Pacquaio hasn't weighted in at the 135 since 6/2008 when he fought David Diaz. But you can be sure that Pac would not go above the weight limit and it's likely that they would not be 5 lbs apart on the night of the fight.
He hasn't gotten a knock-out in his last 3 fights. Does this mean that his killer instinct had waned or that he's on decline, or both? So there is a high possibility that this fight will go the distance.
Manny has gotten criticisms for fighting for a belt at a catchweight but I don't hear any positive remarks with regards to him putting his belt on the line at a catchweight.
