    Weight divisions are EVERYTHING. **** this bulll**** about "size". Look, if someone can make 140, they are a 140 fighter. If they can make 147, they are a 147 fighter etc....

    Why are people insist on overcomplicating bull****? And being extremely flawed with their logic while at it?

    because these weight classes werent always around, and were only made so promoters and title belts could milk more money from people.

    Yes, before there were less weight classes. Anyone who advocates catchweights but whines about boxing having too many weight-classes is a ****ing hypocrite.

    At least a Floyd fan here admits that they are verrrry similar in size. Then let them fight at 140lbs.

    This is acceptable to Floyd fans, isn't it?

    Size could matter but who cares? Paul Williams outnumbers his challengers in every tale of the tape and none seems to complain.

    Remember also that Cotto when he started fighting he was at the minimum weight, fighting people like Ivan Calderon and such.

    Pac should challenge Cotto at Welterweight, it will make his win/loss more legit.

    "5 reach advantage is too much. That's why they are in a different weight class.

    PAC is smaller bro. I mean it's no big deal, but PAC just isn't as big as Floyd. height, reach and overall build is just a tad smaller. Those physical demensions for Floyd are not up to date. I'm not even sure the PAC demensions are up to date. AH....Yes...that was from when PAC was a 130 or 135 lb fighter. But it's clear PAC is smaller just based on recent pics.
