130, 126, 122 or 112?
plain and simple question. if you take the version of pac in those weight taking power, speed, stamina, chin, defence, combinations among other things, which do you think is the best version of pac?
is it safe to say that today's pac is the best version of pac ever? is this his prime?

I think 122 is his best weight. 126 were his best wins. His skill are better now, but he has lost some of his advantages at 130.

so the 122 version of pac will beat today's version? that's with weight put aside of course
you're saying that pac already peaked?

Well this version has more technical ability. But he doesn't have the power and speed because of his weight class as he did at 122. Obviously he hits harder and I think is still very fast. But at 130 he doesn't have the same advantages he enjoyed before.
If they are fighting each other then they would have the same power and speed. Can't really do that taking weight into account.
I think Pacman physically peaked a couple of years back. He knows the game better now.

I like 126 with his current skill
forget about what weight best suited him. i'm talking about plain overall skill

I think Pacquiao's best weight is either 122 or 126. He has sharpened up his skills more at 130, but I think he isn't best suited for SFW.

he's a more matured fighter now, but also think his chin is better now , he is more aware of his opponents capabilities...as a boxer, i think this is his best version, but as the brawler, all-out puncher... that was years back.

I think 130 should be better for him because he isnt getting younger,surely he doesnt want to drain too much weight befor a fight so i think 130 hes better devalop.

Pac was dominant at 122, He is much stronger there than anybody else. Just got in trouble with Hussein & Sanchez who both are dirty fighters.
Pac just fought 3 times at 126, He basically fought MAB almost the same weight he usually fought at 122. Inconclusive fight with JMM & easy fight with Fahsan make his record here not very conclusive.
The Pac that fought on first Morales is way Different than the one that showed up in the Second & Third fight. Pac lately have developed more skills & he's body now are well filled with the right Muscles without losing his speed.
Pac's great wins at 122 was not given the right Credit for Pac. While one great Win against MAB at 126 is where Pac really gain respect.
For me the Prime Pac is the one that fought at the Third Morales fight. He's now a more complete fighter. Pac's the only fighter who KD & KO Morales. His KO of Morales is more impressive than any of his KO in the lighter weights. Pac future KO wins will be more respectable coz he's fighting much bigger Guys. I don't see Pac struggling for a win on any of his future fights at 130. I see Domination.
