He was in his later teenage years or so. However, at that same age, Mayweather was still bigger than Manny. Or was he not?Comment

Well they're certainly closer in size than Floyd and Margarito, or Floyd and Cotto.
Floyd is the smallest man at 147lbs, he comes into his fights weighing around 147lbs or 148lbs. (The De La Hoya fight was at 154lbs.)
Pacquiao came into his fight with Diaz at 147lbs. In his last fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, he weighed in at 144lbs. In his second bout with barrera he weighed in at 144lbs yet again.
Floyd weighed in at 146lbs against Judah on fight night, 148lbs against Baldomir on fight night.
Not all Welterweights come into the ring on fight night at 155lbs-160lbs.
Manny is 5'6" and a half, Floyd is 5'8".
There is lieterally no size difference between the two. Save, for a 1 and a half inch height advantage for Floyd.
Should Manny be fighting guys like Margarito? Hell no. But a fight with Mayweather is completely logical to ask. (If Floyd comes out of retirement next year.)Comment

Mayweather is bigger and here is why:
Mayweather is straight muscle... not a lot of water weight on him, which is why he weighs in at the same weight that he fights at. He doesn't have to take off a ton of water in order to get down to his weight.
Pacquiao is 135 pounds of muscle (at most). He gets up to Mayweather's weight because of water weight.
Honestly, Mayweather would be able to take a punch better than Pacquiao at 147. He would likely be able to throw harder too... but that is just speculation.Comment

So, you mean to tell me, you think he's walking around with HEALTHY weight if he walks around at 160+? Healthy to the point that if he got down to his normal boxing weight, he would be an actual welterweight? The same guy who started his career BELOW 110 pounds is now the same NATURAL fight size of Floyd Mayweather?
Mayweather is a welterweight, Manny is a junior welterweight AT BEST.
Mayweather should just stay retired. He made his mark, cemented his legacy... blah blah blah.....Comment
