Pac is fighting those common opponents with a bigger handicap than Floyd. Just cause he's performed better against most of them doesn't mean that he is the same size as Floyd. Pac and Hopkins both fought Oscar de la Hoya. That sort of reasoning doesn't mean ****
PAc fought Dlh and Hatton AFTER Floyd. Who wins more impressively does not matter except in the eye of the beholder. Second, PAc fighting Diaz instead of Campbell for a lw title is comical since Morales nor Diaz deserved their shot. Third, Floyd has proven himself just like PAc has so you have no point other than siding with PAc while Floyd's fans side with Floyd.
There was no handicap when PAc fought Dlh or Hatton. Second, you bring up Pac performing better against common opponents than Floyd, not me. Third, nobody is saying PAc and Floyd are the same size. They are only a division apart, so stop bringing up where PAc came from. Rakim said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at"!
Floyd and PAc were tall for their divisions when they started out at the lower weights. Floyd is not as big as Shane, AM, Berto, Cintron, Clottey, naturally...and maybe not even big as Cotto yet he is more skilled than all of those guys.
This is why its a pain in the ass watching floyd fight sometimes. He has all the ability you could ever ask for in a fighter but seems to be content on cruising to victory and if a knockout comes so be it. A prime example is when he fought corley. Every time mayweather let his hands go corley was in massive trouble but floyd never kept it up instead choosing to go the distance and win a wide UD.
If the man can't make the Jr.WW limit, then he is a WW. Regardless of his frame or power. Thats how I've always seen it. It has nothing to do with Floyd, the same rule applies to everyone. The day Pacquiao will no longer be able to make 135, I'll say he's a Jr.WW. But because he made 138 in his last fight when he didn't even have to, that shows to me he could still make 135 if he tried. Floyd was contracted to make 144 in his last fight and couldn't. How the hell would he make 140?
Floyd also hurt his hand in that fight, and had bad hands at that time. A win is a win. No sense in beating a guy up badly if you don't have to. Floyd tries to stop guys, so to say he doesn't try to stop a guy is ridiculous as all fighter want the ko, and when they don't get one are content to win on points.
Roy Jones made 175, but he was not a full fledged lhw. PAc is not at 135 so why are we talking about PAc and 135. Who knows why Floyd couldn't make 144. He has his own reasons. Maybe Floyd thought he wouldn't feel healthy who knows. That does not mean Floyd is a natural ww.
coming from a guy who claims to be former world champ and knows alot about boxing...lol this is boxing 101..the basics of the basics... oh man....how dumb can you be???:rofl
