Pacquiao needs to step it up

[match]

From flyweight to lightweight champion, wasn't Pacquiao starting fighting at 17 or 16 or something like that?

What about from super bantamweight to junior middleweight champion like Mayweather did?

What someone did as an amateur mean absolutely nothing as far as his pro legacy. If that were the case, we'd be including what all these guy's did when they started boxing at the age of 7 or 8 as most of them did. Floyd began his pro career as a jr. lightweight. Pac began his pro career at a weight that was less than most bulemic supermodels. I'm not crapping on Floyd b/c IMO he's the greatest fighter I've seen in my era, but Pac rose up from the middle earth hobbit weight classes and has cemented himself as a legitamate lightweight champion. That's pretty impressive IMO.

No pacquiao's been fighting that young since his pro debut. He was 17 or something when he was fighting as a pro if I remember right.

I hear what you're saying but he was a pro then. Floyd turned pro as a jr. lightweight. All in all, they both moved up roughly 30 lbs or so, it just opens my eyes when a guy does that whose original weight was damn near only double didgets.
