      Floyd has a small frame for a welter. Floyd could still make 140 without any trouble, as could Pacquiao.

      Floyd literally walks around at about 150lbs. Compare that to, I dunno, Mosely.

      And what the hell is Weebler talking about, 'Marquez and Hatton are small welters'? Dude, Hatton was a career 140lb'er. Don't get me started on Marquez. Just because someone comes up in weight for a fight, doesn't mean that's their natural fighting weight. Marquez had to put on like a stone of fat for the Mayweather fight.

      It's the same as saying 'Tyson wasn't a small heavyweight, Roy Jones was a small heavyweight'

No other LMW with his eyes on a belt would fight in that div at that size they would just move down to welter.
        So Pacquiao is a junior welterweight since he routinely comes in under and has to eat to keep the weight on?

        To me Pac when weighs in above 140, he's fairly described as a welterweight, a small welter, but a welter regardless.

        Are you going to tell me Pacquiao is bigger than Mayweather now? or even that they're the same size. Surely you can see they're not?

              Floyd would win quite easily against a weight-drained GGG.

                Why would you even say that? Floyd refused to step on the scales for his ring weight and clearly looked bigger than Manny who was around 157lbs.

                  Not much different than Duran-Hagler except Hagler is a much bigger, better middleweight than Golovkin, Golovkin might hit a little harder though.

                  I would still favour Floyd over GGG, think he has to style to beat him if he stays away from the ropes.

                    Why are you lying you are pulling numbers out your arse, firstly Manny was 151, Floyd said so because nsac did their day of the fight weights Floyd was just over 149.

                    Floyd could pack on weight we know he can, he didn't need to against Manny because even though they are similar weights Floyd is the stronger in the clinch and taller guy.

                      You have nothing to worry about. Mayweather would never dream of fighting a monster like GGG at 154. Did you forget he made Canelo fight him at 152? Where do you get this small welterweight BS? Mayweather is a big welterweight and he made Pacquiao look tiny by comparison." Small welterweight" Mayweather was unable to make 144 years ago for the Marquez fight. Why do you think the probably 160 pound Mayweather always refuses the fight night weigh in that only takes a few seconds?
