    Are you ******ed or are you really ******ed? How old are you Rooney? Do you even know what a premise is?

    Do we have to speak Spanish, Cebuano, Tagalog, Russian, French, Italian, Swahili, Arabic, Chinese or Korean to your ******ed ass because you seem to manage to fail every time someone gives you a feedback or ask you a simple question? Or maybe, Floyd skull fvck your ******ed ass so bad that you can't think straight.

    Go back and reread my previous post, and have a dictionary handy while you're reading it because I have a feeling your proficiency in the English language is very limited (pea sized brain). You are worst than my ESL students in Iraq... must be a product of the poor American School systems. WTF over?

    This is the main reason why I keep telling you that this conversation is for grown ups only. Now shut your pie hole and take a hike already.

    You don't even want to acknowledge the feat that was accomplished by Pac. You forgot that Pac was going up in weight divisions for 3 successive fights. Read the post below.

    I'm asking him to climb just 2 weight classes after settling at WW for some years now. Btw, please vote Sir Ellerbe. :good

    He can fight at either weight fine but the less you have to cut the better so 147 it is.

    I doubt that would show in the ring tho as the 147 lbers are bigger & better than the 140 guys so Manny is bound to have a harder time vs them, that doesnt mean that Pac himself is in any worse shape at 147 than 140.

    140 obviously. Welterweights don't weigh 147 or 148lbs on fightnight, and that's all Pac weighs when he steps into the ring. He will give away considerable weight against any welter, thus it is not his optimum weight. His optimum weight right now is 140, where he can comfortably weigh in at 140 then rehydrate to 148, and be giving away little or no weight to his opponent, and be strong as an ox. He is only at welterweight for the legacy-sealing big money fights, he has no other reason to be up that high and if the big names like Cotto and Floyd were lightwelters, he would still be at 140 without a doubt.

    Pac had a hard time with cotto at 145, if the fight was at 140 Pac could have stopped Cotto earlier. 140 is Pac's best weight.

    Yes it was hard for Pac. FYI Pac suffered from a broken ear drum during the fight and his face was battered badly the showed after the fight.

    Dude I dont know what fight you were watching.... He had such a hard time that he performed at his concert pretty much right after the fight at Mandalay. He did take much more punishment than his previous 3 fights combined though.

    Pac is stretching it too much at 147. He will get stopped by Floyd.
