    He was 136 pounds fight night in his first fight at Featherweight. He was 129 pounds fight night at SuperBantamweight. He was around 150 fight night at Welterweight. Yes he was gobbling loads of calories. But Pacquiao was clearly getting heavier and heavier.

    Look how small and skinny Pacquiao is. Pacquiao is actually weak compared to all fighters 135 and above. The man isn't strong at all. That's why he got muscled around by Horn. When opponents clinch him, he doesn't have the physical strength to shove them off, so he just lets it happen until the refs steps in. Now super juiced Floyd is one of the strongest guys ever. He tossed Mosley around like a rag doll, walked down Canelo, Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero, and Berto when he wanted to.

    Pacquiao's career was only ever going to end up one way. That is fighting until he's half brain dead or fighting until he's getting destroyed by guys who are barely contenders. He fights everybody, everywhere and anywhere. He just fights.

    Floyd is stronger than Pacquiao mostly because he's a naturally much larger man. I love Pac, but be fair. It's not normal for guys his size to blow right through and come straight at Clottey and Cotto.

    Yes you see him progressively gaining weight which comes from eating more food. He was 129 against Julio and 136 against Barrera I.

    Right, but my point is, he's actually a lightweight that's competing at welterweight. If Pac was rehydrating to the 160s without losing speed and power, then you'd have a really strong case for PED use.

    He did say that helping people is his mission and boxing is his passion. You can see it, too. Meets with fans, poses for pictures, and signs autographs every day after training. He's the most accessible superstar athlete probably ever. He also said in an interview that he's obsessed with exercising.

    One Time, ponytail or whatever Thurman calls himself had better realize that Pacquiao is not a normal fighter. Trade with Pacquiao! Don’t think Thurman has the balls for that. Immediately he gets hurt in this fight I can see him going into survival mode. Much better fighters than him have struggled with Pacquiao. The only chance Thurman has is if Father Time comes into the ring on Saturday otherwise it will be all she wrote.

    There's a few others Keith shouldn't trade with, but I completely see your point

    If Thurman is being honest I think the odds tilt in Pac's favor.

    Thurman will be on the bike from round one. Thurman is not a stupid man, he knows you don’t trade with PAC.
