    Seems like a bull**** article. Only idiots believing in broscience would be stupid enough to wake up in the middle of to get a protein shake. Not buying that he's eating 8000 calories either.

    He should technically have no business fighting at 140 and above.
    He defies human nature by being able to be successful against elite opposition at welterweight.
    He could easily make 135lbs if he approached training camp like any other boxer, rather than a Khan preparing for Canelo.

    Yes he can Pac has never ever tried to make weight

    at 135 he might try to make weight a little like most fighters to do anyway

    exactly this is the key if he approached it like any other boxer trying to make it it should be really easy

    Pac has never tried to make weight like every one of this fighters

    some of these fighters weight 170 and make welterweight with not that much issue


    I actually think Pac would not need to make that much weight to get to 135 probably stop eating so much

    You do know this is boxing and not crossfit or whatever gay fitness training you're talking about, right? These boxers do whatever the hell they want. If you watch 24/7, there is no consistency to what boxers do. JMM used to drink his own **** and Martinez has that weird oxygen incubator. Pacquiao probably thinks it's helpful for him.

    Did you even read the article? Guy thinks cold drinks are bad for you. I'm sure he read all the scientific articles about protein shakes while he was winning all those world titles. :patsch

    I'm not sure how many calories Manny takes in, but these rumors of his training camp are pretty consistent. Pacquiao isn't a fighter that trains to make weight. Guy could probably make 135 lbs. if he wanted to.

    Hell, Mayweather, who is "the same size," couldn't make 142 lbs. Pacquiao made that easy for Algieri.

    Yes. He's a natural 135-140 pounder if you look at his measurements. Same size as Marquez, Duran, Pryor, or Chavez Sr. He'd have to be as strict with his diet and exercise as most of the other top guys in the sport to make that weight now though. I think he enjoys not having to cut all the weight and kill himself training now that he's a big star. He could get down to 140 easily, and 135 with some effort. I think he walks around at 150 and sheds about ten pounds in training if he's not eating steaks and rice all the time to get up to the welterweight limit.

    Yeah, but don't give him too much credit at welterweight. Most of the guys he's fought there moved up from lower weights to and are nearer his size than say Thurman or Brook would be. He could have fought Bradley at light welterweight and he did fight Marquez at featherweight. They weren't the same kind of challenge that a guy like Margarito posed, definitely more skilled, but not as big.

    140 w/ some effort. Drained at 135.

    Cotto, Clottey, Mosley, and Chemweather are all big welters. Rios was a fatty draining and killing himself. Algieri's a big dude and probably should have been at welter a lot sooner.

    I bet he was trying really hard at 126 and 106. You know he didn't start his career at WW. He was draining badly below 130.

    Yes. He shouldn't even be fighting at Welterweight. He's been 141/142 all week.

    With some effort? He's eating ridiculous amounts as it is and is STILL 141/142.

    I don't know what was Ariza feeding him back in the day but he is a lot smaller know. Like even his freaking head shrank.
