    Manny Pacquaio is too small for Mayweather.................

    Manny Pacquaio is too small for Mayweather, not just in overall size but most significantly in reach!!, see i watched JMM fight Floyd and even though JMM was starting to show signs of sliding before the Mayweather fight and he did not seem to acclimatize to the weight very well, Mayweather made full use of the height advantage, i can see him doing the same thing to MP, of coarse Manny is a different animal but if Mayweather maintains and controls distance he would make it very hard for Pacquaio, particularly if he took centre ring and counter punched Manny from there the way Cotto did. I hear people say how Pac would overwhelm him but here is the thing, to me Pacquaio stops throwing when he starts getting countered consistently, Marquez did it to him in the second fight, when Pac was getting hit he seemed to stop and think about what he was going to do too much and it effected his output.


    I see it like this at the moment, Paul Williams has the tools to but not the Boxing brain or defense to maximize his advantages, basically he is a good fighter but not on Mayweather's level, Pacquiao is more on Mayweather's level, albeit probably not as good, but Pacquiao is too small, see that makes me undecided on which fight i would rather see, meaning which fight i think would make a more competitive fight.

      Bull****.

      Floyd weighed 146 for Mosley.

      Pac weighed 145.75 for Clottey.


      Pac can fight Cotto and Clottey who is bigger than even Floyd but somehow Floyd is too big? Bull****.

        Well i cant see it at least, not that i would not like to see him fight Paul Williams to see if he could make his height and activity a factor with a well constructed game plan, i dont think Mayweather would dream of fighting him though, not taking a shot at him but honestly dont think he would.

              Im mainly talking about reach and height!!! Burner.

              Floyd is a better fight than Clottey to, knows how to use his height more effectively.

                I really haven't seen Mayweather outbox a southpaw he usually walks them down, and that isn't a smart idea against Pacquiao. In no way am I comparing Clottey to Mayweather but I saw how Pacquiao's combinations backed Clottey up. Mayweather loves using that high guard against southpaws and I could see Pacquiao backing him up and then moving away. Of course Mayweather will counter inbetween Pacquiao's combination, which Clottey rarely did. Just looking at how ordinary Pacquiao looked against Cotto; when Cotto decided to move, Mayweather should opt to box. Then walk him down towards the 7th or 8th round. The much safer route is to Box, although I know other Boxing fans who believe Mayweather should instead walk him down from the getgo.

                  Floyd has a reach and height advantage.

                  Manny has a power and speed advantage. Lets get this **** on. No excuses.

                    Stop with bull**** about Pac being a lightweight. He was usually around 143-145 lbs on fight night.
