What would you say is Manny Pacquiao's NATURAL weight class?

[Roadblock]

most of 130-135 lbs boxer are bigger than him.

Bigger in Boxing is weight, Mark Breland over 6ft WW Mike Tyson was around 5'10" about the height of Floyd,,,,,

Just so we know what you're on about define bigger in your comment ?

147. People still talking about him eating, that's to fuel his workouts. He hasn't made 140 in 12 years.

Stop fooling yourself the money is a 147.

Same as May

Below WW

It is obvious that what makes Pacquiao even more amazing is he has been fighting at a weight class where he is undersized.

Well at 5 ft 5.5 youd have to say super featherweight. He eats like a king as he can afford to. But not necessarily natural to eat as much as you like and he started at 112lbs or something like that

Dont get carried away there have been lots of small WWs that were great fighters, Manny is not this little skinny kid, he is a life trained athlete that is a fully grown man which makes him a compact powerhouse which is a great attribute, you boys want to play the Manny is handicapped idea, well he isn't he also has advantages,

[whollisboxing]

Mannys over 150 before he starts training, I think he was 153 shortly before the JMM fight.

The key as you said is being effective, not just making the scales, Im sure the top 135 guys would go to 140 to fight Manny, its Manny that won't go to them, even the Ryan Garcia thing was going to be at 147, not 140.

There is a narrative that Manny is a midget because of where he comes from but all that's irrelevant to where he is now, Roach has said many times how Manny has grown into a WW, with those last few pounds before 140, around 142 Manny would start feeling the weight cut, while the 135 guy packing on 5lbs would be as strong as bull, this has happened when he brought JMM up to him when he brought Algieri Rios Bradley etc all up from 140 they were strong he couldn't stop them, when bigger better guys were CWs brought down he destroyed them, its all about the weight and how you make it.

That’s an excellent point. People always assume that the guy moving down has an advantage over the guy moving up and that’s not always the case

he comes in below 147 every single time. he's at 147 for the money and could still make 140 lbs. if the money was good he could still make 135.
