Pacquiao: ‘I’m small for a welterweight’

[Sugar Adam Ali]

you don't seem too interested in the discusson-you want to bash anyone who thinks floyd is a small ww for reasons I am not sure of.



Interesting points. Yes, he has always seemed to fight around his weight. Despite his father saying he could, I just don't see it.

It would be very interesting if he were able to make 140 and fight Danny for the lineal JWW title.

I always wished floyd had gone down to 140 when he was younger to fight hatton for his lineal 140 title,,,
That would have been some GOAT type stuff to beat #1 welter baldomir, go up and fight #1 154 oscar, and then back down to 140 for the #1 hatton..
3 different weight classes, 3 #1 champs, in 3 straight fights,, that would have been an amazing feat

Mayweather dominated Marquez, can we say the same thing about Pacquiao?

Floyd cheated Marquez on the scales by coming in 2 pounds over the limit. Besides, Floyd is naturally biggger than Pacquiao and Marquez so it isn't a fair comparison. Nevertheless, whenever Floyd didn't cheat and came in on the agreed upon limit, he fared worse than Pacquiao (Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, De La Hoya).

Says the guy who weighs in at 152 on fight night. The trads are gonna flip this to a whole nother level

Marquez and Hatton also entered fights in the 150s. To say they are natural welterweights would be ******ed.

Excuses. Another way to duck Floyd as if he's not small himself

Floyd ducked Margarito, Williams, Pacquiao, and Martinez. He will probably duck Lara too. These are mammoth ducks, so Floyd is in no position to point the finger at others when it comes to ducking.

Manny needs to go back to 140.... I think that would be his best weight right now...

Same could be said for floyd,,, his power would be much better at 140...

floyd and manny both get alot of flack for not scoring any recent ko's, but they are up in weight and hardly cut anything.. It would be like GGG going to 175, his power wouldnt be the same... Floyd and manny at 140 would knock guys outs, no doubt

There is no way in hell Floyd can make 140. He could only get down to 146 for Marquez.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Floyd didnt want to make 144,,, he could have, but decided it would be too much work, the dude barely makes 150 and doesnt rehydrate,, He could easily make 140 and then rehydrate to back on the weight to 148-50

Great post.........

Excellent post! Excellent post! Floyd is at least a FULL weight class bigger than Manny.

Styles make fights, making your comment irrelevant. Pacquaio is still quite a bit smaller than Mayweather is. Floyd looks like a guy who belongs at welterweight. Manny does not but still wins convincingly even without knockouts. It all comes down to each fighter's style so comparing how Pac beat Cotto or how Mayweather beat Marquez is totally irrelevant...

Would he really want to go back down a weight class or two?

Fighting at 147 helps him because he doesn't have to worry about weight at all so he can focus 100% on just training for the fight. I remember there was an interview a while back that he liked being at 147 because he didn't have to try to make weight at all.

Good thing he doesn't have the mayweather coward gene.

[New England]

of course he's small.

Floyd is a middleweight at fight night, marquez confirmed it that floyd is at least 16lbs heavier than him.
