    you guys are already making excuses for when Pac gets tapped.

    Theres a reason why Pac was coming in 147 while fighting at 135, and Floyd was coming in 135 fighting at 135.

    Pac is a more muscular dude. Floyd is leaner and longer. But they are the same weight, and in boxing thats what we go by. Weight.

    this is a very interesting part that most people overlook like if they fight I think Mayweather will be under more pressure he has not lost where as Pac has lost countless times before and people would expect him to lose against May.Even though May would put on a clinic against Pac I think the pressure will be huge on money.

    Do you and your cousin share a similiar body fat ratio. Also we're not talking about 3 inches, we're talking about 1.5

    Both Floyd and Pac are ripped at their weigh in and even fighting weights.

    Pac no more bulked up than Floyd did. People get bigger over time, they carry more weight, their metabolism slows down etc.

    People are forgetting that Floyd fought more fights at 130 than he did at any other weight class.

    Does that mean he "bulked up" to make 147 too?

    Floyd also never did what Pac did and cut 15 lbs to make weight, like when Pac was fighting at 126/130 and getting in the ring on the 140's.

    I don't think Pacquiao would really hurt Mayweather with it. I think it'd be more so down to, if Mayweather was struggling with it, the frustration May might get. Kind of like what happened with Bradley, although much much closer.

    Mayweather is under more pressure to win everytime he fights.

    Pac - 151 vs Bradley

    Floyd -150 vs Hoya, Cotto, Alvarez

    = Floyd is bigger? WTF?

    Sure, if you want to go down to an insignificant level, sure, Ill agree with you for the sake of it.

    Floyd is marginally taller, with longer arms.

    And Pac is marginally stockier and more muscular.

    If that make Floyd bigger in your eyes,then fine. This argument over an inch and a half is stupid

    Why is there no pressure for Pac to win? Because he's not as good and has lower expectations?

    He could win by stoppage or decision but more likely by decision. I know you've heard "that's why we fight the fights". Because there have been bigger upsets in the sport than this.

    Floyd knows boxing better than all of us and until he faces him there is good reason to suspect that he's worried about the outcome. It doesn't matter what anybody says. Actions speak louder than words.

    Completely irrelevant to the thread.

    But Pacquiao gets hit a fair bit, and he's not completely used to having things his own was so he wouldn't get quite as frustrated by it.

    Nobody knows. That's why we fight the fights.
