    It's because he has oragnoutang arms. It's so weird. Even Robinson looked bigger than Lamotta yet he was much the smaller man, but his lanky body made him look similar in size, also factor in Marquez having T rex arms and it just looks funny

        Pac won 6 divisional belts over 9 weight classes before asking for his first CW. Floyd can't unify at his 5th without asking for one.
        Stop it. I remember Floyd fighting Zab at WW and was 146 on fight night while Pac was fighting at 130 and was 145 on fight night

          When you are that good then people would hold you to a higher/different standards, it's a compliment.

            There's no way to tell one way or the other just by looking at someone unless they are on the end of an extreme so you might as well drop this argument.

              Where did this idiotic idea that Floyd is secretly walking around at 160-170 even come from? Have any of you actually seen Floyd next to a lot of these MW/SMW/LHW guys in photos? There is a noticeable size discrepancy in most of them.

                  Its common knowledge that Floyd has always fought closer to his weight class old school style and isn't known as one of those dudes that will put on 15 pounds after the weigh-in, so its mostly a trolls trolling trolls situation.

                    Although Duran did and is smaller than Floyd.

                    But why aren't other WW's offer big challenges? People say that he should fight Martinez, Glovokin and even Andre Ward.

                    Why aren't Cotto, Pacquiao, Broner, Marquez and others asked to take on these much bigger men?

                    So my point is, Mayweather should be too big to fight the Cottos, Pacquiaos of the world.
                    the problem isn't that cherrypicker is too big for guys like cotto and pac... the problem is that cherrypicker won't fight them in their primes

                      See what I'm responding to, another eye test:

                      Ever see Floyd? The guy is a legit midget. He looks about 150 soaking wet
                      My eye test reports Floyd looked a division+ bigger than Marquez
