    Fight will be at 147 if it happens but at any weight floyd is just to talented and smart....he would win by UD or late round TKO

    Why should it be a catch weight when its for a belt. Manny isnt the exception the rules....if he wants to fight at welterweight his opponents shouldnt have to way any less than the welterweight limit or he can just move back down to junior welterweight

    140 would be the best weight for PAC. But PAC is capable of beating Floyd at any weight. Floyd's best chance at beating Manny is at 147....but again...capable of beating PAC at any weight.

    2 of Manny's top 3 or 4 performances ever have been at welterweight. There is no weight or other advantage there for Floyd over Manny. You could even argue that Floyd is better JR WW and lightweight than he is at WW. Manny has only fought once at jr WW and has sometimes looked average at lightweight/featherweight.

    That's what I find silly about Pac fans saying that Manny should still be viewed favorably over Floyd in the history books even if he loses on 3/13. Complete horse****. Two men, in their primes, at a weight that both are comfortable and great. Winner will go down as the better fighter.

    Diddo.....just another example how Mayweather will never get credit for what he does in the ring.....He knows this and people wonder why he can be an insecure ***** sometimes. If I was a 5 weight champion and undefeated I'd think I was King **** too....we all would so people need stop acting like they are so humble and well wishing...this is america for gods sake...

    130- floyd wide UD 120-108
    135- floyd close but clear UD 116-112
    140- Pac TKO floyd rd 11
    147- Pac disputed SD
    154- floyd wide UD 117-111

    cant be bothered explaining the intricacies of why, speed adv here, power/weight ratio there, etc. i just reckon thats how itd go- taking into consideration how they fared when they were at those weights. mind you- pac has improved tremendously technically since 130.

    pacs weight in in his last 3 fights were 138, 142, 144. This when he was fed 5 times a day with full breakfast on weigh-in. floyd on the other couldn't weight below 146 even when he had to pay for it.

    just goes to show 147 is floyds advantage.

    because it will be more of an even match up?

    like you said at 147 pac stands no chance.

    Your post contradicts itself. First you say that Pac makes adjustments, and then you say that he doesn't stop (doing the same old thing) coming in. Which fight did Pacquiao have to adjust strategy? All I have seen is the same old, straight ahead, attack with little to no defense. That is precisely why Pacquiao will lose. Because he is a fighter, not a boxer.

    This only shows that making weight with ease is an advantage for Mayweather, doesn't give him an advantage in the fight for reasons I mentioned above. He looks better at 142 and 144 than he did at any other weight.

    154 but at a catchweight where his opponent must weigh 150...not 147 because floyd is there and he will never beat him:hi::hi:
