Because Pac is just that good.

Simultaneously ruling 126, 135 and 147 is more astonishing but somebody has done it before.


IF he's bloating in betweein fights training 2 hrs per day and drinking as opten as he want then we might wonder...but he's not. He trains like an animal way way beyond normal compared to other fighters.


There's a logical explanation on why he's performing this way and its not based on speculation.

Al Bernstein recently wrote. “Manny Pacquiao is one of the hardest working and most disciplined fighters in the sport. Manny Pacquiao’s success as he moved up in weight has been fueled mostly by a change in style and tactics rather than added strength. One of the most astonishing things to me is the folks who somehow believe that all of a sudden it’s reasonable to assume that Pacquiao, above all other boxers, needs a special set of testing rules to participate in a big fight. No performance enhancing drugs can change your technique. It was not power that made the difference. The difference was speed, ring generalship, combination punching, and a vastly improved defense.”

-From Thomas Hauser article
Yes, he's the hardest-working fighter in the sport, like Roger Clemens was the hardest working pitcher in baseball and Barry Bonds the hardest working hitter. Pac is so hard working he only spends half the time that all other elite fighters do making movies and records, campaigning for political office etc. And all those marathon eight week training camps! Who ever heard of another fighter having an eight week training camp?
