    Ballooned up? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? Pac looked more shredded and lean that Cotto. Against DLH maybe he was still the little guy fighting big men, but against Cotto he was legit.

    And Pac stood to gain much more. If Cotto won he'd just be a WW beating up a guy ballooned up to 145, right? Whereas if Pac won he got to be the first to win 7 titles in 7 different divisions, despite the fact that he fought for the WW title at below the WW limit. Pac was fighting for legacy far more than Cotto was, I would argue.

    Cotto looked about as drained as Pac looked ballooned. Ballooned is just a term used to described a fighter who is moving up above his natural weightclass, like drained is used to describe a fighter who is cutting below it. In either case, the fighter is facing an obstacle to surmount

    If Cotto had beaten Pac at 145 he would've gotten an incredible amount of respect. Obviously.

    More than Pac got for beating Cotto? Not to mention the belt that Pac won.

    No.

    Ballooned is used to describe a fighter who has or looks like he has put on way to much weight while moving up.

    They both looked perfectly fine. Pac didn't look bulky and Cotto didn't look drained.

    It was obvious JMM was not going to beat Mayweather with or without the extra couple pounds, and like I said, according to you a few pounds don't mean much.

    Larios is still at feather with pac is a WW ffs. At least JMM is at lightweight while floyd is still a smallish WW. Pac was probably a full blown WW when he fought Larios, who's size advantage at SB was the main reason he was so successful. Add to that the difference in class between JMM and Larios, and it proves floyd and manny get judged differently. You need to be consistent.

    LMFAO...U KNOW U GET OWNED WHEN U IGNORING THE FACTS..U JUST SAID THAT EVEN IF TEAM PAC DID SAY 5 DAYS IT DONT MEAN ****...**** THAT CUZ IT DID MEAN SOMETHING..OTHERWISE ROACH WOULDN'T HAVE SAID IT..

    U ****ING IDIOT *******S ARE FUNNY IN HOW YOUR SO QUICK TO GET ALL OFFENSIVE WHEN U GET PROVED WRONG.

    TYPICAL *******..GETS PROVED WRONG AND THAN TRYS TO DEFEND HIMSELF....

    YOUR THEORY IN FLOYD IS A "CHICKEN" WOULD HOLD TRUE HAD HE NOT FOUGHT SHANE...SHANE IS MORE DANGEROUS AND A MUCH MORE STYLE PROBLEM FOR FLOYD THAN MANNY FOR STARTERS...2ND OFF SHANE BRINGS THE SIZE AND FLOYD GETS OUT OF HIS GAME AT TIMES AGAINST A BIGGER FIGHTER....UR FAULT...UR STILL TRYING TO SAY FLOYD DUCKING THE BEST WHEN IN FACT HE IS FIGHTING SHANE WHOM IS CONSIDRED THE BEST WW BY MOST....

    YOU HAVE BEEN OWNED:deal:hi:

    It's sad that FMJ has gone so low in terms of cheap shots at Pac. Pac indeed filed a lawsuit and doesn't like his foul words during interviews, but PAC ALWAYS RESPECTED FLOYD'S BOXING ACHIEVEMENTS. Sad that FMJ is blowing cheap shots at Pac by belittling Pac's achievements. It's a sign of jealousy and bitterness. I'm just glad that the other party (pac) isn't fighting back and just continue to focus on his craft while smiling.

    Of all people, Floyd should be the last to discredit pac's fight at 145. Pac went up from 140 to 145 to fight a lregit welter who weighed 146 in his last fight.

    Floyd fought a great 130 pond marquez who wasn't so great at 135 and made him come up all the way to welterweight and robbed him of 2 pounds lol

    what a ****en hypocrite

    please explain how pacquiao is a WW when he fought larios? and how is floyd a smallish WW when he looked like a tank besides jmm who admitted he was blotaed up to 148 on fight night. jmm even said that he felt that there was a 20 pounds difference that night. probably exaggerated but it means that floyd was way bigger than him.

    Floyd is a smal WW man....thats not even in question..go look margarito and even mosley..both are "bigger men" at their shoulders..floyd may be longer than some WW's but by no means is he near the "big" category....guys like williams, cotto, mosley, margarito, cintron are all big ww's...mosley u could argue is avg as with cotto but both are mos def towards the bigger guys...floyd is not :deal:hat

    Of course he was shitting on Pac again. He is p4p#2 and Pac is the top dog. He can't stand it. He's becoming obsessed.
