    Because Floyd has filled into his body and Pac is what..........?

    A fight is a fight i know 160 pders who KO 200 pders weight aint **** but a lbs... its doesnt weigh heart, form, destiny, strength, etc...
    Well, it's because Floyd has faught all the way up to 154. And Floyd is already argueably the most skilled fighter in boxing today. So you combine the fact that he is already a big guy, then you combine his skills and now put him against a smaller guy... What will that recipe give you? (a question I want you to answer)

    In no way am I making Floyd out to be a bad guy. Because regardless of who he fights, I love watching him fight. Even if I know he will win, I still enjoy watching him box. So, i'm just trying to be objective you know? It's like Mosley fighting JMM. Makes sense? Nope. Just sayin.

      -No, your post reeks of ignorance.

      So 145 is an official weight class now? LMAO!

      And Cotto DID have a 147 title. He was the WBO Welterweight Champion. That was the same title held previously by Paul Williams @ 147.

      You owned yourself buddy.

        People don't respect Pac for being a naturally smaller guy who has come up in the weight classes. People respect him because he will take on any challenge, something which Mayweather hasn't done for quite a few years now.

              Pac is 5' 6'' , with a 67" reach.

              Floyd is 5' 8", with a 72" reach.


              Pac started out at Flyweight and won his 1st championship at that weight.

              Floyd startd out at Featherwght and won his 1st championship at that weight.


              There are some 5' 8" welters out there, but probably never has been a 5' 6" welter out there.

              Pac is much smaller than Floyd folks.

                You do realize there is a diffrence between someone losing two pounds(It's essentially one less meal the day before the weigh in) Vs fighting guys a full weight class or two below you.



                Even a mongaloid child can tell that this is comparing apples to elephents.

                  Also 147 is the maximum allowable weight for a welter it's not written in stone anywhere that a welterweight fight has to have that maximim weigh limit allowed. A welterweight bought can take place anywhere between 141 and 147 so yes the Cotto vs Pac bout was a ligit welterweight fight.

                    Wasn't it Pac who fought for Cotto's 147 TITLE at 144?

                    You Mayweather haters are unbelievably ignorant to facts.
                    Did you expect Pac to come up from 130-135 or whatever to fight DLH at his natural 154. It's boxing you numbskull! They both compromised on 147.

                      Pacquiao's fighting the bigger guys NOW, and Floyd's fighting smaller guys NOW, so naturally people will respect what Pacquiao is doing more.

                      Floyd used to fight bigger opponents, but hasn't really done anything of note since 2007 other than beat a great featherweight/lightweight.
