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

        o its fair enough id say, (if your natural weight it 147lbs), BUT for a man who started out at 160s lbs and has currently been fighting at 160s, to be floating back and forth looking for the best payday/name! is kinda cowardly id
        say!! Pauls not a natural 147lbser clearly, hes a 160lbser!! thats like a good crusier weight moving down to fight a middle weight, Im not sayn it cant be done, just isnt really fair!! I think Manny can beat Paul, Slicker fighter all around, Paul just throws alot, but so does Manny!!! I also think that if MayW decided to fight Pwill, and won. Id def agree He would deserve a bigger slice of the pie in a potental PAC MAY WAR,

          Paul Williams would be included in an argument for same day weigh ins, though. Dude has the potential to outweigh Pac by 15 pounds in the ring.
          Cotto and Margarito as well. Even Pacquiao gained a lot after his weigh ins at 130 and 135..Why should Williams be held to a different weight standard? They all can be included in that argument.

            PW is closer to 6 3, he is taller than Pavlik who is listed as 6 2. Many fighters never have the right height. Hearns was more closer to 6 2 than 6 1 also.

            Qawi sometimes would be listed as either taller or shorter than his height. Some said he was 5 8 and some had him closer to 5 5. He was probably around 5 feet 6.

            I also find it funny that PW's height is always mentioned, yet little is said about Caballero being a super bantam close to 6 feet fighiting guys 5 feet 6

                I personally don't see the attraction that fight...Williams is an absurd looking freak with a wingspan that exceeds the entire height of Pacquaio and most others...it would be a non-entertaining freakshow with the only way Pac can reach anything other than Williams nuts is to throw lunging upward hayemakers.

                  Non entertaining?

                  2 guys who never stop throwing.

                  Gotcha.

                      Holyfield vs Qawi 1- great fight with a guy about 6 feet 2 fighting a guy about 5 feet 6. Won't be a freak show since both throw alot of punches.
