Mayweather has never weighed more then 148 during a fight.

Which is why I stated Paq/Cotto, simply based off weight. If Floyd stays at 147ish or so where he usually is then I see maybe 3-4 pound difference max. However, Floyd looks really really big lately and not sure if he'll weigh in less than 150 we'll have to see. But Cotto is definitely going to come in at around 160 and Paq prolly 145 or 146...

Going off weight its definitely Cotto/Pac if we're talking reach and height its definitely Mayweather/Marquez.

I agree Pacman is slightly larger then JMM not by any ammount to write home about though.

Floyd is bigger then JMM no doubt but I really don't think it is that crazy considering where they both started their careers.

Cotto is a pretty good deal larger, Manny started at 108 but 122 is probably a better place to use as a starting point for this, Cotto started at 140 then had to go up because he couldn't make the wieght well anymore.

Then why was he outweighing Marquez by 6 or 7 pounds in the ring while being much more ripped at the same time?

Cotto is going to have to lose a bit of muscle mass to make 145.

Pacquiao was 148 against both Hatton and DLH. I'm expecting him to come into the ring weghing the same.

Possible, Roach has already stated the fights going to go late so I'm thinking Paq is going for speed more than power for this fight. Still 2 or 3 pounds isn't much of a difference when we're talking about being in peak condition on fight night, it'd be like Cotto coming in at 157 vs 160.

the issue here is size difference. not how much experience each fighter has in the higher divisions.

cotto has a bigger size advantage over pacquiao than mayweather has over marquez. its pretty obvious. floyd doesnt gain much weight after weigh ins.

but pacquiao-cotto is a more legit fight cause we know pac can fight in these higher weights, unlike marquez.

cotto is bigger than all of them ...

and they do fight bigger guys in sparring ever think of that ... its not like they are sparring with calderon or segura in flyweights

ever think of that?

It's not the point, the question or the subject... so it doesnt matter.

[King Flawless]

How does Floyds skills affect his weight?????

Street Bully is saying. Floyd's weight advantage over JMM is more of the telling factor because of Floyd's skills

[S.G.]

Pacquiao is bigger than Marquez, but the weight difference between Cotto and Mayweather is definitely more significant than the one between Manny and JMM

So I'd say in reality the size difference will probably be bigger between Pacquiao and Cotto

I do have a sneaking su****ion that Floyd will rehydrate to his highest ever weight though; he looks bigger to me now
