    give a man credit where it is due

    a year ago a fight with hatton.. pacman was underdog..
    a fight with dela hoya is a "dream match"
    a fight with mayweather is ridiculous"

    now some are even thinking pacman has a chance beating mayweather

    so why would people discredit pacman and say he's over rated..

    pacman is a great fighter.. and is IMHO the greatest fighter today..

    better than anyone else including mayweather..
    mayweather beating pacman doesnt mean mayweather is better..
    mayweather has all the advantages.. he is naturally heavier and
    bigger than pacman..

    Mayweather has all the advantages now?? Really come fight night Mayweather is 149 at WW and Pacman is 148. Weight shouldn’t be a excuse. Mayweather is 5’7 Manny P is 5’6, 1 inch difference, but I never knew boxing was determine on height classes. Manny P has bigger fists foreman this should counter act Mayweather reach advantage. Mayweather will be coming out of retirement while Pacman will be active and fresh.


    If Mayweather beats Pacman he is the better fighter, that is plain and simple. both in their prime as well.

      Mayweather is a lot bigger than Pacquiao, only a fool would disagree.

        Manny is unquestionably a great fighter.

          dlh was too. mayweather is 5'8 and manny is 5'6 1/2...floyd is probably stronger though. thats what your saying right?

            At this point, aren't May and Pac pretty evenly matched? Pac looked pretty ripped and fast for his DLH fight. He was 148.

              Sign me up as a fool. I do not think May is "a lot bigger" than Pac.

              Do you consider Ricky Hatton "a lot bigger" than Pac? Just trying to understand your viewpoint.

                it bothers me when people say pacman was a former flyweight...well no **** back when he was 16 years old! he is now 30 and has been fighting at 147 pounds way back since the first JMM/Pacman fight, so Pacman has always been the bigger man against all his opponents. so if his walk around weight is 160 and he had to kill himself to make the weight, it means that's not his natural weight, Manny is a natural welter.

                  Question, Is Manny P smaller because he started fighting at a lower weight
