    A bit long but a scientific approach in dissecting Manny Pacquiao. From Bad Left Hook..

    It's Not about PEDs, really!

    Marquez has always looked in top form and at his best except when he fought Floyd as a welterweight. Even at lightweight many think he is already pushing his limit, well, according to my calculations his fighting weight should be 131lbs, just around the weight where he gave Pacquiao hell in their second fight and defeated Barrera. Pacquiao is ½ inch shorter than Marquez yet he was able to move up in weight while Marquez could not. Many people have used this argument to suggest something improper on the part of Pacquiao; what they miss is that Pacquiao's wrists are 8in while Marquez's are only 6.5in, giving Pacquiao an overall much bigger skeleton. This highlights why a great fighter like Pacquiao can easily adapt to a much higher weight without losing any speed, power, or chin, while another great fighter like Marquez can't, event though both have very similar heights.

    Eating Balut regularly makes your bone thicker thats why pac had 8in wrists, which is higher than the wrist average for heavyweights..... plus when you add PED you become BULLET PROOF. lol

    Floyd will demand X-Ray for bone structure and make sure that pac is in welterweight bone structure limit and not in heavyweight bone structure.

    Pac has the wrist of above average heavyweight fighter and when you lace an 8 ounce gloves...
    No wonder pac can rearranged his opponents face.

    the most interesting for me was the bit about his fists being the same size as heavy weights like mike tyson, where's the rest of the article?!

    You do know that Marquez fights at 145 or so at fight night. Manny on the other hand seems to be 148. Marquez can easily but on those 3 or so pounds and go to to toe with him.

    This ^^ (Altho the 3 pounds does't matter much here, as Pac outweighed Marquez 4 pounds in their rematch)

    Good read. A valid argument. Something the Mayweather's and the *****s will never understand.
