    If foreman is lucky enough to get this bout with the king of boxing.
    What weight should be fair for yuri to come in at? Keep in mind that yuri holds a full WBA title, and if manny wants to exceed history he'll have to allow foreman to weigh-in at the 154 pound limit if he chooses. However, money talks and foreman looks to be able to shed a few under the jr middle limit.
    But the question is, is that for once, shouldn't one of manny's opponents
    be allowed to weight-in at whatever he wants so long as they abide with the sanctioning bodies rules?
    Personally, if foreman comes in at 154 and as motivated as he was for santos, then pac will lose a wide decision.
    Foreman is too big with too much movement, and has too much speed
    for someone's pac's size to overpower. Power from yuri won't matter
    much as he can pic pac apart from range, and win a lopsided score.

    As long as he isn't weight drained.

    Overweight and out-of-shape Santos nearly scored the upset over Foreman. You can't possibly believe either of those guys are in Pac's league! :rofl

    150, cause god forbid if Pacquiao has to fight at the weight limit that the title is for. And don't let Yuri question him, cause Bob Arum will have none of that.

    Didn't stop him from making Cotto come in at 145.

    I'd guess about 135 lbs with a billion dollar penalty if your over. Of course somehow it'll be for the 154lb title

    Roach might ask for 148 initially. It's just a paper title a la D. Diaz fight. I hope Pacquiao doesn't fight someone like Foreman. Major letdown if he does.

    Multiple weight championships are a bit overrated because of what I call the "in-between" divisions. I think there are too many divisions now. It depends who you beat for it though also of course.

    I really hate these catchweight things, unless it was to make a superfight where both guys move halfway (say 172 for Froch v Dawson for an example).

    and yes I know that it is down to the fighter if he accepts it yadda yadda, I still don't like it.
