      The greatest trick Manny has played on us is that he has convinced everyone that he is small. What we forget is that he made 112 back when he was 15 or 16 and was a malnourished street kid. He isn't that anymore he has grown into the body of a small welter ala Zab Judah or Miguel Cotto.

      I agree with Nasim here because and this not just for Manny but all fighters. I am sorry if you weigh in at whatever weight and by fight night you have put on 10-15+ pounds that to me means you really need to be fighting at a different weight IMO. Manny did do this he has weighed in for fights at 130 and came in to the ring 142+ and at 135 came into the ring I believe at 145 or 148 not sure which.

      While I not being a big Pacman fan has to give him his due. I have to admit it is hard for me to think of him as a great fighter when I see flaws that should be exposed. But something has to be said for a man with easily seen flaws but no one so far can do anything about those flaws so he has to get my respect in that aspect. The dude can fight!!!!

      If the PBF fight gets made willing to bet all of my points on PBF!!!!!
      pac has to eat 8000000000000000000000000000000 calories a day to even maintain 144 lbs....

      you can't just base greatness on technical skill.... which pac does have.... but you have to base it on accomplishments... that's where pretty gay floyd fails!!!

        Never said PBF didn't have flaws but the difference is many of the ATG greats flaws were not so obvious. The point I really was trying to make in agreeing with Nasim is that Manny starting at 106 should really be thrown out of the window. Its not like he started at 106 when he was 20 something yrs old. He was boy then and he is a man now. LOL at some of yall assuming I thought or felt that recognized ATG's didn't have flaws. Miss me with that one!!

        WTF happened to all my points? I was gone for a really long time come back damn near all of my points are missing!!!!!!!

            Last fight at 125 was in 04 then he stuck at 130 till 08. But here's the kicker, his fight night weight gradually went up to 142ish in that time, then it went up another few pounds since 08.

                You are 100% correct. I didn't say he wasn't a ATG. I just said its hard for me to think of him as one.

                      Naz said Cotto is small.

                      Miguel Cotto ain't no small welter. Pacquiao just TKO'd a large welter. All the big welters are pushing 160 or over on fight night. The small welters are 147 - mid 150's.
