The 27-year-old Filipino weighed in at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. According to his chief trainer and gym owner Freddie Roach, Pacquiao tipped the scales wearing shorts and fighting shoes.

"His real weight is about 136," said Roach who, like Pacquiao, is not at all worried about the situation.

While he felt "unbelievably strong" after weighing in at 142 lbs in Mexico City yesterday, Erik Morales’ chances of making the 130 lb limit for his Nov. 18 battle with Manny Pacquiao has remained in question.

As mandated by the World Boxing Council, the three-time world champion from Mexico was weighed a month before the fight, and was allowed to weigh no more than 143 lbs.

Tony Aldeguer, owner of the Cebu-based ALA stable, said yesterday he expects Morales to fight Pacquiao like Marco Antonio Barrera fought Rocky Juarez recently in retaining the World Boxing Council superfeatherweight title.

Morales’ father, known as Olivaritos for his resemblance to Mexican ring legend Ruben Olivares, was blamed for the defeat to Raheem and replaced by Lopez for the Pacquiao rematch last month. The termination ended a long partnership that reaped three world titles in three weight divisions for Morales.
