Allow? He has to eat 6 meals or more a day just to keep the weight on for WW. Things could be different or changing as he gets closer to 40. But for now, that is not a guy that is trying hard to keep from going over weight.
you are comparing a young man that hasn't physically matured yet, to a fully grown man at his absolute muscle peak, that has been on a 7000 calorie diet just to maintain 145 lbs.
All of these boxers eat thousands of calories because they burn so much during training camp. There are, of course, exceptions. But Pacquiao isn't unique in this regard. They need energy, and calories equal energy.
Have you seen Pac out of comp? He gets pudgy. There's clips of him going back into camp around 156 He really isn't as small as people make out. He was weighing in the mid 140s when he was fighting at FW Weighed 147 when he fought at LW
Broner is bigger than Pac. He has to lose more weight to make weigh and he gains more weight after the weigh-in. Naturally, he's about 10-15 lbs bigger than Pac, despite fighting around the same weight class.
You will rarely find a fighter who has to gourge himself with uncomfortable amounts of food to try and put on weight as best as they can. Roy Jones did the same thing to move up to HW. He said his best weight was 168 pounds and he had to eat lobster, steak, etc until he was getting the sweats. There is a natural weight. I never once though of Roy Jones as a HW when he was fighting at HW.
Of course there's a natural weight, I just don't believe Pac is a lightweight or can comfortably get there now. Obviously with the right diet he can, but how effective will he be? If he can, great! No reason to fight Bradley at 147 though. Also, the point of the thread I made was because people claim Broner cut weight at lightweight to fight smaller guys, yet Pacquiao weighed more than him on fight night. Double standards is all I was pointing out, I don't care how small Pac really is.
But he and Pacquiao weighed the same when fighting at lightweight. Did Pac have a size advantage too?
Pac can make 140 easily he has to eat loads of meals to make 147 the mere fact that he made 143 for algeri fight and was at that weight weeks before the fight proves this all he did was not eat as much meals The guy eats **** loads of food and has steaks and heavy food on the day of the weigh in
Broner is bigger, yes. But people claimed he was weight cutting to fight smaller guys at lightweight. Pacquiao weighed the same as Broner on the night yet no one says he's gaining an advantage. Is it a height thing?
Yet he was dehydrated during the Mayweather weigh in, guzzling water afterwards. And there's a video of him, before the Algieri fight, where he got on the scale weighing 156.
Pac is very small fighter i remember manny steward saying manny is nothing more then a 135 fighter naturally can you imagine how big broner would be if he was pushing 40 years old?
