    Now I hear a lot that Pacs smaller than Floyd. If I'm not wrong Pac weighed in at his last fight at 151. Floyd came to the Cotto weight in at I believe 151 and according to Money team member David Levi, Floyd would eat Ice Cream, cheeseburgers and fries on his way weight in to make it at 151. Now I know in the past Floyd was the bigger man but Pac has grown into the WW divison. He doesn't look that big up top, but his legs are huge. Floyd has a bigger upper body than Pac.

    Now I bet U on May 4th Floyd isn't going weight in no more than 151, maybe 152. The truth is they are around the same size, yet before Pac got his ass KO'd people were saying he was too small for Canelo, and Martinez. Personally I think Pac is a little to small to fight Canelo but so is Floyd. Why is there this double standard?

    Because he really is.

    He may have grown into the division but he's already undersized being sub 5'7" with an average reach.

    And 2 years prior he may still be able to move down to 140 but chose to saty at 147 for bigger money fights.

    I don't think Pac can make 140 anymore, and if can he would be drained.

    Right now he won't, but as I have said maybe 2 years prior he still could.

    Very little between them, in fact Pacquiao weighed the same in the ring for Bradley that Mayweather did against Ortiz according to HBO's tale of the tape.

    How much someone can drain themselves has nothing to do with natural weight as far as I'm concerned.

    Floyd wears his weight over a taller, longer frame.

    Floyd is probably 4 inches taller and much longer reach. Floyd is held to a higher standard because hes much better than Pacquiao. I personally want to see Floyd achieve greatness or attempt to achieve all time greatness. The 147 lb division doesnt offer anything great right now. It hasnt for years. Floyd has successfully campaigned vs a 160+ lb DLH and a bigger stronger Cotto at 154. But neither were in their prime or as dangerous with both hands like a Canelo or Trout. Fighting Martinez at 160 would be special and historic to see. Style-wise, thats a winnable fight for him. Martinez also wouldnt be any bigger than Canelo or DLH are, around 165 come fight night.

    Pacquiao is my opinion is a weight class smaller, mayweather has fought at 154 twice, pacquiao has not, ever, Mayweather has spent near 9 years above 140, pacquiao has spent 4 years above 140, Mayweather has spent 11 years 135 or above, pacquiao has spent near 5.

    ^^^^

    Mayweather has already achieved greatness, stupid to say he hasn't, Martinez weighs 170+ come fight night, there's about 2 inch difference max between the two in terms of height not 4, that would make pacquiao 5'4'', in terms of reach there is about 5/6 inch difference.

    'Floyd is held to a higher standard because hes much better than Pacquiao' - most people view that pac is the smaller fighter, but has taken on challenges.

    Also style's come into play, pacquiao's aggressive style would be a huge disadvantage vs bigger men compared to a more relaxed defensive style of floyd.

    Ive seen Pac in person and the dude is tiny. Shane towered over Pacquiao. Did u see the pics of the Shane Pac photoshoot? They had Pac standing on some books ffs. Floyd is about the same height as Shane. Id say theh are no taller than 5' 9" while Pac is no taller than 5' 5".

    How do you figure 2 inches. Marwuez is probably an inch taller than Pac with Floyd being at least 2-3 inches taller than Marquez.
