Manny Pacquiao IS NOT a JWW or a LW. He is a WELTERWEIGHT. Dead that myth.

when Floyd was fighting at 130, he'd get in the ring at 132...Pac would get in the ring at 140+

when Floyd was fighting at 140 he'd be in the ring at 141....Pac would get in the ring at 144+

Pacquiao ain't the smaller man folks, its just smoke and mirrors and for the ****** ones, by the time they realize it they are on the canvas....cough cough Hatton

He can make 140 easily.. he had a full meal and still weighed 145 FFS. Which WW would eat a full meal at the day of the weigh in?? And he's gonna be no higher than 149 tom night.

ummm anyone who's a natural at the weight they are fighting in can pull that off. it's just nowadays a lot of fighters choose to stay in weight classes where they think they can dominate more easily. sad really...

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ariza said he can easily, he should know more than you and I right? He is the mans trainer. But, even I disagree. Like I said he might be drained at the weigh-in but he will rehydrate to his fighting weight of 148 where he would still be effective.

And, if you think Floyd can make 140 easy then I guess he is not a true WW either. But, what I do know is that he didn't even make 144... And, he said he ran the traidmill earlier that day...

My only thing is this when JMM moved up he put on straight fat. Pac has packed on solid 5-6 pounds of muscle and will be even bigger and stronger tomorrow. This boy is a WW. This weigh in convinced me. He might be short but he damn sure aint small.

[The Great Shark]

The only reason he's fighting at 147lbs. is because he knows there are fighters in that weight class that are easily exploitable. The junior welterweight class is stacked but it's obvious now that Pacquiao's using his speed at this weight class as his ACE, since no one else other than Mayweather Jr. can match his speed.

[DeanoFlash]

Not to mention the calories he consumes everyday to keep the weight up.

let me repeat. Michael Phelps intakes 13000 calories a day, over 2x what Pacquiao does and he's not doing it to keep weight lol. He's doing it to fuel his workout regimen. If Pacquiao didn't have that caloric intake, his workout regimen would burn his body out. Team Pac would have you believe its just so he can make 147 but thats completely unfounded and Ariza would no better than anyone

[DE100]

Can a WW push and bully him around the ring? Not that we have seen so Far. The man is a WW no matter what his size is. His strength matches theres. Who was the one on their back foot and getting pushed around in Pac vs Cotto? Exactly his strength is right there with the rest.

[rao007]

Stop with your shenanigans. This dude without being on something can make 140 EASILY.

Michael Phelps is like 6'4.

Pac is a midget who needs to eat 7000 calories and still can't make 47'.

Come on now.

Exactly...His fans say he was draining himself then when I say hes a WW they say he can make 135.

Its not a diss to Pacquiao there is nothing wrong about being a legit WW. Its just time they accept and stop parading him as this sympathetic itty bitty guy who shouldnt be fighting at this weight. Thats what annoys me. If hes small at 147 they have a class for him its called JWW. Until he steps on the scales for a 147 Pound fight at 140 hes a WW.

Like I said we going to have to agree to disagree. I know Pac is a hard worker in the Gym. Dude can eat anytime and whatever he wants. Dude IMO is not a true WW just good enough to compete.
