    Really?

    because if I were Roach Id let Pacman fight whatever weight he was more comfortable at. Remember it was Pacman's call to fight Margarito at a much lower weight when Roach and Ariza wanted Pac to put on some lbs to better absorb Margo's power.

    Natural division usually means the division one can fight optimally which is usually one division below their natural fighting weight.

    He probably doesn't want to cut to make weight, or he just want to have all the advantages. Pacquiao is at a point in his career where he can throw his weight around.

    Ariza wanted Pacquiao bigger, not Roach.

    If Pac wants to stay in the game longer, he should really just stick to 140 for now.

    The highlighted is the truth.

    After two tries, Roach knows he needs every advantage if Pacquiao is to beat Marquez.

    Seriously, there is no way JMM has a chance. Everything is going against him. There's just too much stacked up against him at this point. He's older. 147 even 140 he won't be as fast. Pac is comfortable at 147, and he has improved as a fighter by leaps and bounds since they last fought at JMM's best weight.

    But you know the Pac haters won't have it either way. If Pac doesn't fight him, he's ducking. If Pac beats him, he's past his prime and was over weight.

    Would be a pointless fight. FMJ or bust.

    he actually weighs less than many JWW in his fights, and he looked strong against Hatton. he looks even stronger at a few lbs below the welter limit, which is where he will have fought for his last 4 fights after Mosley. That's probably his best weight, he's like a hybrid JWW/WW

    how many 140lbers today or in history do you think would've taken a fight against a much bigger fighter as relentless and durable as margo giving up 17lbs, and with 8oz gloves, and been able to dominate him like that?

    It doesn't matter.

    A really good little man almost always beats a not good big man.


    I predicted a total ****ing beat down by Pac. That's because Margarito isn't that good. I really dont give Pac much credit for that victory.
