Why does Pacquiao want to be a full time welterweight?

[rao007]

Trouble? Are you blind. Bradley won that fight with ease. He was green and still won. The fight should have been a UD not an SD. That is why I was against Bradley wanting to fight Khan in the UK before

Unimpressive win regardless. Witter hardly pressured Bradley with any meaningful attack, and based on his style, Bradley has a tendency to brawl--which plays right into Pacquiao's style.

Pacquiao looked slower and sloppier to me against Cotto at 147 than he has in the past. His speed is not what it was at 140 and below.

Agree with this observation. Pac's stamina was also noticeably worse. He couldn't sustain his attacks in the latter rounds, and gave up the first half of each round to Cotto.

Thats exactly the fight i suspect Pacquiao and Bob Arum to make.
Wouldnt surprise me one ****ing bit.

Pathetic and a perfect way to spit the sport of boxing in its face.

dramatic much?

He out grew 135 and 140 In a SHORT timespan. Thats fishy IMO.

Wish we couldve seen him fight Bradley at 140.

Yeah having to eat six meals a day to make 145 is soooooo fishy.

The money is at welter it's that simple.

Disagree completely, I thought he looked awesome, so freaking what, when Cotto started running he got sick of chasing him. Normal for any fighter.

The more you weigh the less speed and stamina you will have how does this in anyway raise eyebrows? It's comon ***ing knowledge!

Plus he knocked out Cotto in the 11th round after sustaining his heavier attack early. If anything it shows that Manny has sustained his stamina even with the weight gain.

Oh the irony.

I think it's mostly due to the big fights around 147+. They're considering more a fight against a 154 pounder to become a champ in yet another division, rather than going down again.

I do find it silly they've said this though, because it's bound to fuel speculation about drugs. But surely if there were truth in it they wouldn't be so ****** to make such comments, know what I mean?

I also think Roach and Manny really play guys with weight in hindsight, because they can. My favourite 2 guys in boxing right now, but it's not so cool, but hey anyone would do it in there positon. He fought ODL at 147, then to 140 to face Hatton both fine. Then all of a sudden he can't take on a smaller than ODL..Cotto at 147. From that to not saying not fighting at 140 again only 147 does look fishy. They don't help themselves.

Oh the irony.

Don't cop out by trying to change the subject. The thread isn't about spelling and the only reason you would do such a thing is because you have no way to defend your opinion or argue against mine.

Stopping acting like you have sand in your vagina and argue against my point or shut the *** up and admit you have no comeback.

At 147 he and his team can use the argument that he's the smaller man and justify catchweight's and Pacquiao's draining of fighters.
