PAC is still a lightweight if he wants too. If he stands to make $25mills with a fight at 135, Pac can still make it.Comment

exactly....his team only says they wont fight at 135 or 140 for two reasons...1. is because the Money is at 147 (May, Shane and even Toney) and 2. to stop all those guys from at the lower classes from calling him out.Comment

i agree, he is definitely impressive but its been almost 2 years since he fought at light weight and he has a welterweight belt now and plans to stay there to fight so i dont think hes too small to fight at 147. he would know best what weight is comfortable for him and im sure he doesnt consider himself a lightweight so why do so many other people? hes fighting clottey next week and after that maybe mayweather or mosley so id say hes a welterweight now.The most amazing thing about Pacquiao is that he is doing something only two fighters, that I know of, in the history of the sport has done which is fight two weight classes above his normal weight and dominate elite fighters. Most guys may grow into a weight class etc....but Pac is a 135lb dominating WW's. Only other time I can think of was when Robinson was a big WW but going up and dominated MW's and when Armstrong was at 126 and was going up and beating LW's and small WW's. I say this because I'm blown away with the thought that most on this site think Manny against Margarito, Clottey, and Mosley would be complete wipeouts. I don't but to believe that a guy who should be at 135 can go up and dominate huge WW's is mindblowing.Comment

The most amazing thing is how people say he beat great fighters and Floyd hasn't. They both beat the same guys so go figure. The most amazing thing about Pac is how he won fighter of the decade when I saw Morrales beat his ass and May didn't lose a fight so go figure. What is also amazing is how he weight drain fighters and still get credit for the wins. He ducked Mayweather because he didn't want to be blood tested. He ducked foreman because he is too tall. He ducked a third marquez fight. He ducked mosley because as roach would say (he is too good). He won't take blood test because Floyd is bigger than him lol. AmazingComment

pac can not make 135that is because he doesn't cut weight like 99% of the fighters in the sport. He has always came in 144-149 fight night even when he was at 130. I've been saying this for the longest and I'm glad roach confirmed it in Road to Dallas last night. He can easily make 135 especially if he got off of that high calorie diet that he is on.Comment
