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

    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.

      [QUOTE=mushahadeen;11865934]Floyd was 106 at the same age.

      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.

        So yes, if more fighters start skipping the amateurs and fight in their teens. Sure they can.
        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 ...
