    It'll just end up being at 143 or 144 against either the JMM/Alvarado winner or Provodnikov.

    wierd.. i always seen pac and thought why the hell are you not fighting at 140 thinking he wants to be 100% comfortable and prob walks around about 146-147 but if he is walking around 142 a sauna sesh before the weigh in an he can make 140...

    its unfortunate that there arent that big of names there anymore but atleast its more refreshing then marquez 5 or bradley 3 ?

    Two, brain damged souls, engaged in a futile coverup. Notice, how his power drops after the floyd allegations, & then roach calls out two conditioning coaches?

    Just another broner move. After 6yrs of fighting at 147lbs. Smh. What happened to the power used in stopping margarito? God given power? Yeah right..... When did ariza change his name to god? Lol.. Floyd must really be scared of a man who feels he is too little to fight at 147 all of a sudden.

    he'd only have to shed like 10 lbs to make 140, it wouldn't be too difficult

    well, he hasn't fought at 140 yet, clearly 147 was too big a step up for him

    and yeah, he will always be remembered as Argentina's ***** :lol:

    Hopefully it's not true. The last time Pacquiao made 140 was 5 years ago, moving down now will only weaken and possibly ruin him. He has better options at 147 than at 140.

    Yet they still fought him twice and a third fight is most likely going to follow soon. Pacquiao wasn't in a position back then to move down for Marquez who's only fight at welterweight was against Mayweather. There's a lot more to it than just poking jokes and overlooking the actual scene back then.

    The power is still there, he just fought a list of killers that have never been stopped since he fought Cotto he's taken on Clottey who's never been down, Moseley who went into survival mode after getting knocked down, Marquez who's never been stopped despite dropping Marquez & almost having him out in the 4th fight before walking on to the hail mary, Bradleyx2 who's never been stopped & Rios who I've never seen hurt never mind dropped or stopped.
