    the lineal champ at 140 against the lineal champ at 135 would have been nice......

      he can make 130 for sure , it's just a matter of pacquiao not wanting to drain himself anymore.
      If Pac made 130 he'd be drained as ****

      Floyd can still make 135 but he'd be like Oscar against Pac

      Mosley could probably make 140 but like you said its better to fight at weights too big for you than too small for you

        Nope Pacquiao could make 130, and he wouldn't be too affected by it. However, at 135 he would have 0 problems.

          not really.

          people can sweat out about 10% of their bodyweight relatively efficiently.

          it's just a question of wanting/needing to go that low.

          guys like floyd and pac are talented enough to compete against bigger men.

          the majority of boxers are not that lucky so they kill themselves to keep their weight down.

          i wouldn't be surprised if floyd can still make 135 if he really had to.

              140 gives him a chance to do it but i think it'll be very unlikely with all the money fights that await him against non 140 guys...
              Are you kidding? Pacquiao dominated the catchweight division.

                    a lot of guys weigh around 145 or so after rehydrating at 135. in fact almost all of them do.

                    castillo use to come in fight night at 155 when he was at lightweight.

                      mmm, so that explains why Floyd had trouble with Castillo, like Oscar Castillo outweighed Floyd by 15-20 lbs

                      Maybe the key to beating Floyd is to outweigh him by a massive amount

                      but seriously rehydrating 20lbs at LW is insane didn't Clottey rehydrate to 170 or something
