    I think he could still make 135 and be even more dangerous (if he's not drained). But if he does feel drained at 135 than 140 seems to fit him just fine too

    He's probably like Hopkins. Hopkins ran so much and stayed in such good shape that he didn't gain a bunch of muscle and kept himself small for 160. But now as you can obviously see he packed on some muscle and 175 and is just as effective if not more so.

    130 or 135! It's amazing he's as solid and as good as he is at 140! PAC never had trouble making weight. At least not from what Roach has stated. They moved up to find more challenges.

    as of RIGHT NOW

    140 - he can demolish anybody in the division
    147 - he should be carefully matched to avoid super-sized WW like PW, other then that he matches up well against anybody and beats most.

    In a year or two he might move to WW but unlikely he will ever fight any but the most mediocre JMW.

    He's an all time great so he can go up and down in weight and be still very good.
    He's a LW or a SLW.

    Probally 147 he came in a few pounds heavier on fight night but i think his power peaks there. His power is better then it ever was on fight night when he come in at 147. I think he could thump with the welters.

    He at his strongest coming in at 147 no loss of punch out put and power is better then ever. You considered blown up if you have the power of a lightweight and your fighting welterweights. Manny may have been deprived because he never hit this hard Ever!

    it might sound racist, but its not meant too... but I have many asian friends and it seems to me that many of them reach their physical primes much later than most people... I mean you get guys like Lebron James who are Physical Monsters at the age of 17, but Pac looked 12 years old when he was 22 .

    One of my Filipino friends was always kind of a scrawny guy, then around the age of 28 he just started bulking up and gaining a lot of muscle ... and he wasn't really working out much more than he did in the past.

    I think many Asians develop into top physical form later than many other races..

    Just an observation .

    I think Cotto would look gigantic compared to Pac if they would ever meet in the ring. Manny's fight weight on fight-night is like 147 and isn't Cotto's something like 155?
