    Title says it all. Williams seems to jump from 147 to 154 to 160 and beating guys from left to right. He even might go up to 168 if the right opponent appears.

    Pacquiao is a monster. Last four fights in four different weight classes maintaining his speed and power. Picking up two lineal championships in those last four fights (130,140) and a WBC strap (135).

    Who has impressed you more?

    Williams can fight at HW, the best weight cutter in the sport

    i really like both of those fighters, but i voted for the pacman for the reason pw has the frame to easily be in those higher weight divisions, while pac at 5'6'' you could say is really a jr. feather or featherweight that's taking on 147lbers and just destroyed the elite 140lber so i'd probably go with manny, but pw is not finished yet or far behind

    Williams will go down to welterweight, which with his 6'1" frame, is quite impressive. But he does this to pick on smaller guys.

    Pacquiao with his 5'6" height and prolly 135 pound frame, goes up in weight to fight naturally bigger guys.

    So to me Pac gets the nod.

    Pacquiao was 16 yrs old when he fought at 106. Floyd won his first golden gloves at 16, in the same weight class.

    :shock:
