Would u be surprised if Pac weighed 150-152 on fight night?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

My question is, when does the weight start to hurt him? I mean most fighters keep going up in weight and then they reach a point when it makes them worse (DLH, Trinidad, Duran, etc.)

I think if Pac doesn't want to find out he should stick to 140 and his catchweights.

who you got in this one bud?

[WhoreUs]

looks like hes weighing around 150 as we speak. he bulked up quite good.

possible though doubtful.

he didn't gain much weight his last few fights at 130 , 135 , 147 and 140.

all within the 145 range or so.

Pacquiao. That's why I made the bet with you. Remember I bet on Cotto winning, double for KO?

My fight predictions are always wrong, so I bet against my instincts now.

totally forgot about that...sigging it now

I personally will be surprised with that weight. Roach will want Pac to be mobile and to stay out of the Pocket/clinches with Cotto as much as he possibly can. Having Pac weigh 150 + on fight night will only slow him down and give Miguel more of a chance to cut the distance down on Manny - I expect Pac to come in at 148 tops.

I think we made the bet like the week the fight was announced. I forgot about it myself until a few days ago.

You have good odds though. My bet record is like 1-7 or something like that. The one win was the Cotto controversial decision over Clottey, and the guy bitched about giving me money. I wasn't about to let him off the hook though because he beat me on two other bets.

Yes, he usually weigh 148-149 come fight night

[Pullcounter]

Cotto has never refused to be weighted, first of all, and he will be around 155.

he hasn't weighed in the last couple fights

he will be around 160+ lbs.

Yes, he usually weigh 148-149 come fight night

pac might come in at 144-143 lbs on the official weigh in... he might be 150 lbs.

Here is an article from before the Pac-Diaz fight:

To be frank, not even Pacquiao's trainer, the venerable Freddie Roach, claims to know. He can believe, as he does, that he has the better fighter, but to know for sure the full effect of such a climb in weight is something else entirely.

"Manny was having a lot of trouble making 130 lately," Roach said. "He was starving himself to do it and that made him a little weak. Then he'd overeat after the weigh-in to compensate. He gained 15, 16 pounds after the weigh-in before the last (Juan Manuel) Marquez fight. That kind of extra weight makes you sluggish.

"With each fight he was feeling more and more like he'd been starving himself so he'd put more weight back on after the weigh in. That became more and more of a problem. We need to avoid that this time, but all I can do is talk to him about what to do after the weigh-in.
