    According to the Ring, Koncz asked for Manny not to have the 140 title stripped until after the Clottey fight.

    They speculate that if Valero fights Bradley, it may be possible Pacman takes on the winner...

    I know Team Pac said he won't fight at 140 anymore, but idk, maybe a change of heart?

    he is a natural 140 fighter now, to make 147 he has to eat 5 times a day to keep weight....UNLESS roach is planning on adding muscle to pacqaio then 140 is a real possibility, al tho i dont want that to happen until after he beats mayweather for the sake of him keeping continuity with his body

    Sounds to me like there trying to pull leverage so when the Mayweather talks start up again. WONT WORK. TAKE THE TEST !!!!!!!! Pac is gonna mess around and get out boxed by someone less than him and lose the biggest payday of hs life.

    Pac could fight at 140 easy and 135 if he was willing to struggle a little to make weight.

    I think him vs Valero will happen eventually

    Smart, he should stick at 140 unless the Mayweather fight is reoffered.

    The guy has been walking around at 150 since the Cotto fight. He't not a 'natural' junior welter. This is the story they've sold to make his wins appear more impressive. Pacquiao is not a small guy by any means. Look at how he fills out his frame at 147. Trevor Ariza himself said anyone who thinks Manny is a 'small guy' is ignorant.

    considering that almost all Junior welters walk around near 150 or even more, I'd say that makes Pac a natural junior welter or maybe even smaller. I'm sure alot of the current lightweights walk around near 150.

    That's conjecture, but lets assume its accurate. That means Floyd Mayweather is also a 'natural' junior welterweight, whereas he walks around at 150 or 1 or 2 pounds north of it.
