Dont be surprised if Pac goes for a 9th title

[piano man]

Pac vs Abraham make it happen

Nothin' is better than two guys fighting for a vacant title in a division neither of them are ranked in.

The ***** that little fuucker gets away with is astounding.

pac is not gonna fight sergio or paul for the middle weight belt. they arent promoted by arum and arent flat footed or slow.

Ugh how convienient that suddenly all of Pacs opponents are plodding club fighters all of a sudden.

Yeah and 9 time out of 10 when that happens usually the two fighters haven't won a dozen or more titles between them. But I could see where you are coming from if I took half truths seriously.

FOOL - it doesn't matter if they are currently ranked in the division or not... They are so good, that if they decided to enter the division permanently, you would have no other choice but to start them off in the top 5 at least... Depending on the talent in that weight class. EX: If, let's say, Andre Ward announced he was moving to the LHW division, based upon the talent already there, and Ward's current status as SMW, he would enter the division worthy to challenge for a title in his first fight... THANK YOU, NOW I SAY GOOD DAY

Matthew Hatton is more worthy of a major title shot at WW then Amir Khan! Khan is not ranked in the WW division, therefore, he shouldn't be able to challenge for a title at the weight class!

So, you're ok with fighters jumping into divisons and winning titles without fighting anyone of consequence, or without beating any of the current title holders? Meaningless vacant titles are good enough for you? Great. You're really a knowledgable boxing fan that's good for the sport.

I am a very knowledgeable boxing fan and I am good for the sport I order PPV's, go to live fights, member of the BWAA - I actually contribute to the sport and the fighters...

I think it is perfectly acceptable for a pound for pound ranked fighter that is the top of his weight class, should be able to IMMEDIATELY fight for a title at another weight class of his choosing with/in reason - can't go from WW to SMW, for example... but I see absolutely nothing wrong or "cheap" with what Pac has done... He is clearly the best WW in the world - with wins over two top five WW"s in clottey and cotto... Thereby, fighting for a vacant title against a worthy challenger, in Margarito, is fine.

Wind the clock back many years ago - and you would laugh yourself to death if someone said Pacquiao would fight, and beat the guys he has - starting with Oscar...

[UglyPug]

AND if, err, when Pac beats Margarito - he should be able to fight for a title at MW... He would definitely be better than basically all of the "mandatory ranked" challengers for the title at MW... Even with Pac's HUGE size disparity compared to MW's, he would still be favored against essentially everyone, or ALMOST everyone that would be a potential MW title challenger...

You really honestly believe that Pac fighting Margarito for a vacant title is meaningful at all? You really really do?
