    So Pacquiao chooses to dehydrate himself to 143, 144, 145 when the weight limit is 147?

      So he willingly dehydrated himself only to put weights in his pocket to make 106?

        Huge difference in 145 and 140 man....1 or 2 pounds that is not water weight makes a huge difference to an athlete

          Not sure how true this is because Rios said he only went to 147 to fight Pacquaio and he would have preffered the fight at 140.

            He does which is why he weighs 5 or more lbs more the day after a weigh-in. Fighters dehydrate all the time to make weight it's no secret.

              I'm sure he can make 140 ... he was OK to getting down to 143 for Marquez 3.

                    Manny turned pro younger,they even had a chart on here and several threads showing how at the same age they were the same weight.....Manny fans even made it to disprove the steroid theory
