Are Pacquiao and Mayweather the same size?

[El Chicano]

And he rehydrated to what?

My point is, after hydration, he did not look the way he did in that photo. You're trying to create a skewed perception. In that photo he weighed 130 pounds.

The question is.... Can Floyd make 130 pounds right now???

He cannot, therefore, he is a natrually bigger man than Manny.

Well since Manny's been eyeing the 140lbs weight division for a showdown with the bloated corpse of Ricky Hatton, hopefully Floyd can shed the 7lbs, drop to 140lbs, and we can have the fight there sometime next year.

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.

HUH??? manny is more water than FMJ??

Do disrespect... but you guys have never competed in a make-weight sport. Clearly.

He could make 140. I'll tell you that. Why would he make 130 for? He'd lose alot of muscle. Alot of hard work would be lost.

If he CHOOSES to spend the last two weeks of training camp drying out. He CHOOSES not to.

You mean that all of these guys can drop 12, 15, etc pounds of water wqeight... but Floyd's body mysteriously won't allow it?

Gooz is 146, 147. he makes 130.

I would bet ALL of my (useless) points that Malignaggi outweighs FMJ on fight nights.

That's true on my part.

I think Pacquiao's fans are just afraid of a possible bout between Floyd and Manny. That's why they use the flawed argument that Floyd is so much bigger than Manny, use simplified logic (all Welterweights weigh in at 160lbs), and go out of their way to discredit Floyd. (Gayweather this, Gayweather that.)

It's really quite funny, because if Floyd does come out of retirement next year, and Manny is at 140lbs, who better to beat the **** out of to get your respect than the current #1 p4p fighter in the world?

Floyd would Gatti that ass. Straight up.

I'm not saying that he should make 130 lbs, I'm just trying to prove a point that Manny can make it comfortably, while Floyd cannot.

Manny is smaller framed than Floyd, evident in his ability to make the Jr Lightweight division weight limit.

The furthest south that Mayweather can make is 140, and that's speculating, cementing the fact that he is the larger framed man.

THE END.

[Easy-E]

They are the same size, or at least in a relative sense.
they both walk around at just over 150 pounds and Floyd's fighting weight is about 148-150, and Manny came in at 147 pounds last night.
