    It would be a bad decision for Pacquiao to go up and fight Freitas at 135 (should Freitas get by Raheem).

    Freitas is too big at 135 and wouldn't be too bothered by Pacquiaos punch.

      I think it's safe to assume that Pacquiao will not fight @ 135 within the next 3 years or so(or if at all). He can still make weight @ featherweight.

      The Freitas @130 a couple of years ago would've KTFO Pacquiao @130. He can outbox or outbrawl Pacquiao, and there's just nothing Pac can do with the size differential.

      However, if these two would fight @130 right now, I wouldn't count out Pacquiao just yet. Freitas has to dehydrate himself to the max. In fact, I heard reports that Freitas is even having a hard time making 135.

            He'd better not look past Raheem, but if he does pull off the win, I don't give him much chance against Pacquiao.

              Freitas should not be overlooking Raheem, and if he does Raheem, i'll go with Pacquiao to stop Freitas midway through the fight.

                I definitley think that pacquiao should be considered the underdog against popo especially if he moves up to 135. Popo is the bigger man, i hope pacquiao takes a tune up at 135 before going and fighting popo if they do get the fight done. But a win over popo would be all the more satisfying, i just dont know how pacquiao would handle moving up to an 8th weight division.

                    After Pac manhandled Terible who hasn't been dropped in his 51 fights prior to the 2nd Pac fight, you just gotta have in mind that Pac KOes Freitas. Pac by TKO IMO if they fight.

                      I agree totally.
                      Popo is just too big and has that crunching one punch power. See the Barrios fight. His herky-jerky fight style would also give Manny fits.

                      Pac doesn't have that same one punch that Freitas carries. And Pac isn't exactly the hardest to hit either.
