Is it fair for a 6'3 tall man to fight a 5'6 man because they're the same weight?

    This is about money. And Martinez did the same thing when he wanted Mayweather as his first choice. I didn't see you complaining about that. Williams -Martinez will probably still happen. But when you use Williams height and the fact that he moved up as an excuse, it doesn't cut it. Especially when the majority of his fights have been at 147.
    Thats fine and all but you are forgetting that pac is not a natural Welterweight so who cares where Paul Has been fighting at. Every welter Pac fights has weight reach and height advantages but it seems to me what you are more intrested in is stacking the deck so much against Pac that you would have him fight a middleweight just because you want the man to lose.

    And yeah martinez may have "mentioned" Mayweather as an opponent but even you can tell the diffrence in how much effort martinez put into getting Floyd and how much effort paul is putting into getting Pac.

    Like I said Paul might as well start calling out Light Weights to fight him at Welter.

      eighter way ducking fighters bcuz of their height is not a valid excuse. its hilarious when ppl try to excuse pacquiao ducking fighters bcuz hes a small WW, there are weightclasses for a reason. if he wants to fight in a higher weightclass then hes built for thats just something he will have to deal with, it comes with the territory.

      thats like dawson moving up to HW but only fighting small HWs like chambers and haye then saying its okey for him to duck ppl cuz he isnt a real HW.

      if u move up in a weightclass your not built for u will have to give up size, including height. if u dont like it take your little ass back down to 140 or 135. anyone who doesnt get that is ******ed, and i mean literally ******ed. williams being tall is no diffrent than mosley having a good chin or berto being fast, its a physical advantage that his oponents will just have to adapt to and deal with (what boxing is all about!). not an excuse to duck him.
      OK. since you talk about being fair in weight. do u agree if pac fight williams at 140?

      advantage it is for pac. no excuses.

      if pac fight pwill in 147, thats fine for pwill. right?

      at 140, is it fine for pwill? thats a good money if he refuse pac. will his sweet science adapt? probably yes. will his body adapts at that weight. hhhmmmmm

          Pac can fight him or drop down in weight to escape the Punisher.
