    Which is more impressive?

    Manny Pacquiao winning a 147 belt after starting at 106 is boss.

    How about Guillermo Jones starting at 147 and winning a cruiserweight belt?

    41 pound difference for Paccy and 53 difference for Jones (not Jr.).

    8 weight classes separate Pacquiao's heaviest title from his starting class.
    4 weight classes separate Jones.

    The answer is obviously Pacquiao, but people do tend to ignore how extraordinary Jones is for starting at welter and winning a belt at cruiser.

        Yeah, but this dude never lost a clear decision, and never got knocked out... it's all be MDs, SDs or controversial UDs...

        He started at welterweight.

        I mean, there is something to be said about a guy who could make 147 who won a belt at the 200 limit. People nut over Williams beating people up at 160... can you imagine him fighting Marco Huck?

          Its impressive for the "expanding man" to have come that far up in weight never really be clearly beaten while holding a title now at CW............well maybe holding it hostage too.

          He needs to GTF away from Don King and get active, its been about 2 years since he has fought now.

            both are impressive, but its the depth of the division that puts Pac ahead. Props to Jones nonetheless..

              For sure... This Don King nonsense is absurd.

                Roy Jones has fought at 154 and won a title at heavyweight thats 46 pounds right there.

                  Plus some... heavyweight is hard to gage the weight limit.

                  Sweet analysis though. I like it.

                  Arslan and Ruiz certainly weren't the beasts of the division. But those accomplishments were boss hog on candy anyway.
