Manny Pacquiao said, "Well at 135 lbs I fell comfortable, and more stronger at that weight. It's easier for me to make that weight," in an exclusive interview with Brad Cooney published in the website boxingherald.com. He futher said that he usually weight at 150 lbs when he is not in training for fight.
Well, in the normal body mass index (BMI) of the Filipino in particular, 150-165 lbs are normal weights to a person with the height of 5'6" if he is not athletic; however, if he is athletic like Pacquiao, weights down to 130-145 lbs are very normal. So, talking about medically and physiologically Pacquiao is much more comfortable with the lightweight division that is 135 lbs.
Talking about his boxing career in the lightweight division. Pacquiao has a big chance to excel in this division, and even he can unify the lightweight belts. He said earlier in his boxing interviews that he is accustomed in the 130 lbs weight, so there is no question he can't do also in 135 lbs which is barely 2 kilos difference.
The speed and power we usually seen in his explosive fights will be the same in this division.
But it is not like an overnight change, not magic, and cannot be done in one set-up. He must to endure first the extra 5 pounds weight he will carry inside the ring. And I don't like to say it but fighting against a legitimate lightweight champion without tune-up bout, if indeed he can handle the lightweight division, is a bad idea. As I said he must to endure and analyzed first his body on how it is going to react with this weight division.
But this upcoming much anticipated June 28 "Lethal Combination" is the first endurance test for Manny Pacquiao. Well, let us just observe his performance if he can withstand with the legitimate lightweight punches of David Diaz.
Though, many of boxing observer tallied +330 for Diaz, Pacquiao is heavily favorite in this showdown. But we all know that Diaz is bigger person, and used to fight in junior welterweight, hence, big impact to his punch if it land to a naturally smaller weight than he is.
Granted that Manny Pacquiao able to stand convincingly in front of Diaz, and knock out Diaz in what ever rounds (as expected by many Pacquiao fans). Then, Pacquiao is legitimate lightweight boxer no reason he cannot do the same to other lightweight big names like Campbell, Casamayor, Katsidis, and other legitimate light weighter.
The June 28, 2008, "Lethal Combination" is the ultimate judging day for all our precaution and prediction.
