Just as, I'm sure, Filipino boxing fans would not have known about Floyd Mayweather until after 2001, why would American fans know much about an Pacific-Asian star until he went Stateside?
This may come as a surprise to many Americans, especially Floyd Mayweather, but he world is bigger than America. The USA encompasses of the global population.Last edited by The Nature Boy; 09-29-2011, 05:54 AM.

Originally posted by The Nature Boy View PostVeeraphol Sahaprom was firmly planted in the Bantamweight division back then, and I personally always wondered why Pacquiao never challenged him? This question has managed to be avoided several times, so maybe you could answer it. Why did Pacquiao go from Flyweight straight to Super Bantamweight , when the Deathmask fight was right there to be made?

Originally posted by JOM'S View Postboth of PAC's earlier KO lost can be attributed to being weight drained as in both fights he also lost to the scales, when PAC jumped from Fly to superbatam its was best thing to do as it was at that time closer to his fighting weight...Last edited by The Nature Boy; 09-29-2011, 06:19 AM.

Veeraphol Sahaprom is a nobody. He stayed in Asia because he has fought mainly bums and novices throughout his career. You probably didn't bother to look at before posting this attempt at discrediting Pacquiao.
After his 2nd loss at 112lbs, Pacquiao moved up to 122lbs because the weight draining was making him too weak.

To answer Mayweather's question:
Pacquiao was becoming a 2 weight world champion 1996 to 2001. Mayweather was becoming a 1 weight world champion. They both won their first world title in the same year. Pacquiao was a world champion 2 years younger than Mayweather.
Where was Pacquiao? 2 weight divisions below you.

I saw Mayweather fight when he was 19. Had you ever heard of Pacquiao when he was 19? Be honest.

Pac didn't reach P4P status until 2002-2003. That's what Mayweather meant by the comment.
