    I was reading a well researched article about how height and wrist size relate to a fighters ideal weight. According to the formula used in the article, Floyds height and wrist size call for an ideal fight weight of 146. Cotto is short, but his larger wrist size(which, of course is a direct coorilation to skeleton size/thickness) indicates his ideal weight really is 154.
    Manny Pac has freakishly large 8 inch wrists, larger than Wladimir Klitschko and the same as Mike Tyson and Joe Louis. Due to Mannys short stature but heavy skeleton, his ideal fight weight should actually be 150lbs.
    The point is, Manny may be short, but he is NOT SMALL:good

    Yup, Pacquiao looks like he is back to his natural weight for this fight. Chris just looks drained. Pac definitely got this one...

    this catch-weight **** is bonkers... ****ing Algieri has weighed over 147 once in his career.. his debut.

    It's a 147lb title from 2 guys who legit can come into the fight in good shape at 147. So why not just do it... neither guy is gaining an advantage.

    go back to bed bro.

    Manny is a carney midget: that wee man walked right by me in Dallas and he IS NOT taller than 5'5.5" TOPS. Nobody below 5'6" is natural welter in the age of day-before weigh ins.

    How is Chris Algieri drained, when hes used to making 140lbs? He most likely made the mistake of eating a bigger breakfast than he should have, which he posted on his twitter on the morning of the weigh in. The guy naturally has a slim athletic figure for his height and weight.

    Floyd fights a pudgeball in Maidana and Manny fights an oak tree (with skills far advanced beyond that caveman)

    Pacman is a blessing to boxing.

    I'm 250 lbs. Going by those numbers I should be fighting at feather.
