Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says He Could Still Get Down To 135 Without Issues

[D4thincarnation]

His ring weights have been under 150lbs.

And that, doesn't cut at all to make 147lbs

Most boxer can put on 10lbs easy from weigh in.

Quite a few can do 15lbs.

Then you have the one that can do 20-30lbs

Of course Pacquiao can make 135lbs.

At the beginning of the week if he had to make 140 for the weigh in he could and still come in at what his ring weight will be tomorrow.

he can still make 135 i believe that, but what for??? pac is the a-side, why would he go down in weight even if he can. he knows his body more than anyone on here.

I'm calling bull****. Manny has been saying this forever. It's just him trying to make his accomplishments seem even better. (little welter that can make 135 beating up bigger guys)

That must be It. He Is trying to make his accomplishments seem better at the tail end of his career, after having one of the best resumes In boxing, along with a HOF career.

Makes sense.

what benefit does he get for saying he can male 135?? he's obviously the smaller guy in almost all of his fights, even when he fights guys from a lower weight moving up, they still end up being heavier than manny on fight night. if he says he can 135, then who are you to say otherwise. i think he knows his body more than you.

I bet he wouldn't have a speed advantage at 135. He's used to fighting welters. All of the sudden he would be the slower fighter.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Him and roach have been saying this for years. Why the *** dont he then. Pacquiao is a midget by normal standards and he can easily make that weight if he wanted to.

Linares would murder this dude

[hrt3333]

If that were true it would be pretty ****ing ****** to fight above 140

[pasawayako]

Pac can easily make 135lbs. pac is just so great that he can easily dominate 147lbs.

Talk is easy and it makes him be smaller than what he really is.

He forced a 144 CW on Algieri to test if he could make 140.

Fast forward to now and its I can make 135, its just a case of talk is cheap, the facts suggest he cant make 135 but we will never know anyway so its just talk.

The size difference is what everyone is talking about. Manny is mature. He’s a much bigger person than he used to be. He’s not that skinny, 112-pound kid anymore. He weighs 152 pounds right now [a few weeks before the fight]. His body fat is six percent. He’s coming down to 147, not going up. He’s coming down, just like Oscar is. The biggest thing is, when someone goes up a weight class and fights and then comes back down to his original weight class, he usually has bad results. You see it in history. It happened to Roy Jones [who went from light heavyweight to heavyweight and back down]. Oscar will suffer to make 147; and I think he’ll be weaker as a result. I don’t think the bigger guy will be the stronger guy on Dec. 6. He’ll be taller, maybe a little heavier, but not stronger. Manny will be the bigger puncher, the faster puncher, the busier guy. Activity is my biggest thing. And Manny is better prepared for that. We fought four times this year. Oscar hasn’t fought four times in four years. I think speed and activity wins this fight, not size.

cause garcia is so a huge threat right
lmaoo

Mikey Garcia is most definitely a threat at 135.
