"I could make either weight, 135 or 140, easily," Pacquiao said. "It would be easy for me. I am at 147 because that's where the action is in terms of the opponent, but it wouldn't be hard."
"Manny hasn't really carried his power up with him to 147, but he is a very big puncher at 140," Roach said. "It's a much better weight for him, to be honest with you. He would hurt guys at 140."
....what do you guys think?
How about he fight WWs or go back down , he is always bringing these guys up that have never fought at WW , " 147 because thats where the action is " he says , but he dont fight them he brings up JWWs , jeazus he has been a WW snow job .
You hero Floyd has fought many of those JWW that barely fought at WW but you are OK with that because he is your hero!
I highly doubt he can make 140, and I know he can't make 135.
LOL the guy walks around at 148.... You think he can't shed water weight to make 140?
All pac has to do is calm down on the lumpia and adobo for a few weeks and he is set.
Definitely wouldn't be easy for him to make 140.
He'd make it but he'd struggle.
The myth he needs 5 million calories and 25 meals a day to make 144 lbs is pretty much obvious at this point it's not the case.
That calorie stuff was started by Alex Ariza.
Pac can make 140 easy, he won't even have to cut muscle weight, just drain water the day of the weigh ins early morning, I've sweat off 15 pounds of water for wrestling easy.
sweating off 8 pounds is nothing Pac only weighs 148 so cutting to 140 is easy cake.
135 would be a real struggle though.
He hasn't been there in a long time now, and has started weighing in at 147 for his welterweight fights. It would surprise me if he could make 140 with no issues.

pacquiao could easily make 140 lbs.

as we already know that the 147 lbs champion is a scared coward, so pac going to 140 or 135 is the best option for him.
He's clearly a scared coward because Floyd walked away from two offers made by Pac right? Or was it Pac that walked away from two offers made by Floyd?
Is there no one else at 147 that Pac can fight? I guess not being that he's fighting Algeri (Avirtual unknown and weakest 140 champ) at 147. I guess Thurman, Porter, Brook, Khan, Guerrero, Alexander were not good options. Hell even Broner would have been a better option.
Pac is still the real lineal champ at 140 and the pretender Danny Garcia is a disgrace to the sport
Theres no doubt that Pacquiao beats Garcia so I'd rather see Prov fight Garcia

So let me get this straight, the cold war supposedly has ended, which now opens up the whole GBP stable of WW's and Pac wants to move down to 140 or 135???
I'm sure somehow Pac fans will say the whole WW division was ducking him so he had to move down.
im hoping either Thurman or Garcia sign with Top Rank and land a big fight with Pacquiao for his swan song next year. possibly a 2-3 fight deal.
theres no need for him to drop to 140
Thurman and Garcia could then fight Bradley or Marquez
Who can he fight?
Pacquiao v Herrera, Crawford, Postol, Provodnikov, Alvarado, Vargas, Khabib are the non-Haymon guys.
Some good fights there, but nothing huge. I guess since he doesn't have a title he could force a mandatory for the WBC, WBA or IBF.
I highly doubt Pac can come anywhere close to 135 and be effective..and besideswho would he fight at 135? Mikey or crawford? Nah
Pac would be so weak at 135, he already has a low body fat, and he gets grouchy when he cuts weight. But if Arum tells him its the right thing to do Pacman will obey his master.

If no Mayweather, after Algieri, Manny plans to go 140 and 135. | BoxingScene Community
