    doesn't really matter. We know he's around 145. If he takes a ****, has an empty stomach or is full and hydrated could make up a 5 pound fluctuation in weight

    floyd fans can not decide if floyd is small ww or he is bigger than pac.

    pretty sure the argument then was, pac and floyd were the same size because floyd weighs no more 150lbs on fight night.

    is this a cover up for a possible ped backlash just in case a ko happens?

    i mean the whole argument changed overnight, like some sort of a propaganda.

    on one side , floyd is bigger, stronger and faster than pac and he will ko pac. then you still have the claims of floyd doesnt go up beyond 150 (maybe just to cover their bases jst in case floyd wins and being asked to fight ggg, or is the one getting kod himself).

    so really which is it? is floyd a small ww or he is bigger, stronger than pacman?

    Plain and simple, when people said Floyd and Pac are the same size, they are/were referring to the WEIGHT. Because boxing is measured by weight class. Pac has even outweighed Floyd on occasions. Overall, yes, Floyd is bigger than Pacquiao. But in terms of being a welterweight, both men have consistently been within the limit and weighed close to the same on fight night.

    You guys are picking arguments over **** that doesn't even matter. Pacquiao has been fighting at welterweight for years, why is it only an issue when he's fighting Mayweather?

    I'm in Manny's dressing room. He has arrived for weigh in and is eating a meal BEFORE weighing in. Seriously.

    who says it;s only an issue when pac is fighting floyd?

    i take issue with people who say that floyd will ko pac because floyd is the bigger/stronge guy.

    well, i remember it clearly, it used to be floyd is the same size as pac, or floyd is even smaller than pac. you even doing it now.

    suddenly, everyone floyd fan is saying now that floyd is bigger/stronger than pac.

    can you point to me a post or a thread from a known floyd fan where it says floyd is bigger/stronger than pac before the fight was signed.

    to me, it sounds like a propaganda. maybe to put fear into the pac fans, which is really laughable because pac is the one that is going to fight. my guess, it;s cover up for a possible ped backlash just like marquez, just in case a ko happens.

    again, if floyd is 150lbs on fight night and pac is 148-150, how is floyd bigger then? by 2 lbs? lol.

    I never said Floyd is smaller, that's ridiculous. In terms of weight, they're the same (difference is so small that it doesn't even matter). Floyd is naturally bigger though.
