    How much heavier does he way on fight night now compared to when he beat Marquez at Super Featherweight?

    i'm a boxing fan and not "a pac fan" but this is actually a very good arguement you make here. So to answer you're question: yes I'm with you. If he wants to keep fighting after Floyd or if Floyd doesn't happen I agree that I'd rather see him fighting at 140 lbs. Plus as good as Pac is at the 147 (I think only Mayweather could beat him there) he could be much more dominant at a lower weight then he is at the higher weights. However well he can mentally take the shots at 147 lbs, one thing you can't deny (pac fan or detractor) is that they certainly do more damage on him at 147 then they did at the smaller weights. The marvalous thing about PAcquiao is his ability to take punishment well. I mean the guy has basically made a career out of knock-down-drang'em out wars with other heavy hitters. None of these wars seem to take a toll on him. But that doesn't mean that in 20 years he won't show the effects. At the end of the day he is physically much smaller then the guys he's fighting and it would be much better for his health to campaign at lower weights.

    147 for the Floyd fight only.. I want to see the best physical version of Pac and that seems to be 140 at this time... At 135 and 140 Pac gave two of the best boxing performances we've seen in a very long time. Total domination, speed, power, movement , combination punching, and boxing.. So yea of course I would love to see him at these weights again.. While there are bigger fights at 147 and even 154, the abilities and advantages he would hold at 140 would be amazing..

    I do.

    And he was trying to find a fight at Light Welterweight so he can keep his Ring title but now that he won a sat in the Filipino Congress I'm not sure he will devote as much time to Boxing and might just for straight for Mayweather.
