Pac fans pls translate :D
Coming in at 144 for a 150lbs contracted fight.
at this point Manny Pacquiao is a natural Junior welterweight beating up welterweights.
i don't believe he's walkin around 150+ during his SFW days
he's not outweighing his opponent by 10 or 15 lbs. during that time
if i remember correctly, that only happened 3rd fight with erik
were talkin bout pre-ariza pacquiao who usually rehydrates normally without the supplements for gaining mass
He's saying that it's tough to gain weight this time around.
He has to eat way more this time so he can gain weight. Even his own team makes fun of him when they see him eat ALOT throught the day so he can maintain weight of 150lbs. If he doesn't force himself to eat alot, he'll easily weight down to 140lbs or even less, this he feels because he's still a natural lightweight, and he knows that he can still fight at lightweight if he chooses to.
But for Margarito, he has to eat ALOT so Marg doesn't have too much advantage in weight, but also keeping his speed is what the challenge will be, and he needs his speed for he's the smaller man.
He did mention going to light middleweight, but I can't figure out the context when he said that. hmm.
Anyways, that's all I got lol
Very hard to believe. As someone already pointed out, Pacquiao would rehydrate to 144 lbs++ at SFW. This could only mean that he's been walking around 150-155 lbs since early in his career. So how does he need to eat a lot to maintain the weight? I know Pacquiao loses a lot of calories in training, but regardless; doesn't add up. Especially 7000 calories.
No but he did say that had he fought Mayweather, the knock out that he laid on Hatton would look like a love punch compared to the broken jaw, neck wrenching punch he would send Mayweather to the hospital with. :boxing:
If he had only agreed to floyd's stips as floyd agreed to his then we would have seen this fight in March.
Mad_Vein---did Pacquiao also say the PEDs Ariza is giving him or how sorry for the countless whores he cheats on his wife.

Very true, most of the 140lbs fighter are bigger than pac because most of them rehydrate 10lbs+ at fight night and pac only weight around 148-149lbs at fight night.

It's actually too bad we don't get to see him fight guys his size right now. Look at what he did to Hatton. He made Hatton walk backwards when they clinched/tied up. He could overpower guys and have a speed advantage.....
he also says he's too small compared to other welters
that he needs his speed in order to compensate for his lack of height
at the same time, he needs to maintain his body mass so that size difference wouldn't be that big
he also says that he believes he can still fight at lightweight
he also says that since fighting at 147, he always had a constant argument with Ariza because of the latter would still give him supplements & shakes in order to maintain his body mass & strength
he's saying that no matter how much he eats for the day, he'll burn the same amount because of his aggressive training
then ends up weighing back at 140 or less
pacquiao is pushing himself to the limit
i bet you come weigh-in on his fight, he'll weigh no more than 147
and thats probably after eating 3 full-packed meal
Many people are talking about losing a couple of pounds.
How about fighting in your walk around weight?????
Hatton will be fighting at Heavyweight
Cotto at Supermiddleweight
Marg at LightHeavyweight
The article is about Pacquiao having to eat a lot of food in order to keep weight. Its a lot harder compared to losing a couple of pounds.
