    So obviously some of you saw max kellmeran say Pac > floyd because pac started off at a lower weight


    My question is this.


    Pacquiao first pro fight was at 16 years old at 106 pounds
    Floyd won national golden gloves at 16 at 106



    so age for age they were pretty much fighting at the same weight give or take. Does this change Kellermans assessment of Pacquioa coming from a lower weight?

    Do you not have eye*****? Could you not see the size difference between the two of them in the ring??? lololol.

    Cleary Pac going up through 140, 147, 150 was more impressive.

    I remember people thinking he was too small to fight Morales at 130lbs. Mayweather started his career at 130.

    lol what?

    bro they fought at the same weights at the same ages roughly. Floyd is just older so he got to certain weights first. You can't be this stupid

    This topic has been around for so long.

    Throughout their careers, their was never more than a few pounds between them when at similar ages

    But people will argue like apes over those few pounds and how important they were.

    When they were the same age, they always had a very similar fighting weight.

    The main difference is the Pac used to cut 10-15 lbs when he was fighting at 130 and below.

    Whereas Floyd tended to fight closer to his actual weight.

    The evidence is all there on YouTube in their fight weights

    And this is why Max has been criticized by many in the boxing world, his assessment on this is terrible and easily disputed logic

    Mayweather was a full blown welterweight, Pacquiao has never been one.

    And please, people have been pointing at fight night weights, but they forget that Pacquiao was able to make catchweight against Algieri while Mayweather wasn't able to do so. Only proof you need.

    Plus, Mayweather himself said he's bigger than Pacquiao.

    you also have to realize that floyd drained himself to make their agreed weigh in limit.

    What makes Mayweather a "full blown WW" and Pacquiao not??

    Pacquiao hasn't fought at or below 140 in 7 years.

    How many years does he have to fight at WW before he becomes a "full blown WW"?

    Bob Arum has had a pretty deep 140 stable lately. Manny would take fights there if he could make weight.

    Mayweather fans used this as a good excuse for his ducking saying his weight gain meant Pacquiao was on steroids. Now they're trying to reverse it.

    mayweather seems bigger but pac weighted more when they fought.

    its probably because of pacs huge roided head though

    Shut up stupid you were one the people saying Mayweather was scared and wasn't brave enough to get in the ring with Pac. All along he and his promoter were lying to his fans that they were serious about making the fight. Don't even try to dispute this because there is video of Pac own trainer attesting to it.

    Come to think of it, you even picked Pac to win.:patsch

    Manny weighed in on the night of the fight at 156lbs while Floyd refused to weigh in and clearly looked like the bigger fighter. Floyd was at the very least 156 lbs in that fight. it wouldnt surprise me floyd was at or close 160 in that fight. But floyd wants to run around telling people he can barely make 147 even though he couldnt make a 144 catchweight against Marquez. Floyds fulla****.
