Pacquiao: "My ideal weight is 140, I can still make 135"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Why would a boxing fan not know?

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

Derp.

Pacquiao started at a younger age and dehydrated 15lbs or more to make the lighter weights Mayweather has never dehydrated more than a few lbs.

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

[Larry the boss]

pac-ruslan @ 140, thats a sexy fight, so pac can finally pic up the legit 140 title

Legit 140 title??? he was the lineal champ at 140...

I don't think he can make 135. I'm almost certain he can make 140 and still be fine. He was 145 at the weigh-in for Bradley. He usually comes in 143, 144, 145.

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.

[ADP02]

Manny can not make 135 or 140 and be 100 percent either man,both are around the same size and would have to dehydrate themselves to get that low

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

Facts not stories please.

**** ur right, i thought it was only for the IBO for a sec thanks for the correction

[Larry the boss]

8 divisions?

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

yet rios needed banned substances to make 147
