    140 or 147? I guess 147 right? I would like to see PBF at 140 tho.

    The ideal fight weight ould be 140. Mayweather would have dominated 140 had he stayed there....Pacquiao has proven he can be a legit junior welterweight albeit a small one.

    It should be 140. For Pac-Hatton it should be even lower than that.

    Why can't Pacquiao just fight some ****er at their normal fight weight. If he wants Floyd he should take him at 147, if he wants Hatton it should be at 140 and if he wants to shut everybody up he should take Marquez at 135 or 130. **** this catch-weight ****

    Because he's way over his optimal weight and the other guy should also make some concessions if he wants to fight him, even if it was to be symbollic, say 138.

    I'm sorry, but thats a bit of a daft argument. If Pac wants to be a great he has to fight fighters at their weight, they shouldn't have to come down to him.

    Mayweather wouldn't fight Hatton at 140. He will not drop down for Pac.

    I like the fight at 140 lbs both figther would be on their best in that weight because both of them are not real welters, if not at 145lbs would be good too.

    After seeing what happened to DLH, do you guys really think PBF will somewhat drain himself to 140? Plus, the lower he goes, the better chance he gives Pacman IMO. I don't see PBF allowing this to happen.

    I think they both can perform better at 140 than at 147.
