Why isn't Pac fighting Bradley at his strongest/most proven weight (140)?

[eklok]

cause pac says so!!!

I hear Pac can barely make 147 because he's so small, so why doesn't he fight Bradley at 140, which would be both fighters strongest weight?

It just seems like Pac is trying to put Bradley at a disadvantage before they even step in the ring. I've heard other posters say that Pac tries to do this, but I've never really gave it much attention.

But when it comes to Bradley, I just don't see why Pac feels the need to bring him up in weight when that would obviously put Bradley at a disadvantage before they even enter the ring.

Bradley has had 1 fight at 147 against Abregu, which ended up being at UD. Nothing to scream and shout about.

I understand this is a fight and the whole object is to beat your opponent, but I don't think Pac has to win this way. IMO, he can beat Bradley at 140, but why try to beat him this way before the fight even starts. It's just not necessary.

wouldn't Pacquiao then be at a disadvantage at the weight if it slows him down and has trouble making it?.. there's no logic to your statement. quit making excuses.

Its ok for him for Pac to go down but not for Floyd when he fought Hatton at 147 and Marquez at 146. Hypocrite.

Exactly... Cause Pac says so.

Team Pac understands that Bradley has beaten Holt, Alexander, Witter and Peterson at 140. These accomplishments are obviously above average.

Team Pac also understands Bradley has beaten Luis Abregu at 147. I would say that's right at average.

If I was Pac, I'd wanna fight Bradley at 147 too.

I thought Collazo beat Hatton at 147. I felt that Mayweather fought Hatton at 147, just like he fought everyone else at 147. I'm not sure if Mayweather could make 140 without draining himself.

Besides, I thought Hatton asked to fight Mayweather at 147?

Mayweather fought DLH at 154, he wasnt going to go from 154 to 140 for Hatton, especially when Hatton 1, already fought at 147, 2, said how he had a hard time making 140 and 3, "Wasnt ready yet" to fight mayweather when BOTH of them were at 140.

I dont really have an issue with Pac fighting bradley at 147 though, because obviously bradley moved up to 147 to chase pac and signed with arum to get pac. 147 is where pac has been at for a while now.

How many times are the numskulls in here going to realize that Hatton fought Floyd weighing 153 and Floyd weighed 152 , at Hattons only real WW fight he weighed 159 and said he felt sluggish and will never fight at that weight again , he didnt !

Hatton fought ALL his JWW fights weighing around 153 and he and his trainer has said that Hattons best fighting weight was 153 .

At the time of the fight Hatton wanted 147 for 2 reasons , a shot at Floyds title and if hew loses he still holds his JWW belt , Hattons trainers said Floyd is no way a full blown WW and thats why they took the fight , he said when you see Floyd in the flesh he couldnt believe how small he was .

You kids talk boxing but know very little about it , its all hype and posturing fanboy arguments in the my tonka truck is better than yours type bullsheet .
