WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) says he is still physically capable of getting down to the lightweight limit of 135-pounds.
Pacquiao has not been at lightweight since 2008, when he knocked out David Diaz.
Following the fight with Diaz, Pacquiao jumped up by two weight divisions to face Oscar De La Hoya at welterweight and he's been pretty much stationed in that division ever since. He weighed in as low as 142 and as high as the full division limit for his welterweight fights.
Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, believes his boxer's best fighting weight is at 140, the junior welterweight limit. He would like Pacquiao to take a big fight at junior welterweight against one of the big names in the lower weight divisions. But Pacquiao says he can get down even lower if needed for a big fight. "I can do even 135 pounds. It's easy for me. It would take two or three days to lose the weight," said Pacquiao.。。。。。。。
