Pacquiao is a Blown-Up Featherweight, Says Santiago

[baracuda]

He's a natural Jnr Welterweight now. He didn't look any smaller than Hatton in the ring, and was just as physically strong as Hatton. He hadn't lost any of his speed or power or timing through putting on weight.

He isn't a natural Welterweight, but he is a natural Jnr Welterweight now. It's only one weight class, and he has other advantages to compensate for the weight disadvantage.

naturally and now dont go hand in hand imo,especially when talking about a 30 year old boxer ..... you only thibk that coz he's been uniquely successful thru his weight climb,dont you think?

Half an inch and one weight division. Not even a proper weight division (as in one of the original eight), a Jnr weight division. Not even a Jnr weight division, because it's at catchweight.

how is weight is cotto gonna have on pac on fight night?

[ny123]

you people cant have it both ways isnt pac the fav and isnt there already talk about a pac mayweather fight like cotto is a tune up. if cotto wins i hope he gets credit from these same people overlooking him and not excuses that he was too big. i personally wouldnt be very impressed with the win because i expect it but for you haters down playing his ability in the ring i dont want to hear any excuses

[bunnybounce]

exactly, pac is a blown out flyweight, yet he carry his power as he gained weight.for those who criticized pac, you'll must be ******ed. Santiago knows nothing about his own thread. LMAO

a natural welterweight is someone who walks around at a weight near 147, guys who walk around 160-170 should be fighting at middleweights already...

You know that is not the way it works so stop it. Almost all fighters make a considerable cut off of what they walk around at to make weight. The weight class you belong in is the one you can fight at effectively while making the lowest weight safely possible.

Yeah i do agree with it..

[bojangles1987]

I guess he doesn't understand what a blown up fighter is. Blown up fighters don't retain effectiveness going up in weight. They get slower, weaker, all that stuff.

Someone is basing something on a certain rival of Pacquiao's recent attempt at welterweight incorrectly.

[Pacworld]

Blown-Up!!!

yes, he's a blown-up fighter and he will blown cotto head away... hehehe How about that trainer Santiago...

[Kevin Jesus]

Damn so Cotto is gonna get KTFO by a blown up Featherweight?
