Pacquiao is a natural Welterweight (yes or no) poll

[..WaRSpencE..]

He's short for the weight class and never weighs in at the limit. He's a natural jrWW these days but chooses to fight at WW.

So why not fight JMM at 140lbs?

[jasbar]

Pac is jr welter.

[bojangles1987]

No. 140 is his best weight, 135 probably his natural fighting weight.

[Mushashi]

Average sized JWW, small WW.

So why not fight JMM at 140lbs?

Ask him, not me. I don't know what goes on in the man's head. I assume Arum convinced him the $$ wasn't there (especially with JMM's demands).

the whole "this is yoru natural weight" sht is crap, it depends on how much aerobics you do as oppossed to anaerobic

not to mention people gain weight as they get older and that's why most fighters end up moving up classes

duh

[BG_Knocc_Out]

No healthy human being, let alone an ATHLETE, can drain himself down to 122 if he's a NATURAL 147 lb'er. Remember that 95% of boxers, amateur and professional, fight at or within their natural weight, unless they are older and their body begins to deteriorate. Hence why body-weight exercises are more commonly used over weights.

These threads are usually hilarious.

Big lightweight...

[johncods]

Since when is PEDS just used for weight gain??

Jeez people.

Strength.
Explosiveness.
Stamina.
Recovery

He always had those you twat. even when he was draining himself or even when he was still a malnourished teen, he always had those natural gifts.
