    floyd is bigger than pac. he's thicker, longer reach, taller, & overall bigger than pac.


    in my opinion no.

    Temperature reads what I thought it would.

      so instead of proving me wrong with a boxing post, you decide to leave?

        in pac's case, what he has done at 135 & up, should be appreciated & properly analyzed.

          Pacman started at 106 at the age of 16. Floyd at the age of 16 was fighting at 106 in the amateurs. Floyd is marginally bigger than Pacman. Pacman at 130 weighed the same as Floyd at WW fight night. Pacman isn't small as you make him out to be

                    I think Hatton was 152 and Pacman was 148. Clottey and Cotto didn't show fight nights weight.

                      It really does. For a fighter starting at 106lbs, a former flyweight champion, now fighting welterweights, it makes it all the more impressive the fact that the 24 hour rehydration rule means that on fight night, pac (who is not even a welterweight) is fighting junior middleweights & middleweights.

                      How much can we really hold it against him the 145lb catchweight & proposed 150lb catchweight vs cotto & margarito when the 24 rehydration stunt in today's era is in effect?

                      How do we analyze the 24 re hydration rule in historical context?

                      Old time fighters never had to deal with it. But in regards to pacquiao, who in 3 welterweight fights cant even make 147, how can we really criticize him when on fight night he's not even facing welterweights?





                      Lets keep it ****ing real & stop swindling & start snitching.


                      If Pac never fought above 140 he would still be great. What he is doing now is surpassing greatness. I mean C'mon..Floyd fought JMM at WW..lmao..AND DIDNT EVEN MAKE THE AGREED CATCH WEIGHT to make it atleast SOMEWHAT fair? So much for Floyd being a "small' WW. Anyways...Pac couldve retired great after knocking out Ricky in TWO....
