Does anyone think Pacquiao will perform better than he does at 130 come fight night?

I don't expect him to be any better or worse. Just expect a good fight.

he will be just as good,doesnt really carry the power up that he has at 130 though imo

I wish the May 2nd fight will be a fight and he gets tested. Not like the one-sided beatdowns in his last two.

If he doesn't carry the power up he isn't as effective as he is at 130. I think he is a much better fighter at 130.

yeah i think looking at him his build, his power, his frame id say tha right now he should be at LW.

imo he has buisness at LWW, ricky is just too big and too strong, pacman will bulk properly and carry his power with him but carrying your power with you doesn't mean that you hit like a LWW if you started out at flyweight.

pacmans power he is well suited to 130 and 135.

Going on the De La Hoya fight, he doesn't launch into his punches as much these days and I think that is where he loses a lot of his power. While his boxing skills seem to have improved that is only because he is fighting more cautiously at 140+ pounds. I just think the style he fought at when he was 130 pounder was much better suited to him than the style he fought against De La Hoya. If Pacquiao starts against Hatton like he did against Oscar, and his power isn't great, I think Hatton may walk through him and eventually he will be forced to fight and from then on we have an all out war that I see Hatton winning
