I'm sure Floyd stays in shape year round, but Pac's body tends to get soft (absence of six pack, not fat) between fights.
I'm glad he's in this much shape. I remember around the days he fought Margarito (around when he first became senator) he looked bad in my opinion. Not fat but flabby, no muscle, no definition. First Bradley fight was the same story. Both are going to be in awesome shape come May.
Pac had love handles for Roidque 4 and Bradley I: [url]http://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/4612729/157928797.0_standard_352.0.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.thesweetscience.com/images/stories/boxing3/PacquiaovsbradleyW1_a690f.jpg[/url] But not for Algieri: [url]https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/FmV-k4tg1vZztt9tUSOUHE3snCY=/0x247:2000x1580/730x487/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/44209008/459388164.0.jpg[/url] Pacq should come in @ 144.
In the past yes, he get soft looking. But Im thinking the basketball is keeping him trim between fights. My pathetically limited experience of basketball is that its a great way of keeping your cardio ticking over.
Dude knows what he has to deal with come May 2. He's no fool. He probably hasn't even ****ed his wife in months.
I think Pacquiao needs to stay in the 144 area as well. He looked so fast, youthful in the Algieri fight. 144 was perfect. The fittest I've seen him in a long time. Freddie was right too when he said Pacquiao's power would come back moving down a bit, and it certainly looked like it after the Algieri fight. I mean, when's the last time we've seen a seemingly normal straight left hand put someone flat on their back? Mosley? Hatton? Algieri fell asleep in mid-air! Lol! Either way, I trust Justin Fortune and Roach though in whatever they decide except what they did for Bradley. Pacquiao was in horrible shape for Bradley.
I think people are massively over-emphasising the difference between 144 on the scales and 147 on the scales. Hes still gonna weigh about 150 when he gets in the ring.
:-( Ignorance at it's finest....Why would either of them use PED's with a 5million penalty on the line...Boy people say **** just because it's free to talk!
