    Both because he looked quite devastating at 147 against cotto who was naturally the bigger man.

    The truth is out there. :D

    But seriously, everyone is forgetting the fact that Pac still belongs to 140lbs division. It just happened that there are no big names at 140lbs and that is why he is staying at 147lbs.

    That might be right but unlike some fighters he his very devastaing at both weights. He as shocked me especially when I thought lightweight would be his optimum weight.

    At fight time I can't seeing weight being an issue pac will give 6 lbs max away or even less because floyd doesn't put much weight on b4 the fight.

    135 he still looked like he wasnt filled out yet. 140 he is devastating.

    Manny is a small welterweight compared to guys like Margarito and Clottey thats why I think 140 would be his best weight to fight at.

    He might be a small WW but is speed of punches is what will trouble anyone in the 140 or 147 weight division.:good

    Before the Cotto fight, Team Pac said they had to feed Manny 5 times a day to keep the weight on. Pac said he struggled to make 135 against David Diaz.

    145 + 135 = 280 / 2 =

    Pacquiao was borderline lethal at 140, i thought hatton would die after that punch

    for a fighter who made 138 pounds in the hatton weigh in and only 143 for the cotto weigh-in, i say 140 lbs is the best weight
