He should forget about Pacquiao, Ortiz, and anyone else currently at 147. He should look for 2-3 fights at 140 before he starts thinking 147. If he made the jump straight up Pacquiao who is already accustomed to the weight would destroy him, and someone like Ortiz would walk into the ring on fight night weighing 160+ lbs and would overwhelm him.
There are good fights available at 135 and very good fights at 140 for him. I can't begrudge the guy for looking at mega-fights, as you only get a few chances in your career to hit the jackpot, but for credibility's sake, I hope he looks more realistic opponents.
