pacquiao could probably fight at LW if the money was right
most of the experts i hear speculating about his natural fighting weight think he's somewhere between a LW and jr WW
about 138 lbs
he's eating like a horse to get to WW
he's not a natural WW by a long shot
he can hang with a WW, but he's not a natural WW
and i dont think pacquiao was ever close to being ready to go in the most recent marquez fight

Originally posted by vacon04 View PostNo, Pacquiao wasn't seriously hurt and ready to go, but he was stunned a few times and actually respected Marquez's power. Besides Marquez, nobody was able to stun Pacquiao in a long time.
we can agree to disagree but i think he was most hurt in the margarito fight and i dont think marquez shots did much other than "stun" him as you say
and they did earn his respect, but that was mostly because they're set up by a great counterpuncher
dont get me wrong. marquez is a monster and a great offensive fighter, and he's one of favorites of all time.
i just dont think his punches are as hard as a natural jr WW come WW in tim bradley.
especially at 147

marquez also weighed 142 and pacquiao only a pound heavier at 143
and i think marquez had 2 lbs on him on fight night
at 148 on fight night really isnt a WW
especially when you're eating like a truck to get there.
