Nor can Floyd compete wtih the workrate of Pac which means if he can't keep up with him or get Pac to stop throwing punches, Pac will bank rounds left n right. Pac wants this fight bad, I don't think he's gonna lose it.
    Floyd will cut his workrate in half because Pac will have to think against him. He will have to search and find Floyd to land. Hes not going to walk right at him like Diaz, Cotto, Hatton, Oscar and Clottey did.

    Floyd wont be leaping in at Pac either. He will keep him at bay with his jab to the body when Pac gets close he will tie him up.

      pac is fighting bigger men. not tht it matters since he was wayyyy faster that all of the fighters he had fought. but he is not a light weight. the guys is the same size as a lot of the jww. tht tells me his real weight class is 140. i mean wasnt he struggling to make 135?? the reason he didnt stay at 140 is becuz 147 is where the money's at. its rly like the middle weight where most fighters in the lower and higher wegiht classes ted to meet nowadays.

        2006 | 129 | Morales III | Ring Weight: 144 | Rehydration: 15 lbs
        2007 | 130 | Barrera II | Ring Weight: 144 | Rehydration: 14lbs
        2008 | 129 | Marquez II | Ring Weight: 145 | Rehydration: 16lbs
        2008 | 134½ | Diaz | Ring Weight: 147 | Rehydration: 12½ lbs
        2008 | 142 | De La Hoya | Ring Weight: 148.5 | Rehydration: 6½ lbs
        2009 | 138 | Hatton | Ring Weight: 148 | Rehydration: 10 lbs
        2009 | 144 | Cotto | Ring Weight: 149 | Rehydration: 5 lbs

        144-149 = 5 lbs difference in three years. Pacquiao is a legit 140lb'er and has been for some time.

          Because he is still weighing 148, 149 on fight night fighting guys who are coming in at 155-160.

            Pacquiao looked just as lean in both weigh-in's. He put on 10 - 12lbs of lean muscle within the same year. There is hardly any water-weight on him in either picture. He didn't "bloat" at all despite moving up from 130 to 147.

              Manny is a perfect JWW. He can make LW but will struggle and won't be as good. He is not a WW though but can compete with the best WWs

                But I also see posters saying Pac is just a little itty bitty guy beating bigger fighters. I read that hes a light weight on here and what hes doing is so amazing.

                But if you guys say Pac never gained any weight and is where he should be at this stage which is WW. How the hell is him beating "bigger" guys so impressive?

                Which is it fellas.

                I wiped my ignore list clean because I want to get his hardcore fans take on this.
                It only means Pac is the Greater fighter than Mayweather. At age 16 Pac and Floyd fought as 106 pounder. Pac was fighting the best of Asia and the best of the lower weight class as a Pro. While Floyd was still in the Amateur losing to the likes of 2nd tier fighters.

                At age 29 Pac and Floyd already fighting at 147 and Floyd fought as high as 154. The only difference is Pac's fighting without fear while floyd has too many excuses picking only the guys he can beat.

                I hope mayweather wins the Mosley fight coz I really want to see him in the canvas getting Koed by Pac.

                    He never fought Mosley or Mayweather, so he didn't compete with nor dominate the best welter-weights.

                      Pacquao was knocked out twice by two bums, lost to a washed up Morales and got outboxed by a smaller, older, and slower Marquez.
