      Good post I been saying this before he didnt add muscle at all, he just hydrated back to his walk around weight that he would go up to when he fought at featherweight, he would balloon to 145, when he fought at welter he was like 148 max, and 150 with shoes, he just stopped cutting weight and fought at his regular walk around weight. If he were on roids with his fast twitch muscles and genetics he would be super huge, he would be a responder and pack on too much bulky muscle looking like Ja Rule just coming out of the pen.

        Well I'm not too surprised when it comes to Barrera, Morales and Marquez. De La Hoya was drained. I was a little surprised with Bradley. There's no denying that Manny went through a gauntlet of bigger men though. Manny's accomplishments moving up in weight are historic.

        Also, there was a thread similar to this regarding Floyd. What's with this damn forum? They've both had legendary careers. Leave it alone. It's been well past the point of bring ridiculous from both sides.

            Come on people, look at Boxrec if you don't like the way HBO meassured.

            His reach is the sorter of all. If anything, the HBO made him a favour to make him seem to have more reach than what he actually has.

                Actually funny people bring up Manny's reach being different later in life, kind of proves the unofficial weights can be manipulated to create an illusion. You guys really need to stick to one story.

                  They really did a great job marketing Pacquiao. That's all gone now though after his loss. Pac-Bradley III is going to be a disaster.

                    He has extendible arms by the looks of it.

                    I wouldn't put too much stock into any HBO stats; reach, weights..any of them.

                      It depends on if you count until the fingers or only until the knuckles.
