    Floyd will have ~11-12 lbs on Pac fight night. No doubt about it.

    He shoulda got Weeks to referee cause he will be walking down Manny and roughing him up.

    If Bayless lets this go then the hypocrisy will be monumental.

    How on earth do you figure Floyd will have 11-12 pounds on Pac? Floyd has never weighed 160...ever. Their official and fight night weights for their last 5 bouts at WW are within .5 lbs of one another.

    Pac's team purposely weighed near 147 as much as possible for a full 147 fight. But he weight low a couple of times. 142 against oscar,*144*for a JMW fight against margo, 144 against cotto, 143 against jmm and algieri.

    As compared to floyd. He always weighed close to 147 and couldn't even make 144 for the jmm fight. If you insist on the argument that he is really a small WW, 144 should be no problem to floyd.

    Algieri fight was 144 catchweight, so was JMM III, Cotto was 145 catchweight. Marg fight was catchweight of 150

    So it's not like he was weighing in far under the limit in most of those cases...

    Those were not all fights at 147.

    Show me where I said he is a small WW? I said he's normal sized. I just push back against the people who think he weighs 160+ on fight night.

    Those are either WW or JMW fights. One is at full WW and another is at 150 JMW catchweight. So not bad for making all his catchweight fights and weighing well below 147 and 150 when he doesn't need to.

    Incidentally, two fights where he weight at 147, he lost both against bradley and marquez. It seems that he's more in good shape if he weighs around 144 where he usually dominates his opponents.

    Pac must weigh 144 against floyd and floyd his usual 147.

    I also think he is a normal sized WW. Floyd just said he is a "big WW" in reference to pacquiao who is a "small WW" in floyd's view.

    I just re watched that fight recently, he appeared noticeably larger than shane, which surprised me. In the clinches he was almost rag dolling him. Was very surprised he appeared so much stronger than shane that night.

    But Floyd himself stated that he is a big WW. You are wrong.
