Why did Floyd need an illegal IV against a past prime Featherweight?

When did 147 become featherweight? :think

 

Hello? USADA just suspended BJ Penn for admitting to IV use.

Why they don't give him a TUE?

 

Age 1 week Pacquiao 7 pounds.
Age 1 week Mayweather 8 pounds.

They are the same size!

 

No were going by age? Point is Pac fought at welterweight for nearly 7 years. He's regarded as a welterweight, albeit a small one.

 

Personally, I consider Pac a lightweight because he's the same size as Duran, Pryor, Marquez, and Chavez. But with today's day before weigh ins you can generally drop two weight classes from where you'd have fought 30 years ago; so I guess featherweight is fair. Of course, I consider Floyd a natural welterweight, but with day before weigh ins he could have fought his whole career at lightweight the way that Pac could stay down at feather.

 

And what will Floyd be regarded as? And Duran was not regarded as a Lightweight, actually lightweight was his best weight, but as many fighters do, they outgrow their weight class.:deal

 

Pac is a Featherweight, but Floyd is a natural Welterweight? I've heard it all now!!!:rofl:rofl

 

Yeah ok. And Mike Tyson is a natural Cruiserweight too, huh?

 

Let it go...Pacquiao tried and fail. Is done. Time to move on.
