      Yes Pacquiao was a great fighter before he was 25.

      Now he is an ATG, one of the greatest of all time.

            I think the general point though is he didn't have a decorated amateur career, and turned pro at a very young age. He didn't fight in a world championships, olympic games, or the junior versions of either.

                Be careful there are many of your comrades that think being the champ is ****. That you are still garbage even if you win the belt...

                  Pac never been a part of national team. He was fighting in towns and village festivals for a living when he was a kid. When he grew big enough (13-14yr) he went to Manila and worked some odds jobs like selling cigarittes in the street. Started pro as early at 15-16.

                      These are no mere belts.

                      These are lineal titles againts the very best of the division. These 3 fighters were the best of their division at the time. there is no argument here plus Barrera and Sasakul were the Lineal Champions.


                      112 - Sasakul
                      122 - Ledwabba
                      126 - Barrera
