    In the fightnews article, it stated:

    Pacquiao and Roach revealed plans on moving up to 135, after making the 130-pound limit of jr. lightweight proved tougher than expected this time around.

    So he's moving up from a division that includes JMM, Guzman, Valero, and Soto to a division that includes Juan Diaz, Casamayor, Katsidis...

    Thoughts?

    Let me guess. He will try for the easiest belt in the division against David Diaz. Most likely ducking Joel Casamayor and Juan Diaz.

    He should rematch Marquez first and fight either Soto or Guz...

    he should try his best to stay at superfeatherweight for 1 more fight.

    Pac struggled to make weight this time around because he started training late and of all the distractions.

    Pac vs. Diaz would be a great fight, but Pac should fight Marquez first.

    Pac has defense now...there is nothing to worry about. It is not a bad move b/c his speed advantage over them guys would be great and he can match them in power. Pac is a better fighter and I am not worried about 135 he still will be elite but not unbeatable as is anyone else. But he beats Diaz. Diaz is one dimensional and very overrated.. VERY.

    He should just make his training camps longer. Hes had very short ones all his career, but now hes getting older hes going to need longer to make the 130 weight. There's too much money in the 130 division to step up IMO.

    I was screaming for Pac to slam his str8 left into MAB wide open gut. When he did he got Barrera backed into the ropes and where he could find an opening. Look at the round by round. Thats the only thing Pac did not do right that fight.
