Are Pacquiao and Mayweather the same size?

[shadeyfizzle]

floyd walks around at 150-160//pacman walks around at 150-160//pacman is 5-6//floyd 5-7///whats the point of this thread..i hope its not 2 say its an unfair fight..when people say floyd is ducking margo who's 5-11 and walks around at 180 minimum!!!!

Please take off the Mayweather colored glasses. If you want proof that Mayweather is bigger than Pacquiao you dont have to look any further than the press photos of the dream match at the statue of liberty, and any picture of Mayweather now. Pacquiao's 150-160 looks like Erik Morales after too many tacos. Mayweather's 150-160 doesnt look any different from his fight photos.

Floyd is the bigger guy. Floyd's most effective weight imho was 140-135, while Pacquiao's most effective weight was at 126-122.

at 140 Floyd had no problem hurting his opponents, but struggled to hurt Baldomir and DLH.

Pac was a buzzsaw at 122 and 126 but he doesn't fight with the same intensity at the higher weights. at 126 he knocked down JMM 3 times. at 130 he only knocked down JMM once and couldn't put away Mab in the rematch.

** Problem is, Floydy's fans worried he's getting undercut by Manny.

Manny a lock to be fighter of the decade now. Since Floydy is a self proclaimed billionaire, don't see why this would bother his fans.

Manny is the only guy to KO Morales and Barrera. He actually knocked down Marquez 5x, twice in the 2nd bout but the ref allowed Marquez to hold the rope to avoid the 2nd KD after being knocked silly in the follow up of the first KD. The round ended shortly so it's a minor point since he just KOed a lightweight and welterweight with some of the most ferocious one sided beatings ever seen in modern times.

As far as size goes, unless any of you dears are one of their grrls, whats the worry? They enter the ring at the same size their last few fights.

Now, Floydy has left himself in the cold if he wants to comeback unless he wants to fight Oscar. Manny and Ricky is damn near a done deal as Oscar and Arum are great business buddies now and that fight being developed for some time now. Ain't gonna want to drop that to promote Floydy so he can pull out of mid-promotions in another retirement stunt.

Floydy can only pray Ricky wins since he will never accept Arum's mandates. Might as well piss into this winter's artic blasts as Manny is also gonna blast Ricky to bits a lot faster and without the need for any ref and turnbuckle assistance. Just don't see Manny/Floydy happening unless Floydy takes short money, but funny money is a billionaire who could afford to turn down the estimated 30 mil purse for the Oscar rematch, so maybe he agrees to 35%.

Well, we'll see, deals fall out, fighters get cut, caught by big punches, or run into little buzzsaws like Oscar did, ruining his little retirement fanfare. Be a shame if Manny ruined Floydy's little retirement party also, but Floydy brought it on himself, wearing that sombrero like that.....

Close enough, but keep in mind that Mayweather weighed 112 in the amateurs, where you aren't able to blow up weight. Pacquiao weighed in with weights apperently, but he was still a growing weight. The weight difference is useless because Pacquiao has shown he can clearly beat people who weigh more then him. They both rehydrate to the same weight on fight night anyway

Height is minimal. Pacquiao is 5'6 and a half and Mayweather is 5'8. Manny Pacquiao has a 67 inch reach, while Mayweather has a 72 inch reach. Pacquiao, once again, shows he can get past that reach. Morales has the same reach as Mayweather.

Mayweather "looked" De La Hoya's size because De La Hoya crouches down when he fights, but De La Hoya was clearly the bigger man. De La Hoya dehydrated to 160ish come fight night, Mayweather lost two pounds to be 148!

The size is not an excuse for Pacquiao at all. Oh by the way, Miguel Cotto is an inch shorter then PBF and has Pacquiao's reach. Where was the "Cotto's to small to fight him" for that fight? Where was the "size" outcry for Margarito-Cotto?

in a fight between two fighters of near caliber, every measurement counts...

for sure floyd will know how to use 2" to its best advantage.

for sure floyd will know how to use his use his considerable reach advantage.... morale did wonderful w/ his reach advantage in the first fight, but forfeited it in the rematch and rubbermatch.

cotto didn't start boxing at 106 lbs....cotto is naturally stronger and bigger.
