Freddie Roach: "Pacquiao has to SKIP MEALS to make 140 lbs"

[BoxerDood]

Fixed it for you.

Hahaha good one. May the best man win though, I look forward to seeing it happen. Just hope your boy doesn't get dropped by a counter body shot again though lol

him an valero would have been beautiful, crazy fight.

Probably would have looked a lot like JMM-Pac 1, Valero coming out crazy and Marquez adjusting and beating the hell out of him more and more as the fight continues.

Everybody in this thread larry.

People like Coach Vebb, yesir, Burner, etc.

The usual suspects trying to extract a glimmer of hope that Pac really isn't as small as 'they' say.

But he is. And floyd ducked a small man.

Show me all the posts where I talked about Floyd. I made ONE post and i was JOKING with Burner. Apart from that, I never mentioned Floyd. And me saying that Manny isn't as small as he is made out to be has NOTHING to do with Floyd. Be real dude.

and you wonder where the steroid accusations come from. but when someone accuses him of that pacfans say he always weighed in the 140s on fight night when he was in lower divisions..so is he a really small guy knocking out really big guys or someone who is now in his right weight class where he can make weight comfortable?

he was the bigger guy compared to most fighters at around 126

he was ripped and taller than most. but at the same time he had to drain himself was green and a one handed fighter, so for what he did back then was still tremendous.

Here is the proof from above

You are a *****!!! Manny was never the bigger man, he is a midgett!

BOY is just scared!!

You got me confused with someone else, dude. And, I was joking with my homie. Its too early to be whining.

but in that case valero has more power than pac at 135, would JMM be able to get up from knock downs?

or would he be splattered and ko'd

Are you sure Valero has more power than Pacquiao at 135? I think it's even or in Pacquiao's favor.

I'm pretty sure Marquez would handle the early rush, and mess Valero up.

Juan Manuel MArquez vs Valero would have been a boxing fans wish.

Doesn't he have to eat 7000 calories just to stay at 147? Now all of a sudden he has to skip meals to make 140? Man.........................I ain't even gonna get into this ****.

[RockStar45]

my point is...if you've GROWN INTO THE WEIGHT...you dont have to be FORCE FED

Dude, you're not getting it. I'll try and say this one more time.

Pacquiao isn't eating 7,000 to gain weight, he's eating to maintain his weight. He walks around at about 150 to begin with.

Any athlete who trains 4 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week, is burning a ton of calories. If he didn't eat 7,000 calories a day, he would start to lose weight.

He's not the only athlete like this. You hear about football players who put down 2 porterhouses after a game, or how Kobe eats McDonalds after workouts. These guys don't have to watch their calories because of how much they train.

Which is why Roach said "if he wanted to make 140, he'd have to start skipping meals". He could make 140, and even 135. He'd just have to maintain his current workout regimen and start cutting down to maybe 4,000 calories a day.
