Do you think Pac could dance with the 135 pounders?

[mr. bojangles]

yes,he will fight larios and morales.then move to 135lbs. and fight freitas,castillo & corales.then move to 140 fight cotto & hatton.i think he can fight up to 140.if hatton can fight up 147.why not pacquiao who is taller,quicker and more power than hatton.

He doesn't have the skills to stay with the top guys.....

di kaya pulbusin ni corrales si pac? masyadong matangkad bro! malaki manu-neutralize sa power ni pac.( translation: don't you think corrales will beat pac to pulp? he's too tall and may neutralize a lot of pac's power!)

judging from the corrales and castillo fight..chico wants to fight at close range and it will be dangerous for him if he fights the same way he fought castillo against pacquiao, he did not use his advantage at reach and height against castillo and im sure he will not use it gainst pacquiao..

Bro Pacman is a great fighter but Corrales would destroy him, and the 135lbs version of Castillo would destory him also. Pacman would be a good puncher at 135lbs but there are some excellent punchers there. There is no way that Pac has more power than Castillo, Freitas or Corrales at 135lbs.

The only champion that I can see Pacman having a competitive bout with is Juan Diaz but I would put my money on Juan if they fought. Its just being honest not hating. And if your really truthfull with yourselves you would also realize that Pacman has won many of his fights on physical talent and heart with the absence or limitedness of those advantages at 135lbs I dont think he will be very succesful.

lets just see.. but for now its just mere conceptions,

Of course he could.... hell Pacquiao could hang with the heavies if he wanted to he just chooses not to embarrass fighters who embarrass themselves.

maybe in a few years pac is an animal

Pacquiao tipped the official scales at 130 only once: against Hector Velasquez.

for Jr. Light fights:

vs. Morales (first meeting)= 129.5
vs. Morales (second meeting) = 128.5

for Featherweight fights:

vs. Fahsan = 125
vs. JMM = 125
vs. Marco =125
vs. Yeshmangbetov= 126

for Jr. Feather fights:

vs. Lucero =120
vs. Rakkiatgym= 122
vs. Jorge Elizier Julio- 120
vs. Agapito Sanchez = 120.5
vs. Ledwaba = 121.5

dance card at Jr. Light: which should take him into 2008

Morales
Barrera
Juarez
Barrios (if the Barrera fight warrants)
winner of Mosqueda-Valero
Cassius Baloyi (or whoever may be holding the IBF belt by then)
JMM at either 130 or 126

Edit: Chico and Castillo--particularly, the latter-- should be at the higher divisions by then, making meetings with Pac improbable. Freitas and Casa may still be at Lightweight and Chavez may be back in 2008.

I think he'll definitely end his career at 135lbs since it was already thought about through Roach and he most likely talked it with Manny. I don't think he should go there anytime soon, though he also can't wait until he's older. He's got the speed and power while he's younger and mostly the speed which will leave him as he gets older, and then he'll be relying solely on power at 135lbs which is yet tested. I don't see him as the big puncher he was at 126lbs in the 130lbs division so at 135lbs he will be even more weakened. Going up against the heavy proven hitters at 135lbs could be devastating to him and his chin. He should stay at 130lbs and clean house before he moves up though even that task along is daunting. Barrios, Juarez, and possibly Freitas if he comes down again, or Edwin Valero gets a shot. Those are all very hard hitting punchers that Manny has yet to face.
