BTW what happened to him, I remember he was in a car wreck and in bad shape.

Easy to forget that Pac was 105 in his pro debut. 105-130 (up to possibly 140) is a pretty good bit for a smaller guy

Actually 106 according to boxrec, assume the fight was at 105.

I heard the same on Castro.He must be a s!!! driver,I remember he had a mass crash right before His all time come from behind TKO win over J.D Jackson many years back.He fought Jirov for Cruiser strap,Red hair and All lol,And actually did very well.Think he attempted a come back???
Pac is all fire and brim stone ,Hellacious attacker who still seems as fast as a Flyweight...good point Ouma.

I read that 'Locomotora' was house cared for a few months after the accident. It was bad as he actually had to go under the knife.
The guys fought and won since then so that means hes recovered well.

So did, ahem, Bobby Gunn. Oh, and didnt Tommy Hearns win some kind of title at cruiserweight too?

Also Carlos De Leon, mentioned in this thread, actually ended his career at HW. I remember his very final fight - knocked out by Brian Nielsen in Denmark. Sad, sad, sad.

Pineda gave Tszyu a tough fight too. Knocked him down in the first round with a bloody hard punch. This was the Tszyu of the mid 90's of course - the Tszyu who thought that defence was the thing around his house. He gradually wore him down and stopped him in the 11th I think.

Still, Pineda could definitely fight some. And he had that Tommy Hearns build where he puts on the wieght easily.

He was an ancient, flabby, disinterested punchbag from the highlights I saw

Don't you guys remember how Pineda looked v Tito?His shoulders were MASSIVE,he made Tito look small.He certainly had the frame of a middleweight at least!

Yeah I remember, that was the "tune up" for the De la Hoya fight. Hugo really towered over Trinidad. Nothing like a good left hook to the stomach to cut a man down to size. ;D
