*Boxing History thread about fighters who put on Weight throughout History*

[pugay_kamay]

History will prove that winning belts at higher weight classes is cute, but doing it aginst subpar competition means nothing.

And that goes for Pac and Floyd.

No one will forget Floyd beat Baldimir....

No one will forget Pac beat a damaged Cotto....

No one will forget he beat a weight drained Oscar who havent fought at 147 in 11 years.

No one will forget David Diaz was not the best 135 Pounder.

No one will forget that Hatton was already KO'd and destroyed by Mayweather.

No one will forget that Pac instead of fighting Bradley...wanst Malignagii.

No one will forget that instead of Martinez....Pac wants Foreman.

So spare me that higher weight class ****.

DLH agreed to it, he's man enough to abide what it is on the contract. Unlike Floyd against JMM.

Hatton was not destroyed by FLoyd, he was destroyed by Pacman literally.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Filipino Ceferino Garcia started as a lightweight and ended up winning a title at middleweight. His lowest weight 130-135 when he beat lightweight/welterweight contender Harry Stone, highest weight 166 when he beat the Mexican great Kid Azteca.

Im not impressed.

Beat the BEST.

Beat Mayweather, Mosley, Bradley, Martinez...at thier correct weights please.

Now thats great.

You should tell that to Floyd dude.

Well hopefully what he realized from my post that there other Great Asian fighters that came before Pac. There were even great Filipino fighters that came before. Matter of Henry Armstrong challenged a Filipino for the MW championship. So there is Filipino history even at MW. And, we don't look at Asian as good fighters at the higher weight-class. But, all that is just pure stereotyping.

I am hear to see other peoples views and I learn something. And, that is how I post also to try to point out my views. And, hopefully teach somebody something that they didn't know before...

Ceferino Garcia is his name. Henry Armstrong fought him at MW and lost via decision.

Garcia defended the title 3 times and lost to Ken Overlin on points.

Yeah but most of those guys gained weight leading to their demise.Not towards being better,faster and able to absorb heavier punches.

C'mon Foreman gained those weights eating 50 whopper in one sitting!
