Any fighter from past to present, started at 106 could duplicate Pac accomplishments?

Most fighters don't start professionally at such a young age anymore and the ones that do typically don't become all that great. Of course there are exceptions, but I don't know if we'll see another Manny Pacquiao with how well he's added the weight and kept his physical gifts intact, all without amatuer experience. Pretty impressive.Comment

Ill take Sam Langford crossing of weights over Manny's. He beat a top 3 all time great lightweight. Drew with a top 15 welterweight all time. Beat a top 10 all time middle and beat a top 15 all time heavy. If he had been allowed to fight for titles and there were 17 weight classes like today it is arguable he could have been champion at 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, 168, 175, cruiserweight and heavyweight. Thats NINE weight classes!! This was also at a time with only one champion per division.Last edited by JAB5239; 03-08-2012, 04:11 AM.Comment

Well my point is...if you cant say anybody from 106 could beat Margarito regardless of his situation..except Pac who actually did it.Last edited by straightleft; 03-08-2012, 03:12 AM.Comment

This unique situation some haters failed to understand. They thought Pac beating Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Mosley and Margarito wasn't special but then Pac was indeed started at 106 beating this caliber fighters at 140-150 is almost unbelievable just because nobody did it before.Most fighters don't start professionally at such a young age anymore and the ones that do typically don't become all that great. Of course there are exceptions, but I don't know if we'll see another Manny Pacquiao with how well he's added the weight and kept his physical gifts intact, all without amatuer experience.

Pro > Amatuer. Pro Pac at 16 fought full grown men while amateur Floyd at 16 wore bullet proof vest and helmet.Comment
