      Morales would be the same as he was at 130 ability wise only he would be physically more comfortable. Pac moving from 130 to 135... A trip to McDonalds (or Jolly Bee) he's there. Same training regiment just don't cut as much weight.

      However, Morales pushing his body to make 130 is a disadvantage. To experiment on what I mean, force ur body to do something u don't want to do, than see what happens. (Drink a gallon of Milk as fast as u can... Try that)
      But why would he move up another weight division to give your opponent more of an advantage than your self.

      Your forgetting that pacquiao just moved up that weight division and fought morales first after fighting marquez instead of fighting an easy opponent to test out the new weight division he picked morales and now because morales is finding it difficult to move down weight pacman should of moved up again? please old he wasn't even old, its not all down to pacquiao if morales didn't wanna move down in weight cause he knew it would weaken him then he shouldn't of signed the contract.

          Not really Pac is a great fighter and he will go down as a great fighter but this Magarito fight does nothing to enhance his legacy imo.

              This will be only his 2nd catchweight fight, so its not gonna hurt. If he has 5 catchweight fights, then it will.

                  How significant is the Torrecampo fight?

                  DLH-Pac fight is to suit both fighters. People dont want DLH asking a midget at 130 to move all the way to 154, aren';t they???

                  I dont have problems with the catchweight with Marg and Cotto. What is a little upsetting though is the alphabet titles involved. But then again Pac has 4 lineal titles to his credit..
