would've been amateurs if those fights were to take place in the U.S.

Reason being is that they were too young for a professional license.

If Floyd was from the Phillipines or a poverty-stricten country, like Mexico, he would've been pro at 106lbs. also.

That's my point.
Why do we make it seem like Pac being a former 106lber is the same as Pac being someone who naturally weighs 106lbs, but choose to fight guys 40lbs. heavier just because he's so damn great?

[Piggu]

Pac can make 140 comfortably Floyd can not. They are not the same size at all.

The point was raised that Pacquiao weighed 122lbs. in 2002 and Floyd Mayweather weighed 140lbs.

I asked the question, which of the two fighters are able to drop back to the weight they weighed at in 2002 (122lbs. & 140lbs. respectively)?

I didn't ask which of them can move back to 140lbs.

So again, re-read.. son.

[Mushroom]

Who gives a ****? They're both borderline midgets who need to get in the ring as soon as possible. I hate all this too big too small bull****. Either man the **** up and fight or stay in the lower weight classes.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

did Floyd won titles at 112,122 ? Did Floyd was lineal champ at 112,126,140?

Has Floyd ever entertain teh tought of fighting Miguel Cotto?

WTF are you talking about? The only who was too young was Pac. Every Pac opponent was older than 18. Which mean if they were fighting here they would of been pro's

Is not a fact taht if Floyd was from the Phillipines or Mexico that he would of been pro at 106 or at 16yrs. Cuz not every filipino or Mexican turns pro at 16.

not neccesarilly, dont you think their poor enviroment may have caused them to turn pro earlier than they would in the u.s??

Again son, Floyd is the bigger fighter. Re read my post SON... Pac can still make 140 comfortably. Floyd can not. Floyd couldn't make 140 at age 30 son. Floyd is naturally the bigger fighter son.

Professionally, Floyd never fought at 112lbs. or 122lbs.

Again, because in America you gotta be 18 before you go pro.
