We all do acknowledge that Pac is not physically a WW right?

I consider Packy in between LW and JWW. Remember, when Packy fought Marquez for the rematch Steward claimed Pacquiao's rehydration weight suggested he had 7lbs of natural more muscle than Marquez.

As he does come in on fight nights at the highest weights of about 148-149 the same as he and David Diaz did for their LW fights which is very typical of the division and overnight gains like this are just typical of boxing in general.
I am not really saying it means anything or should have any bearing on the results of the super fight in March. I just want to get an understanding of how many ppl acknowledge this and how many ppl think that some how he "got bigger" in his late 20's and over age 30.

Before retirment Floyd was coming into the ring at 146 so was he not a real WW? I remember seeing Floyd being outweighed by Baldy by 20 pounds in the ring when he was 146 and Baldy was 165 and around the same time Pac was fighting EM at SFW and coming into the ring at 147 pounds so what are you saying? You cant have it both ways on everything. If he's not a real WW then he was picking on little guys at SFW. If he's not a real WW then neither was Floyd. I also think he was 150 against Cotto

Nah. to me, if you fight at the weight, and beat top competition at that weight, you are that weight.

I would think he would have put this argument to rest by beating Cotto so dominantly. I guess not.
