Floyd took 4 yrs to go from 130 to 145 .

Manny took 8 mths to go from 130 to 142 in lean body mass .

Its not about age , its about how fast the gain happened , show me another fighter below MW that can go up in weight 12 pds and be shredded and one standing 5-6 lol , not saying it cant be done but its extremely unusual in only 8mths , enough so that it adds to the notion that he MIGHT be on something ,,, all he had to do was take the test and all is good , but he ducked it for 3 yrs , thats very su****ious all on its own , the whole PEDS thing is not black and white , its a compounding amount of circumstantial questions that can only be answered by just taking the OST testing , it should never have been a problem from the start .

Gaining 12lbs of lean muscle in 8 months is down to exceptional genetics or some special vitamin blend that's not OTC

Reloaded can you stick up pics of pacman before and after the 8 months he was growing so we can see just how much he changed in 8 months ?

Manny carries the weight really well, Marquez who is the same size looked really flabby at 144, ditto Morales who looks flabby at 140. I think part of it is Asian genes (Asian's have very low body fat), and part of it is his legendary work ethic and conditioning.

You must have not read the article. Clearly, it points out that Manny's fight weight has been around 140-145lbs ever since he fought Morales for the first time at 130lbs weight division.

So it isn't Manny going up in weight... It's more to do with Manny not going down in weight to fight lightweights anymore.

keep in mind that when pacquiao was fighting at lower weights, he would rehydrate back up to a weight pretty close to where he's fighting now. so the muscle was always there, he just didnt have to drain himself to make weight anymore

floyd on the other hand, as never been one to rehydrate more than a couple pounds

Hah.

You mean Floyd can't walk on water?

[The Nature Boy]

Floyd going from the Chavez TKO @ 130 to the Hatton TKO @ 147 was 10 fights and six years apart.

Manny going from the Marquez SD @ 130 to the De La Hoya TKO @ 147 was 2 fights less than 9 months apart.

Keep in mind that 3 out of the last 5 fights at 130 for Pacquiao were dec, which included a natural 122 pound fighter. Morales was weight drained and shot so he quit, and Solis actually rated out Gamboa's power as greater compared to Manny. When he made the jump, he stopped four straight larger guys with better than average chins in the game. That's why some are arguably su****ious of his rapid success above 130, because the way it happen doesn't seem as natural as you would perceive it to be.
