Even with 2 layers of clothing, JMM really looks small compared to Floyd...

    LOL....that's what I thought you meant bro. I started to answer with "corrales" but then noticed what it said. I've done that myself bro. Its all good. You're right about Josh shelling up and becoming in active which can be his achilles heal. But I remember thinking in the fight with Deigo how dominating Josh was. I picked Josh to win that fight but not like that. I guess the wieght didn't suit Diego even with his lanky frame. Loosing the fight to Casa IMO was probably a sign that Corrales was on the slide.

    Size means something if you're an aggressive fighter and a puncher, that's when you use your size to overpower smaller guys. There's no need for me to tell you that as you obviously know it, but sadly there are some who don't know what the **** they're watching and play stubborn when given free friendly advice like 7 year old girls.

    They say Mayweather is a running "*****" yet Pac applied similar movement tactics against Diaz, Morales III, Barrera II, DLH and Hatton. Of course that was full of "WOW LOOK AT THE IMPROVEMENTS" but Mayweather is a *****... :lol:

    Of course boxing fans who follow each boxers' career knew exactly what the size difference between PAC and Hoya... Promoters do this cheap trick things for the casual fans...

    Casual fan: "Hey look, that midget PAC is not much shorter than Hoya"...:lol:

    I've been having a lot of weird ass typos lately, think I'm getting punch drunk or something. :lol:

    I also picked Clottey to win that fight, Corrales had nothing at that point man and that fight put me in deep depression as I'm a fan of Corrales. Diego couldn't make lower weights anymore so he charged in against Clottey in an attempt up and it was obvious he won't handle it. He was getting hurt/dropped at lightweight, his fight with Clottey was at 150. In the end it's Corrales, a true stubborn warrior who at least tried and never chickened out.

    My point is Clottey had that fight in the bag before it started and Corrales was literally GONE from round 7 all the way to 10. Clottey would throw a flurry that looks like it's going to keep going and finish the hurt Corrales then all of a sudden he would be the one holding after clearly running out of gas and snap in his punches.

    Before bragging about how promoters do business in the sport of boxing I would highly recommend to learn some more about what goes on in the ring. Manny Pacquiao is not the only fighter in the history of boxing.

    Casual fans tuned in because Pac was taking a huge risk and that risk could see him hit the canvas out cold like MANY predictions suggested. Things like that is what attracts casuals and the possibility of Pac WINNING.

    You think casuals know what the **** is welterweight, lightweight or Jr. middle? :lol:, it's how small the guy looks is what they pay attention to. Some casuals don't even know what the **** is WBC, WBA, IBF or WBO.

    Of course PAC is a bit bigger at 143 coz he doesn't drained himself at the weigh-in... Very different look during his weigh-in at 130/135...

    Mosley was happy PAC has his thick soled sneakers on...:D

    That picture really shows the difference in natural size. Too bad DLH messed up his body going back down to 147. Still a incredibly impressive win for Pacman.

    Casual fans tuned in after hearing that a fast P4P #1 midget is fighting the Golden Boy of boxing... And they saw photos of this midget which showed he's not that much shorter than Hoya... It must be a competitive fight and they bought the fight...:D

    So now you know where Mosley is looking too?

    Hey, he could be looking at his ass for all we care.

    Fact is Pac is smaller and this isn't the only picture people saw. The weigh-in isn't exactly "hyping", it's a ****ing weigh in. The hype was done with endless photos and footage of Pac being smaller and mentioning it during the 24/7s. One day before the fight doesn't overshadow that and it's the 24/7s that attracts the fans. They don't give a damn about using the weigh-in as a promotional trick, that's idiotic.

    It's those pictures that were all over, the INTRODUCTION OF THE FIGHT. You want to come here and tell me they changed it all to increase sales of an already SOLD OUT arena and highly ordered 1 day before the fight during a weigh in?!

    So according to your logic the casuals tuned in for the weigh-in and ALL casuals started to order after watching Pac is similar size one day before the fight? :lol:

    Hey, at least that's better than previous comments. As long as there's some improvement we're doing good, thank me later.

    I know Mosley loves that butt... he loves to kick that midget butt...:lol:

    The weigh-in is a very important event during the pre-fight... I saw wild odds swing right after the weigh-in... For example PAC's odds against Hatton rises to almost 3 to 1 from the initial 2 to 1 odds... They saw a bit drained, weak Hatton during the weigh-in and it widen the odds...

    Some PPV buyers order the PPV just hours before the fight... It's still a considerable sales figure...

    How about those fights that got cancelled after the weigh-in when one boxer didn't make weight?? Weigh-in is soooo important...;)
