This question is mainly for those who think it is a significant difference. I keep seeing post where posters say Floyd is way bigger than JMM but Manny is the almost equal in size. If Floyd fights Manny is his size a significant advantage and if so then how does Manny win when Floyd also has all the other advantages exept power and maybe speed.
Compare how skinny floyd looks at the weigh in at 146 with JMM, and fight night vs Mosley. Its obvious he's a much bigger WW now compared to him fighting hatton, or even ODLH.
Im thinking he was at least 155-160 against shane. Floyd fans, or idiots.. try to argue that he doesnt rehydrate no more than 5 or 6lbs, but obviously that was prior to him "retiring".
He looked huge because he was a lean 5'8 148 compared to a 5'7 flabby 144. Duh. Stop showing your a non-athletic fat computer slob who know nothing about the human physic. Im in the boxing gym everyday and can easily eyeball a persons weight.
Man, you really are very intelligent... right?
I don't know why this issue surfaces time and time again? Floyd weighing 160+ on fight night (as some of you are insinuating he does) has been debunked time and time again.
Debunked? How, when nobody knows how much he weighed at fight night for the last how many years? The only reasonable gauge to use is to compare his size against his last opponents. What he weighed four or five years ago is irrelevant today.
I think Floyd made the ultimate sacrifice.
He cut off his dick and balls so that he could gain a few extra pounds of muscle and comfortably make 147.
Case solved.
To answer the threads question, I would say by not much is Floyd bigger than Manny. Not enough for it to be a factor. At the end of the day BOTH fight as Welterweights!
It was great how silent you all went when a shot Mosley could avoid Pac so easy and make Pac look lost , so much so that you fukers didnt know what to make of it lol , but now the fanboys have had enough time to pump each others tyres up so you all mouthy brave again buwahahahaha
Floyd is going to school Manny with a possible stoppage and Manny has a punchers chance , you wont believe how one sided it will be , not long now grasshopper .
I hope Floyd gained enough confidence as his fans, I really hope PAC-PBF happen soon, IMHO Ortiz as tune-up is a good sign ... :boxing:
That is what HGH does for you ;)
Thats it , too much PED talk surrounding Floyd and Pac , these 2 must be OST tested for the good of boxing :) ,,,,,,,,,,,, why did Manny leave the building I was only kidding ,,,,, sheeeeese sensitive little fuker isnt he .
I also thought Floyd looked bigger than Shane when they fought, so their is a definite size advantage for Floyd, plus he knows how to use this advantages ...
That is what HGH does for you ;)
Wfebeater won't turn in to a dragon with Pacquiao ... he's too scared to do that. he's gonna do exactly like Mosley and run for his life.

think about it like this.. floyd had a considerable size advantage on shane, meaning he's thicker and wider and shane was bigger than manny. so its probably more than you'd think. as far as speed goes, theyre different animals. manny is a faster offensively but floyd is quicker counter puching so really, pick your poison. for power i'd definetly give the advantage to manny

Floyd weighed in at 46, and fight night he was 47. How the hell was he bigger than Mosley?
I swear you either don't know and just make shyt up, or you're ****in retarded.
Floyd is 5'7", Manny is 5'6". Floyd has never came in over 150 in his career. Size don't mean shyt, Baldi was 16/17 pounds heavier than Floyd, Marg was 16/17 pounds heavier than Manny.
They are both small WW period... Shyt Sweet Pee is 5'5" but they never hyped up the size thing. It's all a media hype trick...
the hoya fight was before he retired.....thats not waht you base this h1t on....
shane and floyd looked very similar.....do you honestly think shane was only about 154 when he fought floyd?....
do you not see how fat jmm was vs floyd compared to the jmm who fought katsidis weighing 145....did you not notice how huge floyd was vs jmm?...
putting those toghether, floyd was defintely 160ish in his last two fights.....
NOPE, if you listen to the interview, floyd said he wanted to come in around 150 for shane but he said he was "in such tip top shape that he couldnt gain the weight" he was 147 or 149(cant fully remember) and couldnt get any higher. he said he ate twice but still gained nothing because his body was in such great shape.
good assessment and everything, but Pac won't be able to use his high workrate against a counter puncher, as quick and accurate like Floyd, and what boxer have you seen walk through floyds lead rights? When shane decked Floyd not once but twice what did Floyd do? he actually came out of the turtle, stared being the aggressor immediately in the same round and started setting traps by going turtle, letting mosley throw a body shot to set up the same right that decked Floyd, yet Floyd jabbed and hooked as soon as he threw that body shot. its not the speed, power, countering that really matters, its the fact Floyd is just smarter and will adapt, Pac trying to use a high workrate will fall into floyds countering game plan, manny is going to have to actually box

Floyd is the smallest dude Pac will have fought in a long time. He's got small hands and a small head when he blows up. He's probably 150 lbs max on fight night.
He's grown into WW a bit better, but on fight night I see this being the most evenly fought match in a while. Neither of them blow up after the weigh in. That's a Myth.
Pacquiao was pushing 165 lb Clottey around like it was nothing, Hammered 160 lb Shane, 154 lb Hatton (who seemed to out muscle Floyd), and best yet 165 lb 5'11 Margarito (even bigger than the one Shane fought, people seem too forget).
Floyd is the smallest dude he'd have fought in a long time. And the lightest hitter.
based on styles though, good fight. Floyd lands accurate but get's seriously out worked from round 3 on and loses a surprisingly lopsided decision. On top of that I see him getting decked at some point but getting up and turtling.
I expect Floyd to have his moments and land a solid amount of straight rights that Pacquiao will probably walk through.
Thats my take, I just can't see Floyds usual game plan doing it's job. Look at the trouble he had with Hatton.

ask Floyd :laugh:
at least Pac will honor the damn catchweight against the LW :laugh:
Guess Pac wants to be above his best weight then , which makes no sense at all when Pac is calling the shots , or maybe he wants to make JMM very slow too handicap him out of the fight , that seems more to Pacs recent MO , he dont care if it is a great trilogy , he dont want the tough fight JMM brings when he has speed so he will get a handicap somehow !!
or your 140 is BS take your pick .
