I see the claim that "Pac was malnourished" used to 1. Justify why he was knocked out 2. Make him seem far more "godlike" in terms of skill I am not a Pacquiao hater I am just putting an end to this foolish thinking. 1. Pacquiao couldn't have been malnourished because he went from 98 lbs at his pro debut to 112 by the time of his first ko loss. 2. As a result of his wins he was getting paid and was able to afford food. 3. Just because he was 98 lbs at his pro debut doesn't mean he was malnourished. He was only 4'11". I grew up with a Filipino friend and he was always tiny compared to everyone else. Definitley didn't weigh anywhere near 100 lbs in fact he was 12 years old playing pee wee football. 4. If he was malnourished he wouldn't have had the stamina to train much less fight for 4 rounds.
Not little enough where they can't afford food. I could understand if he was homeless but not malnourished.
He's from a third world country and fighting at 16yrs old to feed his huge ass family with no dad. Seriously, you had to make a dumbass thread? How much you think he got paid at 16yrs old boxing?
