    Will we see another Pacquaio fighter soon? (a great above weight fighter)

    What I enjoyed a lot from Pacquaio is that he fights way above his weight and does it with such brutality even being undersized he gets KD's in almost every fight, a few KO/TKO's (he should have more but bad ref/corners didn't help) and has hurts/cuts these bigger fighters like a natural 147'er.

    The question is will we ever see another boxer who dares to be great and does what he has done at that level who eats up to the weight, undersized but still hurts/destroys other high level fighters.

    Who can be that boxer? Loma? Inoue? No one?

    When pac man was on his tear through De La Hoya and Cotto etc.. it’s a one in a lifetime kind of fighter I think. At his best similar to Roy Jones pac looked almost unbeatable.

      Inoue, Santa Cruz, Loma and Canelo all have potentials... But I doubt that they will stay on the divisions north of their natural weight for more than 2 consecutive fights like GrandPac is doing since 2008...

        I guess you dont understand Oscar was killed by the weight and Pac was heavier than him.

        Fans dont ever look under the bonnet they just see the wheels spin.

        Not destroying LWs and being KOed by LWs, then destroy bigger guys have got to have you ask why, its simple WEIGHT.

          He is a natural 147lber, he weighs 150+ in the ring.

            I think Inoue will be very interesting at above natural weight divisions. He has that kind of insane power that even if it does decrease moving up weight divisions it will still be devastating like Pac.

              lol natural. He's 5'4.

              Doesn't he eat up to the weight as well and said he could go to 135 easily?

                    Depends on the drug testing protocol. I don't think Pac was clean, sorry to say.
