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

[infamous larryx]

mayweather couldn't even make 44'.

Pac could still make 35'.

Mayweather moved up in weight a long time ago.

Pac only moved up in weight in 2008 (35)

pac is at least 2 divisions naturally smaller than fraud.

Live with it.

whos talking about floyd jack??

Plus I'm pretty sure Alexander will replace him anyways.

Fixed it for you.

Most boxers don't even eat to make weight. Aside from a carrot and juice.

Pac could still make 35 if he wanted to. He just doesn't have to cuz' he's a God now and God's don't need to skip no damn meals if they don't want to.

He could make 135...I truly believe this, but if did that then he will hurt himself going back up to face Floyd if that is truly his next fight. So it boils down to which would you rather see, him drop down and have to build himself back to WW or stay at WW and face the better fighters there. From a business perspective it makes more sense to stay at WW because that is where the money is at. Hell even Marquez is thinking of jumping up for a money fight (Amir Khan) as it just doesn't exist at 135.

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.

Yeah, JMM is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Too old imo to go up in weight, but lack of any big money guys at 35.

yep the usual suspect in their wolf pack strategy once again hahhaha

He's 5ft 6in and 2 1/2 years ago was fighting in the Jr lightweight division. I think it's common ***ing sense that hes a small guy.

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?

[NesNY]

I know Pacquiao can easily make 140, and rehydrate 8-10lbs.

If there were millions to be made, and superstars down at 135 and 140, he'd be there. But there aren't. JMM is old. 140's are a bunch of *******. Besides, there isn't a challenge for manny down there.

the true challenge is Floyd. That's it.

[Blubba]

him an valero would have been beautiful, crazy fight.

Plus I'm pretty sure the Bradley-Alexander winner will replace him anyways.

It would be nice but it's not gonna happen. There are only 3 ways to lose the ring belt: 1. Lose it in the ring 2. Ring Champ retires 3. The Ring champ gives up his belt.
