Pacquiao’s Choice Should Be a Real "Welterweight" Fight

[syphillis]

Pac doesn't have anything to prove to anyone after what he has accomplished. He shouldn't be fighting at WW.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

they all tried to pushed pacman to the ww limit of 147lbs because they want pacman to get beaten soon. they thought pac has no power at 147. did they forget delahoya?

pac was stronger and more agile in that weight.

pac will clean up this division starting with cotto on november!

Let's get it on whatever weight pac agree upon...

140 or 147, it doesn't matter because everytime PAC fights, its a must see

i agree to most of the points raised in the article.
i am a pacfan and i don't want manny to lose, much less gets seriously hurt.
for his legacy to be an ATG, he must not insist on too low a catchweight.
cotto weighed in at 146 against clottey.
if cotto agrees wholeheartedly at 145 or 144, without arm twisting, then do it.
and if manny decides to meet cotto all the way at 147, much kudos to him!!
then all the pachaters will see a different light on manny's real bravery.

freddie is so quite for some time now.......i wonder why

I fully understand the point and i agree with the article. My point is we might be making too big a deal of this when we look at the big picture of pac's career. You also have to realize safety standards & research in general today are so far ahead of when the past greats fought that health has become a much much greater concern. I think he's already bitten of more than anyone expected to chew, wanting to level the playing field isn't a big deal, especially if cotto agrees and its not extreme.

u still dont get it! Or u just dont care to.

Difference is Marquez has never fought above 140, no one knows if he is good above that weight. Pacquiao has already proven himself at 147 and 140.

Blah Blah Blah! Its the same shyt. He proved himself against a zombie. we all agree on that. jmm would have did the same to dlh.

It doesn`t matter, both fighters will be at least 147 lbs. by fight night. Not unlike the olden days, when they weigh fighters at fight night. Funny thing is, Cotto could still exceed 154 by fight night, and that would be super-welterweight, so damn with that crap of fighting a `real welterweight`.

Fight at 147lbs and make history

[jetgeomcx]

pacquiaio is not a natural WW you idiot, a natural WW weighs in at 147 and on fight night comes in at 160, give or take a pound. if manny is so great he should fight cotto or mosley at their limit where they are at their best

still you will bash pacman if he beats the true WW's.
and you will say manny should fyt cory spinks and pavlik if manny is so great.
