Be honest with yourselves. Is it normal for a 112lb fighter win a title at 154lbs?

    of course its not normal. if it were then pac wouldnt be p4p #1. he would just be one of many who were doing it. if youre going to smear some **** on manny, at least do it with more intelligent questions.

    Floyd was 16 and weighed 106lbs, and at the level he was boxing at amateur...it's a good comparison to Pacquiao starting out at 106lbs as a Professional.

    the best thing is, the PED thing is starting to move away....as all make believe stories do over time.....and once Manny hangs them up, in about a decade or so, people are going to be saying that 'this guy was so good that at a time many people couldnt believe it was possible without some kind of steroid.....he punched 7 times in a second, and would leave u perplexed as to how he magically appeared on the other side of the ring right after his combo :O'

    I boxed at 115 and at 119 and never couldve go above 135.. as soon as i hit 29 and 30 i started gaining weight and im 170 right now and i work out a lot everyday and unless i diet really hard i cant get below 155... the body grows naturally when your metabolism slows down.. the thing with pacquiao is that he got lucky in that he got to fight people at all those weights that werent good.. is not like he's beating a prime chapo rosario or camacho at 135 or chavez at 140 trinidad or leonard at 147 and a hagler at 154.. he's winning titles and is still impressive but dont over hype it..

    Pac isn't on PED's but I agree with this post.

    Pac should be fighting at 140. Everyone knows this.

    when you're fighting a guy like margarito who's slow as hell anyways, pac will always be faster even AT 154.

    I would be a lot suspect of his power though. that **** should have stopped at 140.

    Average # of pounds gain for an average guy when he turns 30 is about 25-30 lbs. For someone who's weight goes up and down, it would be more. So I can see someone who cuts down 5-10 lbs to make weight at 106, eventually going up to 140-150 in his 30's.
