Where Is All The Muscle That Pacquiao Supposedly Packed On?

[Gorilla Dogs]

2006 | 129 | Morales III | Ring Weight: 144 | Rehydration: 15 lbs
2007 | 130 | Barrera II | Ring Weight: 144 | Rehydration: 14lbs
2008 | 129 | Marquez II | Ring Weight: 145 | Rehydration: 16lbs
2008 | 134˝ | Diaz | Ring Weight: 147 | Rehydration: 12˝ lbs
2008 | 142 | De La Hoya | Ring Weight: 148.5 | Rehydration: 6˝ lbs
2009 | 138 | Hatton | Ring Weight: 148 | Rehydration: 10 lbs
2009 | 144 | Cotto | Ring Weight: 149 | Rehydration: 5 lbs

144-149 = 5 lbs difference in three years.

The real difference is nowadays he isn't cutting so much weight. For the second Marquez fight, for example, Pacquiao would be cutting around 20 pounds (possibly more) from his walk-around weight. Less starvation appears to make Pacquiao a much better fighter. Is this abnormal? Personally, I don't think it's any cause for concern.

Yeah ppl act like he turned into some monster over night like "whoa he went from fighting at 130 to fighting at 147, that is almost 20lbs of pure muscle"!

When really he hasn't put on any significant weight at all and now is just not cutting weight the way most top level boxers do.

Manny is a roider plain and simple....he must be hiding something, why won't he take a test?

LOL, nah, not really...commonsense can't be used in this Pac weight thing so just go with the flow- darn roid head!!

SAMURAI was a boxing fan but he did lvoe Pac.

The man was well respected by all fans.

He really was a great poster.

He got the balance of being a nuthugger and a boxing fan just right.
