and yes, race does sometimes play into wrist and calf size. My family share the body type of having a longer upper body with bigger calves and naturally big wrists, neck, etc. We don't need to work out our legs to have them this size. Manny's just more cut.

yes its all genetics, even most will tell you that blacks have smaller calf muscles.......

This is just the way it is, and we have shorter torsos than the average white, which makes muscles look very fitting on us....

Yall know the expression "tall, dark, and handsome"

Pac's measurements before the Oscar Larios fight, 5 years ago before Morales III

Pacquiao

weight: 129
reach:67"
chest:38"
chest expanded:41"
biceps:13"
forearms:12"
waist:28"
thigh:20"
calf:15"
neck:16"
wrist:8"
fist:10"

maybe we need his wrist measurements since childbirth too lol. I dont care either way if the guys is roiding, all i want is some hard evidence which i'm not getting from any of his accusers.

Since that source had to be quoted from a friggin' newspaper, I doubt there's any source of his measurements from earlier when he was practically unknown. It's safe to say he's had 8" wrists since a super featherweight.

edit: Read a few posts below. I found one from 2004.

Can somebody pull up a picture of Rosalio Pacquaio preferably where he was doing the thumbs up sign where his fists are visibly clear? I think it was from the Cotto fight. But from that picture, I saw how HUGE Pacquaio's Pops fists were. Maybe Rosalio Pacquaio must be on HGH too? Or maybe Manny's bone structure is just genetics?

Edit: Rosalio's wrists should be visible in the picture too. From there on, draw your own conclusions.

YOU ARE PROVING MY POINT. He (ERIK MORALES) fought Pacquiao for the third time in a non-championship title bout, on November 18, 2006.

Clottey fought eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao on March 13, 2010

SO IN 4 YEARS HE WENT FROM HAVING SMALLER WRISTS (than WLADS I MIGHT ADD), TO HAVING LARGER WRISTS (0.05" larger) THAN WLAD IN x4 YEARS??

Is this the argument you are making???


You know people are blind when they dont trust their own damn eyes lol...


I asked a simple question do you think in the moralesIII fight pacquiao's wrists were larger than WLADS??? SIMPLE QUESTION....

Now the reason I mentioned this is because it should be known that CERTAIN PEDS INCREASE BONE MINERALIZATION OR MINERAL DEPOSITS ON THE BONES..... MAKING THEM LARGER.


Now this can also cause GIGANTISM, WHICH IN TURN GIVES YOU A BIG AZZ HEAD, AND CAN EVEN MISHAPEN YORU BODY IF THE DOES ARE TOO HIGH....

I lift weights, and work out naturally at the gym 4 days a week, and I see and hear all kinds of **** from guys participating in body building contest, boxing etc.

PEDS, HGC THE **** IS RAMPANT AT MY LOCAL GYM, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IT WOULD BE IN A DOMINANT MINDED SPORT LIKE BOXING...

you're a bit slow
so i'll re-phrase
what im asking is, looking at a recent photo of pacquiao's wrists, do his wrists seem bigger than wlads?

[Seleção No. 13]

This wasn't hard to do. I just did a simple google search on news from 2001 to 2006 for any earlier measurements than that 2006 source.

Very interesting read!

[WarriorSoul]

iv'e said in the past he's not as small as people think. The question is this: is it natural or are those 8 inch wrists the product of HGH use???

and before anyone asks.....HGH increases bone mineralisation.

Another HGH expert. Atleast cite your wikipedia source next time.

you haters dont believe it even if the evidence is right infront of u. Pac has the same wrist years ago. same bone structures. and still arguing. accept the truth and you will stop hating Pac.

you all haters want to see how big his wrist was when he was a baby?

[BigStereotype]

That's a real cool read. I was a little skeptical while I was reading, but all of his results seem to point to something. I might keep going with some of this stuff, see if I can find some other "freaks." I'd really like to test Henry Armstrong, for example.
