i just think a pacquio win has more value, my point is- what pacquio is doing at welter is the equivilent to what floyd would be doing at 154 in terms of size, obv floyd has only had one fight at 154, people havent critisized him about it in the past because he hasnt dominated at welter yetComment

Floyd -- 19 years old (1996) -- 131 lbs
Pac ---- 19 years old (19996) -- 112 lbs
Floyd 19 lbs. heavier at the same age
Floyd -- 5' 8.0" --- 72" reach
Pac ---- 5' 6.5" --- 67" reach
So, Floyd = about 19 lbs heavier, naturally; 1.5" taller; 5" more reach.
PBF is a couple of divisions heavier, naturally, than Pac. Forget about what they were at 16 years old. This is post-puberty or whatever.
You realise that you're ignoring others factors such as their diet?
When Pacquiao was 21 he was fighting at 122lbs I think. When Mayweather was 22 he was fighting at 130lbs.Comment

He keeps saying Pac's best weight is 130 or 140, also says Floyd was only off for 1 year, the guys finds a way to take away from Floyd anyway he can. He asked Raphel if this is a legitimate fight Dan said yes insisting the Cotto fight and Kenny is like well we will see.Comment
