    What weight class was Manny Pacquaio's best and his prime

    I'd have to go with Manny 126....he had the ferocity, speed, power and boundless stamina....He would have been a hard match up for anyone here...he didn't stay there long but looking at his career in its entirety...id have to say featherweight

    I've always thought 140 was his best weight. Obviously he only fought there once, but he was/is pretty small at 147. His speed and power would've been great at 140 for a long time

        Hard to say. I think physically and mentally 135-140 but he only fought twice.

        In some ways it's too bad the big names were all at 147, he could have had an incredible run at 135 and 140, closer to his natural weight class.

          I think people got carried away with how he starched Hatton....he didn't have the punch out put or one punch power at 135 and up that he had at the lower weights

              135/140 i'd say.


              He was a tiny welterweight.

                135 would have been his best weight, but there was no one to fight there. 140 might have been close too. Incidentally, Floyd's best weight would have been 140 too.
