      Guess Pac wants to be above his best weight then , which makes no sense at all when Pac is calling the shots , or maybe he wants to make JMM very slow too handicap him out of the fight , that seems more to Pacs recent MO , he dont care if it is a great trilogy , he dont want the tough fight JMM brings when he has speed so he will get a handicap somehow !!


      or your 140 is BS take your pick .

        He's grown into WW a bit better, but on fight night I see this being the most evenly fought match in a while. Neither of them blow up after the weigh in. That's a Myth.

        Pacquiao was pushing 165 lb Clottey around like it was nothing, Hammered 160 lb Shane, 154 lb Hatton (who seemed to out muscle Floyd), and best yet 165 lb 5'11 Margarito (even bigger than the one Shane fought, people seem too forget).

        Floyd is the smallest dude he'd have fought in a long time. And the lightest hitter.

        based on styles though, good fight. Floyd lands accurate but get's seriously out worked from round 3 on and loses a surprisingly lopsided decision. On top of that I see him getting decked at some point but getting up and turtling.

        I expect Floyd to have his moments and land a solid amount of straight rights that Pacquiao will probably walk through.

        Thats my take, I just can't see Floyds usual game plan doing it's job. Look at the trouble he had with Hatton.
        good assessment and everything, but Pac won't be able to use his high workrate against a counter puncher, as quick and accurate like Floyd, and what boxer have you seen walk through floyds lead rights? When shane decked Floyd not once but twice what did Floyd do? he actually came out of the turtle, stared being the aggressor immediately in the same round and started setting traps by going turtle, letting mosley throw a body shot to set up the same right that decked Floyd, yet Floyd jabbed and hooked as soon as he threw that body shot. its not the speed, power, countering that really matters, its the fact Floyd is just smarter and will adapt, Pac trying to use a high workrate will fall into floyds countering game plan, manny is going to have to actually box

          bc this makes sense...you idiots are ******ed

            Wfebeater won't turn in to a dragon with Pacquiao ... he's too scared to do that. he's gonna do exactly like Mosley and run for his life.

              Pacquiao enters the ring at 148+, Floyd (From the looks of it, only assuming) 153-155. So at most 7 lbs.

                shane and floyd looked very similar.....do you honestly think shane was only about 154 when he fought floyd?....

                do you not see how fat jmm was vs floyd compared to the jmm who fought katsidis weighing 145....did you not notice how huge floyd was vs jmm?...

                putting those toghether, floyd was defintely 160ish in his last two fights.....
                NOPE, if you listen to the interview, floyd said he wanted to come in around 150 for shane but he said he was "in such tip top shape that he couldnt gain the weight" he was 147 or 149(cant fully remember) and couldnt get any higher. he said he ate twice but still gained nothing because his body was in such great shape.

                    think about it like this.. floyd had a considerable size advantage on shane, meaning he's thicker and wider and shane was bigger than manny. so its probably more than you'd think. as far as speed goes, theyre different animals. manny is a faster offensively but floyd is quicker counter puching so really, pick your poison. for power i'd definetly give the advantage to manny
                    Bro! Floyd weighed in at 46, and fight night he was 47. How the hell was he bigger than Mosley?
                    I swear you either don't know and just make shyt up, or you're ****in ******ed.
                    Floyd is 5'7", Manny is 5'6". Floyd has never came in over 150 in his career. Size don't mean shyt, Baldi was 16/17 pounds heavier than Floyd, Marg was 16/17 pounds heavier than Manny.
                    They are both small WW period... Shyt Sweet Pee is 5'5" but they never hyped up the size thing. It's all a media hype trick...

                      There will be a little difference but nothing special cause Mosley was bigger than May.
