    probaly as far as he can, he doesnt have mayweather's skills to go any higher. he got flattened by a lightweight

    Last time I checked they are really about the same weight

    Manny has a thicker stronger lower body, floyd has a more even body type

    Mayweather is really skinny dude, I mean the man is really a welterweight max, he fights at 154 for $$$

    than imagine him 5'8 and how far with his power, speed, endurance he would have gone. arthur abraham is 5'9 and thinks about going to light heavyweight, than think what somebody with 5'8-5'9 size and the skills of a prime pacquiao could do. serious damage to anybody from 154 up to LH!!!

    floyd skinny. he a big dude. he could easily fight at 154 if he wanted. and height and reach does matter and floyd has both on his side, reach by far.

    They're pretty much the same size.

    Same weight, they fight in the same division. The weigh the same in fight night.

    Couple of inches here and there isnt gonna make a difference.

    5'8 is generous with Floyd as well

    He and Pac weigh the exact same in the ring. Pacquaio might even walk around heavier.

    marquez and pacquiao are the same physicly and it made a big difference when marquez fought mayweather, therefore since pac is as tall as marquez with even less reach, it would be a huge difference too.

    I remember someone posted that Pac-Man has a huge skeletal structure; I think they said his wrist was the same size round as Mike Tyson's. If he was taller, he'd definitely be able to fight at middleweight. Dude would be the Tyson of the lower weight classes.
