DLH vs PBF is prime example of how PBF didnt even pass 150lbs without restriction...add to that he's going to have to cut weight after a 2 year layoff...
    if you watch it, it will come.

      TS, even if they weigh the same JMM is not a ww, he is a blown up sfw fighting a small ww....they are not the same size period.

        Neither is Pacquiao but you are still ok with him fighting Cotto (no catchweight). Mayweather fans, your fighter won't ever get the credit he deserves while an active fighter. If he plays his cards right he might long after he retires. It's a fact of boxing. Don't waste your energy fighting the haters, time takes care of them.

          pacquiao has fought at 147 before and looked pretty good at the weight.

          he's also the lineal champ at 140.



          marquez has 0 fights at 147. marquez has 0 fights at 140.

          big difference jumping from 135 to 147 in one fight.



          pacquiao is also a lot younger than marquez and will have a few advantages over cotto such as footwork , speed , stamina , etc.

          the only advantage marquez has over mayweather is HEART and BALLS.

            im not saying PBF is not the bigger man, he IS. what i am saying is that this isnt going to be a massive difference come fight night. PBF is a small ww, really should fight at jww since he ducks the REAL ww's but nevertheless, he's a small welter. im also not trying to dimish the accomplishment it would be if JMM pulled it out, but again, there are some cards stacked against PBF as well.

              It's something we won't know until they are in the ring or the weigh in. But PBF is just a naturally bigger man regardless.
