guys the pics don't really tell us anything. You need to consider how far away from the weigh in each pic was taken and the lighting. Lighting can accentuate and make even the fattest bastard look pleasing.
Hard to compare. Even with pics showing Manny's big ass head compared to another guy, in alot of them Manny is standing closer to the camera lense, so ofcourse he will look bigger.
All this aside most posters know i think moving from 130 to 147 in under two years, getting faster and stronger, and punching harder and taking a better punch is very difficult to imagine, especially when you add in team MP reaction to OST i think it's silly not to question him. Throw in Ariza's arrival to coincide with this meteoric rise and questions should be asked.
I don't take that whole Tim is on PEDs either. Just mocking some in here that claim when someone is ripped they're automatically on PEDs. You claim one may be on it, yet, dismiss the other one? I think they are both innocent until evidence can prove otherwise.

I believe it's a combination of loading him up with carbs, training with roach, and Arizas different methods of strengthening/cardio/speed exercises. You factor in that he no longer has to cut weight .. and the results speak for themselves.
.
Was he drained? Ever see Pac gassing out in fights against MAB, EM or JMM? Ever see him weakened?
If not, how was he drained exactly?
Does weighing more on fight night an advantage or disadvantage if you weighed the same on the weigh in? Does it make you slower or faster? More resistant to punches or not? See, how easy I did that too.

Nobody is claiming because Pacquiao is ripped that he's on PEDs.
Schaefer declaration
In a three-page declaration, Schaefer told the court that in late 2009 and early 2010, he and other GBP officers as well as Floyd Mayweather Jr. advisor, Al Hayman, engaged in negotiations for a proposed March 2010 bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
The parties were in agreement on all major financial terms and drug testing was the only issue left on the table. The Mayweathers had severe concerns about the possibility that Pacquiao had been using illegal PEDs in connection with his more recent fights.
These concerns arose from a number of factors, including the fact that it is highly unusual for a professional boxer to fight at heavier weights during his career and maintain the same level of power in his punches and ability to withstand hard punches from bigger opponents.
Yet, as Pacquiao has moved up in weight by 40 pounds (itself an extraordinary feat) during his career, he has become more powerful and more impervious to blows by his opponents.
For example, in prior fights against much smaller opponents such as Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera, Pacquiao was unable to score knock-outs and was at times stunned by their punches.
Yet, in his recent fights against physically bigger and much more powerful fighters – like Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto – Pacquiao has scored devastating knockouts (or technical knockouts). In addition, he has survived devastating punches by his opponents with no apparent effect.
Pacquiao’s head has grown
In addition, as shown by a comparison of Pacquiao’s pictures from his early career and today, it is clear that the size of his head has grown and his body has become far more muscular. As shown by March 25, 2010 "Judd Burstein Declaration," these changes are often associated with the use of PEDs.
In the light of these concerns, Schaefer said he consulted with the United States Anti-Doping Agency “to determine the most effective way to ensure that the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout would be a clean affair."
Based upon these conversations, the Mayweather camp insisted that both fighters agree to the same drug testing imposed upon the United States Olympic Team: i.e. random blood and urine testing up to at least 48 hours before the bout.
Although Mayweather readily agreed to these procedures, Pacquiao and his representatives refused. Pacquiao only agreed to three scheduled blood test: 1.) upon the signing of the contracts for the bout; 2.) 30 days before the bout; and 3.) immediately after the fight.
Schaefer said, “Pacquiao’s refusal to submit to effective drug testing only served to increase the Mayweather team’s concerns that Pacquiao has been using PEDs."
Schaefer said he was included in the lawsuit along with De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions when the “Amended Complaint alleges that, in September 2009, I told Philippine reporter Ronnie Nathanielsz – a reporter whom Pacquiao himself has accused of ‘fabricating horrible tales and putting words into the mouths of people he has not even talked to’ that I was 'sure Pacquiao was using PEDs.'"
He described such allegation as “absolute falsehood," saying, “if I had made the alleged statement to Nathanielsz, he (Nathanielsz) surely would have published it, which he did not."
