I like Pac and am a fan. And everyone knows I can't stand Mayweather. But Floyd was fighting better fighters on a national and international level for the Olympics. Age is also just as relevant as an amateur and headgear is just a bigger target. Most fighters I have known prefer fighting without it.
Any fighter from past to present, started at 106 could duplicate Pac accomplishments?

One could argue his accomplishments have been as impressive as Pac's on the whole.
Pac's run is notable for the jump from 20s-30s to WW-JMW.[/QUOTE
Floyd got 6 loses at that age in the amateurs! Pac has 2 as a Pro.Comment

I do somewhat agree their will be increase of fighters that can achieve it, but still not all young fighters skipping amateurs could do it, case in point a lot of Asian barely pass by amateur stage and need to earn a living by boxing, majority of them ends up just accomplishing that becoming a pro but nowhere near Pac's accomplishment
IMHO only gifted/special fighters can do it, throw names like floyd or golden era fighters I could agree, but generalization i could not ...Comment
