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

[Doctor_Tenma]

I think the major factor there though, is that Manny has never fought a guy on HIS! level or possibly above who has a reach advantage, i think thats why its a lot more of a factor.

See an elite fighter like a Duran could go up and beat a Barkley because Barkley was a B class fighter, put Duran in with a guy as big as Barkley who is elite and he would not win.

Wouldn't you say Pacquiao is more athletically gifted then Mayweather, especially now at 147? To me that would more then compensate for Pacquiao's lack of size. Also, Pacquiao's size in my opinion is very beneficial to him, in that up close; his punches are hard to spot. His punches come from under.

Pac basically just beat a 165 Pound Clottey. I dont wanna hear that ****.

That's just to show you how good pacquiao is. A lightweight beating a Middelweight.

you dont think the 48 and 2 morales was was on a way higher level than that manny at that moment, (morales 2 losses to barrera were close enough to have his record at 50-0),

the thing that will win it for floyd is not his speed but his skils(if floyd were to win)

I dont get this post. Every person with eyes knows Floyd is taller and has a longer reach. Yes he will use it. Yes its up to Pac to do something about it. No thats not a reason to **** on him if he wins.

What if Mosley stopped Floyd in round 2 he doesnt get credit because hes taller and has a longer reach? Didnt Quintana beat Paul Williams? Hasnt Pac beaten fighters with longer reaches then him? Hes beaten taller fighters correct?

Does boxing have height and reach classes? No they have WEIGHT classes.

Pac in his last fight was 145.75 pounds.

Floyd was 146 Pounds.

I don't think he's discrediting a potential win, nor has he brought up weight.

What he's getting at is Mayweather's height, reach, and abilities are too much for Pacquiao.

Am I getting this right, DK?

but they say PAC beats only shot and weight drained boxers...

[Swag Hustla]

Mayweather is only slightly bigger. People think Mayweather is bigger because he's been at 140-154 since 2005 and Pac only moved up to lightweight less than 2 years ago.

But in reality, Pac should have moved up years ago. He was draining himself to make weight for so many years. People rarely mention that Pac was a huge Featherweight/Jr. Lighweight, re-hydrating 15+ lbs. Even in his move up to lightweight, he looked bigger than David Diaz.

Floyd was never that big of a weight cutter and he moved up when his body told him to. They are basically very close in weight. Floyd only has a reach and slight height advantage. Pac's best weight while still having good size would be 135-140. Floyd's would be the same. But both are good enough to negate bigger fighters size advantage at 147. Cotto, Clottey, and Mosely can attest to that.

mayweather basically froze in round 2 against mosley
he was lucky mosley had nothing in the tank
but it showed you that once mayweather gets hit
he grabs on, and he wont go toe to toe ....

1 He has not won, 2 how am i ****ting on him by stating that in my own opinion it will be a significant factor why i dont think he will win.

What if Mosley stopped Floyd in round 2 he doesnt get credit because hes taller and has a longer reach? Didnt Quintana beat Paul Williams? Hasnt Pac beaten fighters with longer reaches then him? Hes beaten taller fighters correct?

1 Mosley did not, 2 im not saying that you are, 3 He has but i will redirect you to what i posted to Tha_Greatest

They do have weight classes, dont mean i cant give my take on why i think the intangibles in the fight favour another fighter, thats not ****ting on anyone, thats called giving your opinion on why and who you think will win.

This topic has been done to death. If they wanna fight in the same weight class then then it's irrelevant.

If Pac wasn't to small for Clottey how can he be small for Floyd?
