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

[ironmt]

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.

One week before the third Bradley fight Pacquiao weighed 141lbs and 10 days before the Algieri fight he weighed 140. Why can't he make 135?

Pac will be like a hot knife on a melted butter against garcia.

Ive told you why and provided the word of his trainer, if Manny can make it go fight Lomo or Garcia at 135, not going to happen its just talk.

Making the scale is one thing being in top form at the weight is another, go see Chavez Jnr he made weight also as did every other weight drained fighter in history all make weight.

Weights days before a weighin don't mean anything if you don't know the deal at the time, did he just do a workout where he loses 4-6 pound or did he just get out of bed , it all matters and is relevant.
