    I agree Floyd is naturally tall and lean, but Pacquiao is not a bulky / stocky guy either. He has a lean muscle mass as well. The difference is he's a shorter guy . Just because they can both weigh in around 147 doesnt mean there the same size. It's clear Pac can't weigh in at any more then 147 , while Floyd seems like he can bulk to 154 no problem, with plenty of muscle mass.

    Floyd looks like he's got bigger bones, I judge this by looking at the wrists. Manny looks like he's got small bones, Floyd average. In fact it looked to me like he had bigger bones than 50 Cent in a pic of the two together. They both have broad shoulders. When you consider the bigger reach, bigger wrist and half inch in height then Floyd definitely looks slightly bigger. I would say Floyd is a half to full weight class bigger than Manny. When we're talking ATGs it's not much of a size advantage but it definitely exists.
    Someone said Manny's fists are bigger, well I'ld be interested to see the proof. It's possible but considering his wrists are noticable smaller I'd bet they aren't.

    Obviously you are lying here. Nobody knows what is Floyd real weight against Hatton, Marquez, Mosley and Ortiz because he refused to be weighted by unofficial HBO weight scale. I remember he just as big as those guys when I saw them fight. Obviously he was much bigger than Marquez during the fight if you remember the weight cheating fiasco.

    Yet the talk of him having to eat 7000 calories a day that you've bought in to only started after he moved up through the weights, so what difference does eating all of those calories make if he weighed that anyway? Think about it.

    The truth is they're both the same size, the difference being Pacquiao was prepared to cut large amounts of weight to fight smaller guys in lighter weight categories where as Mayweather was happy to move up rather than cut too much.

    It looks like Pacquiao is the smaller guy because he jumped from 130 to 147 so quickly but when you start looking at the numbers and see that Pacquiao weighed more in the ring in his first fight at lightweight than Mayweather did for his first title fight at welterweight then you can see that isn't the case.

    Joint size can be deceiving. Narrow joints are consistent with small boned people however for large boned people the joints might be narrow or large. I personally have big bones, large hands, but thin wrists, which has always been a problem boxing and in other athletic endeavors. The thin joints have trouble dealing with the force my body can generate.

    If we go by the old ecto, meso, endo only endomorphs naturally have large joints. Your ideal mesomorph can have joints that range from thin to medium.

    Floyd is bigger at his chest and shoulders which is usually what you talk about when you say someone is "bigger."

    The way you know if someone is bigger is by what weight they can still make. Pac can still make 140 easy and Mayweather cant make it easily. Mayweather is the bigger guy.
