"If shane was to ever fight pacquiao, if anybody in our camp told shane he was the bigger man, i would put them out in my camp"

No more catch weights Manny and Freddie, I think its a straight up ***** move on anyones part to negotiate like that. One fighter picks the Venue OK, Ring size I can understand, even gloves I can understand but creating a catch weight scenario is low class. You could cause a fighter to dehydrate and get seriously injured. You can believe they will try the same thing with Foreman.

Quick, someone name me a full-fledged welterweight that eats six meals and five protein shakes a day just to come up 3 pounds short (144) of the 147 pound limit at the weigh-in.

I'll wait.

At what weight does Cotto walk around? How about Clottey? Margarito? Shane? Berto?

Thanks for playing.

Dude before the days of the day before weigh in fighters had to make weight the same day of the fight. Honestly most of these WW's are MW's that drain themselves to make WW limit. Back then there was the original weight classes and there was no comparision of JWW and WW they were all bunched into one wieight. Put PAC in there with a MW and I wqill say he is the smaller man at this point. Putting him in there with a guy who maybe out weighs him by 6-8 pounds on fight night and had to drain themselves to amke that weight to me give the other fighter no advantage. Not having to drain yourself to make a fight probably give PAC the advantage my friend. Height reach and those legs man did you see his legs bro? Honestly in baseball pitching is all about your legs most power pitchers have tremendous legs. Look at Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens and their legs where where they got there fast balls from. Throwing a pitch is alot like throwing a punch. You have to get your legs hips and shoulders into them. I bet PAC could throw one heck of a fast ball!!!!...Listen Playing or winning is not what it is about on these boards it is about debating logically and logically to keep dwelling on the smaller man issue is dead for me. He is passed that...Lefty
