    Or if Floyd doesn't man up. . .


    I know haters and excuse makers will say "that's BS, Pac is way too big. . . "

    But really, he's not. . . Gamboa and Pac are pretty much the exact same size. . .


    I'm sorry, but if you can't get up for this fight, then you don't deserve feet.

    Even if pac does have 5-7 pounds on Gamboa on fight night, what's wrong with Pac being the bigger man for once?

    It won't be much different than we see between most guys who fight regularly in the same weight class. .

    Ok. So Gamboa's last fight was at FW, and Pacquiao has been fighting at WW for several years. Somehow though, they are now the same size. Interesting.

    Gamboa needs to get some good wins at LW first then he can fight Pac at 140 and I wouldn't complain. Gamboa vs JMM at lightweight is also interesting.

    Skillz pay Billz.. so since Manny is one dimensional/amateurish/can adjust/brawler.. Gamboa should have an issue.. LOL Let's see him first with some tune-ups at the higher weights..

    Uhhh, yes, seeing how Gamboa was cutting a lot of weight to make 126, and Pac gains a few pounds during his training camps. . .

    I would GUARANTEE Gamboa was rehydrating to 140ish pounds when fighting at 126. . . There's probably some HBO footage out there to prove his rehydration weights. .

    This is a noob mistake, and noob logic. . .

    Pacquiao, and Gamboa are within 5-8 "natural pounds" of each other . . .

    Of course, brah. . You're a real boxing fan, and you understand how "size" works. . .

    But he would DEFINITELY at least have to take on 1-2 fights first at 135, and maybe a fight at 140. . . Seeing how he was planning on fighting at 135 from here on out anyway.

    So this winter would def be too soon. . But Spring-Summer 2013 is def. conceivable. . .

    Ok, so he rehydrated to 138 pounds against Ponce. . . So yes, he would definitely need at least 2 fights, and a year to add 5 pounds of muscle. . .

    Basically, right now there would be a 10 pound difference on fight night - we see this ALL THE TIME!

    But give Gamboa a year, and there would be about a 5 pound difference on fight night. . . yeah. . . what a HUGE size advantage pac would have. . .


    It's not hard to tell that Gamboa, and Pacquiao are essentially the same damn size. . .
