Real champs should look UP for a challenge and NOT DOWN

You can take it or leave it. I'm just mentioning what he said, and I don't see any reason for him to lie about it. They claimed he was afraid of the man for years, so I don't think he needs to add extra fluff to the victory.show me verifying medical data, because this is flat out wrong.
did pacquaio grow between the algieiri fight and the floyd fight?
becayse he was 143 lbs against algieri, six months before the floyd fight.
not sure why you guys can't just admit that floyd is bigger than manny. manny was a 112 lber ffs
. during most of their careers they were several weight classes apart.
They never appeared to be that far apart in weight at the same age to me. Wasn't there some kind of image that showed they basically began at the same weight (at the same age) and were similar in weight going up? Not sure about that but thought I saw it somewhere.
You really believe Pacquiao fought at less than the welterweight limit during the Mayweather fight? He weighed in at 145 and didn't rehydrate 2 lbs?Comment

I find that really bizarre, as well. Floyd himself said multiple times before the fight that he's the bigger guy and a big welterweight. Yet his fans act like he's some blown up SFW.show me verifying medical data, because this is flat out wrong.

Why the F would some guy who can weigh in at 147 come in at 145, just so he can hydrate over 2lb the next day.You can take it or leave it.

Huh. Manny weighed at welter in 4 of the 5 fights you listed? Last I checked welter was 141-147.manny pacquiao was never a welterweight, especially when he was at is best best around 2009. weighed 138 for hatton, ffs. weigned 142 against de la hoya. 144 against margarito. 143 against marquez. 143 vs algieri.
he's not a welterweight, man.
floyd was allegedly seriously dehydrated to make 147 to fight manny. so he is a welterweight.
so he was fighting a smaller guy. can't see why you can't understnad that. manny fought at WW for the money, not becuse he couldn't fight at 140 lbs. he was 138 lbs against hatton ffs, which was at the peak of the floyd - manny feud. when floyd was in horrid IRS debt he missed weight against marquez, and it cost him well over half a million bucks
. hatton - pacquiao and marquez - mayweather were only around 4 months apart.
these guys are not the same size. get that through your head, larrbear!
I'll go check since its been decades since I had to check thatComment
