If you look at Floyd his arms and upper body are the perfect size to be enclosed entirely... just like Clottey. He is also taller and broader than Pac... giving him an edge in reach.
Come on man. Mayweather is taller, grown into 147 and has a (near?) perfect boxing physique.
Pac is a min beast who belongs at 140. Sure, he is good enough to compete with some at 147... but in terms of physiques... Mayweather has the clear advantage.
so did Cotto.
So did DLH.
This size argument is not nearly as important as some are making it out to be when talking about top class fighters.
DLH is too big, or Cotto is too big for Pac portrays limited knowedge of important physical attribuites.
In addition, Floyd is a defensive fighter and counterpuncher, not someone who takes advantage of size differential in a stylistic sense.
I do not think Mayweather is substantially bigger than Pac. I think mayweather is 5-6 pounds bigger than Pac.

vegas odds dont consider fighters styles they consider fighters victories and with that said i think pacquiao is actually going to be favored and i think it has already been said that pacquiao is already the early favorite.
What? Ridiculous...
Pacquiao opened as an 8/5 favorite already until a few thousand dollar bets came in on Floyd that made it 7/5.
Odds will be going back and forth on this one. As soon as one is an underdog, he'll have bets coming in on him and vice versa.

No idea... but if Mayweather is NOT the favourite I would be very surprised. He is substantially bigger than Pacman and looked untouchable in his last fight.
But it was a staged fight and Marquez could not carry the weight. Pacquiao can, he proved that against Cotto.
I don't think Mayweather will be heavy favourite, though I do think he will be favourite. But when this fight happens, I'll bet all my points on Pacquiao. A big fight demands big risk, and this is THE big fight of my life.
