    Pacquiao could cut down to 140 for the weigh in without too much trouble, he could be better as the level of competition isn't as good and he can bully smaller opponents more, similar to Hatton when he was down there.

    Come fight night there won't be that much between them in terms of size, Pacquiao came in against Hatton and De La Hoya at 148 or above and I wouldn't have thought Floyd would have been much higher if any at all.

    You say it like if he cut down to 140 he would be bigger than everyone there but its not true.

    I think unlike Pac, Floyd's best weight class at this point is clearly 147

    I'm saying if he does cut down to 140 he will be able to fill out to a good weight on fight night for a junior welter, similar to Hatton.

    Mayweather doesn't seem to have any interest in trying to cut weight for any of his fights and hasn't for a few years now which is why he's comfortable at 147 without needing to cut.

    Personally I don't think there's much between them in terms of weight and there won't be on the night if they ever fight, it's just Pacquiao you feel could cut down easily where as Mayweather doesn't seem interested in even attempting to put himself through that.

    I don't know about Mayweather's fight night weight. It hasn't been given in like 3-4 years. Someone said that in the Ring Magazine there's an article that says he weighed 152 on fight night against Marquez but where did they get that information? Looking at him physically he looks about 155 but its hard to tell.

    I don't think he's that big, I can both coming in within 2 or 3lb of each other.

    I agree with this.

    At this point, I think Pac is a devestating guy in the lww division ecspecially, and is interesting at ww because he is so good he can take on guys that naturally outweigh him.

    If Floyd is a good as he claims to be, than it shouldn't matter if Pac is on any performance enhancers, cause Floyd will still win right? :yep.

    Damnit just make the Fight already fellas!

    No worse than the *******s who say Pac will KO PBF.:deal PBF could very well stop Pac on cuts. The guy busts up easily and is easy to hit. I expect PBF to take over the second half of the fight in which I expect he won't miss with his straight right hand. PBF hits alot harder than most people think and always hits guys with shots they don't see and as reckless as Pac is coming in off balanced I can very easily see him getting hit with something big and being TKOed.
