Can Inoue tie or break Manny’s 8-division record?

[F l i c k e r]

He'll never make 140, let alone 147. Hell I don't even think he'll make 135.

But that's alright. No one is asking him to move up in weight and why would someone want him to?

He's the best in his own respective weight class.

Why not?

he’s about the same height as Gervionta isn’t he?

"Little" Manny was weighing 144lbs in the ring vs 139lbs. Erik Morales for their 3rd fight at 130lbs. 14lb. rehydration. Just 1 example. Pacquiao wasn't much smaller than a lot of his marquee opponents. He also outweighed Oscar in the ring but that was more on Oscar for allowing himself to be drained and not rehydrating properly.

I always found it ironic that the only fight that Manny and Marquez were the same weight was the fourth fight. The other three Manny hydrated about 10 pounds heavier.


but the fourth fight all we hear about is Marquez on the sauce

122 is likely his limit. Very small frame, no HGH

You have 22k posts and make this argument? Tyson is the same height as josh taylor.
So he should be capable to move up to heavyweight?

Yes. Because height determines just how much weight your body can realistically hold.

the taller you are, the more weight distributed across your frame.

that’s why basketball players like Kevin Durant look like malnourished twelve year olds but weigh 240lbs.

doesn’t mean you will be the best at that weight but theoretically, you can make that weight. Will his power, speed, or comfort carry up? I don’t know. But his body should be able to make the weight.

he's as big as pac and i think he can if his skill level will be as good as pac.

That's not how height works. There are different types of body type. Genaddy Golovkin and Mike Tyson are the exact same height. Sebastian Fundora and Anthony Joshua are the same height. You can't just say "he's this tall so he can realistically pack on X amount of muscle"

different body types though. Manny looks like his head alone is 118lbs

it’s not that difficult of a science.

the more area you have to work with, the more potential you have to put onto a body.

doesn’t mean any of them will perform well at those weights. Which is what I think the disconnect here is.

I’m not saying he will perform excellent there. But he can certainly weight as much as Rigondeaux did to fight Lomachenko.

Hell there’s people right now 5’5 walking down the street fat af weighing as much as a cruiser weight with a “small frame” compared to Naoya as well.

so it’s not impossible for Naoya to weigh more and fight. How well will he fight? I don’t know. But none of us know Naoya’s true dimensions only peering through a tv screen.

back in 2003 I bet nobody thought “that Pacman can be a welterweight, I just know it.”

[Pac=Duran]

No because he's not a weight bully or takes roids

Cope lol Floyd fans aren't taking the realisation of his 2nd rate legacy too well I see
