Manny Pacquiao - Weights Breakdown [Tale of the Tapes]

[MayMosPeaHop]

i have never thought manny was on anything but you never know but all this manny is small talk is kinda bull**** when he has been the bigger man in the majority of his fights yet he feels to small to fight certain fighters at the full weight limit,it's bull****

co-signed..........

[p4p-champ]

lmao...i like how "the smaller" man seems to be the bigger man in most of his fights.

smoke'n'mirros...wait till he has the cojones to step into the ring at the weigh limit with a true boxer.

From those pics it looks like he used steroids to make his arms shorter. They went from 25" to 23". wtf is that all about?

[bojangles1987]

Pacquiao's best weight is 140. Maybe 135.

Thanks for all the green K.

*****s use Flogic, they ain't smart enough to understand this.

Agree They complain about the catch weight thing but if you will back in the days the official weight was the fightnight weight . The day of the fight. On Nov 13 against Margarito, Pacquiao is really fighting a super middleweight because Margarito will weigh more than 160 lbs on fightnight.

[PacquiaoATG]

For a fighter starting at 106lbs, a former flyweight champion, now fighting welterweights, it makes it all the more impressive the fact that the 24 hour rehydration rule means that on fight night, pac (who is not even a welterweight) is fighting junior middleweights & middleweights.

How much can we really hold it against him the 145lb catchweight & proposed 150lb catchweight vs cotto & margarito when the 24 rehydration stunt in today's era is in effect?

How do we analyze the 24 re hydration rule in historical context?

Old time fighters never had to deal with it. But in regards to pacquiao, who in 3 welterweight fights cant even make 147, how can we really criticize him when on fight night he's not even facing welterweights?

When henry armstrong fought welterweights, he fought welterweights on fight night. when pacquiao fights welterweights, he fights junior middleweights & middleweights on fight nights.

The 24 hr rehydration rule in today's era must be taken into consideration. It completely negates all the criticisms of catchweight fights.

The catchweight criticism is a inaccurate, unsubstantiated, superficial disadvantage/advantage because of the 24 rehydration rule.

UPDATED POST IN REGARDS TO PWILL VS MARTINEZ CATCH WEIGHT REQUEST:9-15-10

anybody who criticizes catchweight fights as a way to discredit a fighter are ignorant, pretentious, & ****** hacks pretending to be physicians & medical researchers with vast amounts of medical data to support the ill effects of catchweights.

In fact, almost all evidence point to catchweights or "weight drained" excuse as being flaccid placebos.

winner of martinez vs paul williams gets full credit. catchweight has absolutley ZERO effect on the outcome of the fight just like in pac vs cotto, sweet pea vs chavez, oscar vs hopkins, & almost all the other catchweight fights the cry baby b*tches want to talk about.

24 rehydration completely removes any advantages or disadvantages of catchweights.

the reason why fighters ask for them is the false sense of security or edge they THINK THEY GET from it.

catcweights = placebos.


Pernell Whitaker had a catch weight vs Chavez Sr., how come he totally dominated Chavez Sr.? How come his performance wasnt affected?

Bernard Hopkins had a catch weight vs Oscar, how come Hopkins performance wasnt affected?

You wanna know why?

because catch weight = placebos. They are nothing more than a mental advantage than a physical advantage.

Guns dont kill people, people kill people. Size & weight dont win fights, fighters win fights.

And this guy had a point. This is Valid.

And this guy had a point. This is Valid.

to me this is the exact reason why climbing through the weights today is not as impressive as yesteryear! the 24 hour rehydration takes away all significance. for example miguel cotto reguarly gets in the ring close to 160, cotto is a middleweight that has to weigh 147 for approximately 3secs! this is the same for most boxers nowadays. people were going nuts over the fact that bernard hopkins moved to lightheavy totally disregarding the fact that bernard is a natural lightheavy!!

i have actually been thinking about this for a while and on average the size of boxers have increased by 2 divisions because of the 24hour rehydration rule. boxers that should be fighting at welter are fighting at lightweight (sometimes even supefeather).

[brick wall]

so the human growth hormone is not effective on pac? can somebody explain this? where are the ***** peds experts when you need them

[OpaiSoma]

This thread kills the myth about him being some kind of small man slaying giants. The foundation of his career was based on being a bigger man bullying smaller fighters.

Your a fawking idiot, for god sakes use your brain,i cant stand ****** people.

You cant see with the exception of Oscar, Diaz, Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey are obviously bigger and weigh heavier than him.

He has been around 140-147 during the weight night, not the weigh in.
