    Pacquiao has the advantages in certain attributes and skills with a style that can trouble Floyd. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

    So ridiculous. People need to look at the size of pacquiaos legs.. this is where he carries his weight, clearly. You can say what you want about the size of him, I could show you guys who weigh 160 and look around 200lbs (bodybuilders) you can't take what you see as 'oh he can't weigh alot' some people are naturally heavier than others even if they are identical in size and height...

    I mean if we go off both careers and we look back at previous fights, I bet floyd has been outweighed wayyyyy more than manny.

    Stop going on about weight, I mean they'v both fought way bigger guys than they'l be facing on may 2nd so why are we even talking about the weight.

    pacuqiao is shorter, but not necessarily smaller. sure he s got a height and reach deficet -but thats like calling frazier and tyson small heavyweights. its not ur dimensions, its how you use them. almost every p4p fighter i can think of has been called small for their division, its a dated and irrelevant argument. skills , style , speed and power- not size- has and will always be the determining factor.

    pacquiao might be the shorter man, but thats only one aspect of size. he s the thicker man, the wider man, bigger fists, neck, calves, thighs, core, bone structure, skull thickness, jaw structure, if u put pacs skeleton next to floyds, trust me- pacs would be more robust.
    and in terms of muscle structure , we all know how thick and wiry this man is- he got the most muscular fast twitch physique we ve seen in a welter ever.

    calling pacquiao small is stupid. he s been the shorter man and lighter man in every fight of the past TEN years......hasnt made a difference...not once...

    Ok, so Pacquiao has a particular set of skills and a style that will allow him to beat a smarter, more skilled fighter with all the physical advantages. Can't wait to see how that works out.

    Pacquiao via Decision May 2, being the smaller fighter and defeating a bigger fighter in Mayweather who is currently 47-0, p4p king will raise Pacquiao's ATG ranking.

    May 2, Pacquiao: decision.

    I hear this a lot and don't get it. Yes I understand that this is proof that for a damn near 40yr old man Floyd is in amazing shape when away for the ring...BUT since when is a walking around 160lb a big welter??? Are the days of Oscar walking around at 180lb or Vargas 200lb ass that much in the past that we forget how big 147lb fighters use to be???

    I guess I just see a guy who walks around at 160lb as a guy who should be fighting at 140 but not big for 147lb at all. So im not up on this he's huge thing but yes manny used to have to eat 2000+ calories to gain weight, plus you can see by their body structure that Floyd is bigger and come fight night I expect a bigger puncher if he sits on his punches.

    Another excuse. Pac has fought Margo, Oscar, Cotto, Mosley all of which are bigger than him.

    Why are you making all of these excuses? I told your ***** ass before the fight was even signed that you never wanted the fight in the first place and I'll be damned, you're proving me right every day one post and thread at a time.:yep:hi: Keep up the great work you're digging yourself your own grave.
