    He was the next logical challenger. They'd run out of decent natural welters, so the best you could do is these 140ers moving up. Bradley was the king of 140.

    To test Pac against a young hungry up and coming fighter. Who brought a different variable then most of the previous fighters he was facing since he moved up to WW.

    I don't see anything defensive. He agreed with JMM's CW request, and made the weight no problem, unlike the other time JMM signed for a CW.

    You realize this is just a theory of yours, not a fact, right? saying "cuts from 160+" doesn't really mean anything unless you are specific from where over 160 he cust from. Surely you agree cutting from 161-165 isn't the same as cutting from 166-169 or so. Assuming you are consistent with those extra pounds to lose.

    Ashley72 owned this thread. Still give credit to these PAC fans though for not jumping ship. Way more respect to you few than the ones who disappeared lol

    good point. if these weight restrictions didnt matter (to manny) he wouldnt be asking for them. roach and manny feel it benefits him, so its an advantage to pacquiao.

    *******s will make up any reason to defend him tho so i shouldnt have even posted the thread lol

    They were all drained, they should have all moved up in weight earlier then they did.

    They were all drained? Are you serious? Blanket statements have no palce in a boxing discussion.

    But that's boxing. They'd move up to fight bigger guys, who are draining themselves.
