    And he struggled.

    The smaller Pacquiao beat the sheet out of Margarito who was bigger than Maidana.

      Maidana rehydrated that much, man he should have looked like ***** in the ring rehydrating that much. He put on a show, much respect to a 12-1 underdog who made the fight entertaining.

      And no Floyd, you did not fight the way you did to please the fans, Maidana brought it.
      Good effort, waiting to rewatch the fight so I can actually score it..it was definitely a close one.

        Floyd has a strange body. Everyone thought Mayweather looked bigger despite the weight difference.

The only reason Floyd doesn't bulk up like other welterweights is because he has a lot of speed but no power. Bulking up would cost him his main strength while not improving his power enough to really hurt people.

          It's not the weight that's an issue; it's Floyd denying Maidana a legal comission-approved glove.
          Wrong. Pacquaio and Mayweather are natural welterweights. They walk around that weight year-round, no problems. Maidana on the other hand DOES NOT NATURALLY walk around between 147 and 150 lbs. Not even close. And this goes for Adrien Broner as well as many Welterweights.

          Bradley also walks around well above 160 lbs. But the difference with Bradley is that he just doesn't rehydrate so much on fight night, he stays between 147 lbs and 150 lbs. But then balloons back up in weight in between fights. Mayweather and Pacquaio don't do this kinda thing.

              Maidana is not Margarito and Margarito is not Maidana.

              And after the fight with Margarito, Pacquaio has never fought another guy @ 150 lbs again. Even Pacquaio said he got hurt in that fight. And Roach admitted that the size difference was an issue.

                    Floyd has thin bones I believe, which is why he has hand problems. Bones are what weigh the most in you're body.

                    And yeah, 165lb is deep into Super Middleweight territory

                      Floyd's weight is what they declare and his camp has been lying on fight night for a while now...
