    Pacquiao PRIMED at what weight?

    Bantamweight? Featherweight? Welterweight?

    He was vicious at the lower weights, I think he primed at Lightweight (vs Diaz) and slightly deteriorated from there. It's just amazing to watch a past prime Manny steamroll everyone up to Light Middleweight.

    Pacquiao was primed at a number of weights, I have always held to the belief that his prime lasted from the first Barrera fight in 2003 to his complete and utter dismantling of Cotto and Clottey in 09/10. Those were his prime years, physically he was in the shape of his life, his speed of hand and foot was un-matched in the sport and his ferocity and aggressive boxing technique was almost unparalleled since the days of a young Tyson.

    His peak though, which is the highest point of an athlete's prime was the run of fights he had from JMM 2 to Cotto, he was almost untouchable and absolutely unbeatable, of course JMM gave him fits but JMM is Manny's Norton or Bowe.

      How are people even picking lightweight? Pac only had one fight at lightweight and it was against David Diaz

          His best performances were at Welter but he is too small for 147 physically, his skills make it so that he is successful at welter. Floyd could be very successful at 154 if he chose to, he's small at that weight but skills pay the bills.

            Featherweight. I'm shocked at how many people picked LW.

              Lightweight or Junior Welterweight were the peak combination of skill and talent. Dude was a monster. It really sucks that he didn't hang around at those weights, but the money was higher up.

                You are right because his prime depends on whether he is on meth or not

                  At light middle? he steamrolled no one. He did not even steamrolled a lightweight in Marquez, nor jr welters Rios and Bradley. You are just talking out off your a$$!!!
