Manny Paquiao vs Floyd Mayweather at 147lb

[J.R.]

I know he won't do it, but if Floyd does indeed take this fight his best strategy would be to make the fight at 140 so that he can try and match both his foot and hand speed up with Manny as best as possible. Floyd just isn't as mobile and his combinations don't flow as good at 147 as they did at lower weights.

nah a fight at 147 is an automatic loss for pac... pac weighed in at 142 to fight dlh... that was a one time deal i think

Then forget the fight. If you are better than the fighter, then beat him in the ring; not on the scales.

Pac weighed in at 147 by fight time, didn't he?
And didn't they say Pac weighed himself heavier in his hotel room right after the weigh-in?

Floyd weighs around 149 for his fight time weight.


So you admit that Pac won the fight on the scales against Oscar...which is why the fight was made at 147.

8CN – Were you surprised by how little Oscar weighed come fight time?




Freddie Roach – The thing is, he shrunk up his stomach so small that he couldn't get any food in him. I knew that at that low weigh,t after 3 rounds that he would be done. We just looked at that, and I told Manny that we will get him in the later rounds.

PBF would win. Can't say Pac's performance against old DLH is indicative of what he'd do wit PBF, especially at WW. I'm pretty sure Pac's 1 and done at 147. This will be at 140 if it happens.

well if you're gonna take that attitude then the fight ain't happening... floyd can make 140 easy... he forced hatton to move up to 147 to get an advantage himself... floyd isn't beyond playing the scales game either.

Floyd asked for the Hatton fight TWICE at 140; and TWICE he was denied...so Floyd took his bag and moved up to 147 to get what he always wanted: GOLD/Oscar. Oscar made Floyd come to him and Floyd went to 154.

Floyd was CHAMP at 147 so no point in moving back down after Hatton denied him.

You also have to remember, and we've gone over this many times, Floyd shows up by fight time for his Welter fights at around 149. Where do fighters that fight at 140 show up by fight time at? Around 149; including Hatton.
Just because it is said to be a "140" fight how is that possible if fighters aren't weighing in at 140 by fight time. So, there is no point in risking health to make fighters make weight. Floyd shows up around 149 and Pac has been showing up around 147 for his fights by fight-time = Fair fight...no need to weight-drain these fighters.


How do you know Floyd can make 140 Easy? He's already in his 30's; hasn't fought there in some time; and is a year removed from fighting.
Your not Floyd and neither am I...but I do know this: both fighters are showing up at around 147 for fight-time...so that's the weight. If you want, you can put it in the contract they can't go above 149.



I would like to hear your reply.
