Roach/Pac say Pac may move to 135?

"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"

I think the big fights are at 130,ESPECIALLY the rematch with JMM. Thoughts? Pac-Kats would be a WARRRRR!! I think Kats wins although if Manny can carry his power,he could cut him up!

It would be in Pac's best interests if he did go up in weight, because there's a few guys at super featherweight that would beat him pretty bad (Valero, Soto, Guzman, Marquez, etc.)

Pac-Kats would be a FOTY, no doubt. They better bring a blood resupply van to that show. I honestly couldn't begin to pick a winner from that, though Kat does cut pretty easily, and that could be a factor. Other than that, it's a bloody, brutal pick em' fight.

I'd like to see him fight Marquez and Guzman first, but there are some very good fights for him at 135. Katsidis, Juan Diaz, Casamayor....all of these would be great.

Casamayor would school Pac

It would be ironic if he does move up seeing as he's the Ring champion at 130 whilst never actually winning a belt in the division.I wander if that's a first in the sport?

Good point..


I think a fight against marquez to earn that title and then moveon up is his plan..

Though im not sure he ever beats marquez.. Marquez managed to figure him out quick enough to salvage a seemingly lost fight.. so having gone twelve rounds with him and having watched his every move since i cant see pac bieng that effective over Jmm in the rematch..

I wanna see Pac-JMM rematch next. But if Pac does move up in weight, I wanna see a brawl galore with Juan Diaz.

I still don't believe with Casa schooling Pac. Guess you're making many prediction errors lately, VD.

Pacquiao will stay at 130, that's where the most money is. A Marquez rematch needs to happen. The Soto-Guzman winner will also be a viable challenger.

I think Pacquiao would have major problems with a well-schooled lightweight like Casamayor.

This is better said. Pacquaio may have problems with Casamayor but Casamayor giving a school on Pacquaio may be an overstatement. For sure, this will be an explosive fight.

I'm hearing that conventional wisdom is he will fight the winner of this upcoming Diaz fight? Has anyone else read that article? I think it was a member of his camp in a foreign interview or something.
