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

[Maidana vs Rios]

Not a typical WW.

If Pac followed the exact same training regimen and training diet as a true WW (Mosley, Clottey, Cotto, Berto, etc.) does for a WW fight, how much would he have weighed yesterday?

As far as the real subject and agenda of this thread, Mayweather weightwise is somewhere in between where Pac is and where the true WW's are.

Fighting size wise,

True Welter (Cotto, Clottey, Berto, Shane, etc) > Small welter (Floyd) > JWW fighting at welter (Pac)

“He was having trouble making 130 and after the Marquez fight (on March 15, 2008), he wanted to go to lightweight (and its 135-pound limit,” Arum said. “But he’s really a 140-pounder now. He fought Hatton at 138. His most comfortable weight now is 140, but if there were some kind of a huge fight at 135, he could make that if he had to.

well he fights at WW right now so he is a WW, williams could prob make 147 but he fights at 154 or 160 that doesnt mean he is not a JM or middleweight. Pac could definitely make weight at JW but so could judah a couple years back when he was fighting only at WW and people considered him a WW. .

I expect this post to be ignored.

Exactly, is Williams a MW just because he has has a few fights there?

Can you imagine someone like Pavlik or Abraham (before he moved up) fighting at WW?



Floyd cannot make 140 anymore, thus he is a WW. Pac can easily, so he's not.

Look at this dude. Pac is a WW.

Your new name should be Captain Obvious.

Look at this dude. Pac is a WW.

then why is he the IBO LWW champ as well as the WBO welterweight champ

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Look at this dude. Pac is a WW.

so how come in 3 fights at welterweight he cant make 147?

142, 144, & 145.

He cant even make 140 for a fight at 140. He was 138. Just because you're cut dont make you proper for a weight.

I mean look at the picture. Look at how big this guy is. Look at his arms. Look at how thick his upperbody is.

look how much bigger clottey will look tonight, and you'll see why pac is not a natural WW

If that picture makes Pac a WW, what does this one make Timothy Bradley? A MW?
