    This was also at a time when people were saying that he should be fighting guys like Guerrero, Ortiz, Alexander, and fvking Andre Berto. :lol:
    Nowadays its Broner, Thurman and Garcia. But Pacquiao showed why he's a class above these so-called "young prime fighters" He's that good. :good

    Weight is not the only criteria in determining size. Marquez probably outweighed Mayweather fight night yet he clearly was the smaller man.

    Actually, in boxing, it is the only critera.

    Thats why there isnt "reach divisions" or "height divisions".....there are weight divisions though.

    And even then, its not like Floyd is some Paul Williams like freak of nature. Hes an inch or so taller with slightly longer reach.

    When was the last time Mayweather fought a slick, black, at his very prime/peak, undefeated, top p4p fighter?

    Well, he does weigh less than many LWW in the ring.

    Many LWW's get in the ring near 155(Like Lamont Peterson)

    In the ring, hes basically the same size as Danny Garcia

    Those Ariza shakes were something else. Had 165lb men like Cotto and Mosley acting like they got touched by the hand of god.

    Great! The Floyd is on PEDs talk is back.. Maybe now you won't ignore my question that I asked a while ago...

    Oh yeah? What does he do to raise suspicion?*

    You say he duck tough fighters
    You say he pay off his cherry picked opponents
    You say he is a coward

    With all that said, why would he need PEDs? If he was on them, why would he be scared of any fighter? Also, I thought 'health comes first'.. PEDs are terrible for you health in the long run.. What's the point of using PEDs if your scared of everyone and ducking everyone?

    I understand that weight separates the divisions in boxing but that doen't meant the fighters are the same size. Duran weighed the same as Hearns when they fought. Floyd is a bigger man than Pac. Like I said before, Pac is the same size as Marquez and Marquez looked much smaller in the ring than Mayweather. The fact that Floyd and Manny have the same calve size shows this.

    I've never bought into Pacquiao having this phenomenal power, I've always thought he beat guys on high workrate and volume punching more than power. It does seem he's lost some power, which is strange when you consider that in boxing, it's usually tha last thing to go.

    On the flip side I think hes fighting smarter now, so he doesn't commit as much to stopping guys, just beating them seems to be the priority, and it should be.

    Yeah his power seems really faded. It's nothing like it was. He's caught Bradley, and Rios clean, and nothing happened. Innocent to proven guilty though.
