    if and when floyd beats pacman, lets not start the whole he was too small nonsense. I f pacman agrees to fight floyd than its on him. Floyd didnt beat marquez by size, it was all skill, he was to great of a boxer and too fast, which will prove to be the same against pac. floyd doesnt use his size he uses his skills, and he doesnt even commit to his punches he is just trying to score. if he wanted to knock jmm out he could of but he wanted to prove a point, if he knocks jmm out everyone says oh he was just too big, but know ke masterfully outboxed him over 12 rounds, he made a pound for pound elite fighter look like an amateur

    go down to your gym and fight a few times at your natural weight. then bulk up and fight guys with similar skills at that weight.

    the difference between peak performance and being a split second slower can easily lose you a fight.

    pac's looked great so far moving up - but dont write off that move as if it doesnt really matter. a lot of times it really does.

    Size does matter even if the bigger man doesn't use it directly against the smaller man. It matter's if the added weight slows down the smaller fighter. It matters if the smaller fighter can't hurt the bigger man even if he's able to catch him flush with power shots. Is it the most important aspect of the fight? Usually no, but it can definitely play a big part in the outcome.

    Have you ever had Wrestling in Physical Education?
    Usually, the "weight classes" are about 5-10 lbs apart when teams are made up due to the number of students in the class. Since most have similar "non" skills especially like in Middle School, weight pretty much makes all the difference.

    Here's the point to why size matters. If Marquez had fought Floyd at 130 or 135, Floyd would still be fast if not faster and just as sharp on his reflexes. But Marquez would of risked taking some shots to get in there to get his combinations, like he did against Diaz, Pac, and Casa.

    Marquez couldn't risk taking too many shots against a bigger stronger Floyd. Do you see the difference size makes in that aspect of the fight game. Marquez would of had no problem taking Floyds shots at a lower weight, but with all the added weight that Floyd had on fight night his Jabs where like power shots.

    Why can't the Floyd-Boys admit this?

    He was a Welter fighting a Lightweight who was taylor-made for him. The pos didn't even make the contractual catch-weight and wouldn't step on the scales for the "unofficial" weigh-in on fight night either!

    Admit it was nothing but a tune-up/pay-day and wait to see what he does next.

    If PBF is as great as he and his Boyfans think, shouldn't he be moving UP in weight, or at least fighting other Welters?

    Sh*t, he won't even fight the near-40 year old Mosley!!!

    Agree, except for one thing, Floyd was fighting a veteran FW who had fought at LW only twice.

    Idiot thread. Remove Floyd's balls from your mouth.
