    Just watched Road to Dallas and it showed how Pac needs to eat more just to gain weight. Roach said Pac's fighting weight is definitely 140 and below..

    He is not a proper Welterweight, his speed and intelligence in the ring makes up for it.

        Is Floyd a real 154 Pounder no? But he boxed Oscars head off because he had the skills to do so. Same with Pac he has the speed and power to compete at WW effectively. Until he steps into a WW fight at 140 pounds then I'll agree with you. But he doesn't. He weighed 145 for Oscar and Cotto and Roach said he'll be 147 for Clottey.


        I think saying hes a 135/140 Pound guy at WW is a stretch. Hes arguably the hardest puncher at WW.
        Pacquiao was weighing 145 since 06'---barerra, morales, and the last meet with marquez. do ya research!

          how much do guys at 135 weigh?

          castillo and others use to come in weighing 150-155 at 135.

          147 is what 147 fighters weigh in at. most 147 fighters weight 155-160 and a few a lot more.

            I been following Pacs career longer then then some of his fanboys on this site have.

            Thats fight night weight. Im talking about what he stepped on the scales as.

            People on here are hyping Pac up saying that hes a light weight if thats the case then they must agree hes on ped's. Because no light weight can beat Cotto not even a shot one.

              Right but that is unofficial right? You don't know under what circumstances Pac unofficial wieght was. Because, we don't see the unofficial weigh-ins. So lets just focus on what is official for a second.

              When Pac fought Oscar in Dec 2008 at 147. Pac official weigh-in was 142.

              When Pac fought Hatton in May 2009 at 140. Pac official weigh-in was 138.

              When Pac fought Cotto in Nov 2009 at a catchweight of 145. Pac official weigh-in was 144.

                we don't know how much Floyd comes in at, his weight come fight time is never taken. He said he was 147 against Marquez. Either he's lieing or he just used the "not making weight" as a ploy to make Pacquiao scared.

                  Not necessary it could just be that Pac is just that good... No other lightweight IMO is as good as Pac... But, I think Pac will struggle to make 135.

                  We both agree that Floyd can beat Pavlik. I know I don't consider Floyd a MW. I consider him a WW. However, just cuz Floyd could go up to MW and beat Pavlik doesn't mean Floyd is on PED's. It just that he is that good.

                    Floyd will get KO'd if Pavlik lands flush. Thats the difference.

                    A 135 Pounder doesnt not beat Cotto not even that Cotto.
