    Marquez 5' 7"? Thats the funniest **** ive ever heard. I seen they had Pac listed at 5' 6" 1/2 :lol he aint nowhere close to 5' 6". Dude is 5'5" TOPS. Shane is at least 3-4 inches taller than Pac and Floyd is the same height as Shane.

    You need to check your stats. Floyd is 5'8. Marquez 5'7.

    In terms of boxing, I'd say Mayweather has the bigger, natural size advantage. He has campaigned in the higher weight classes for longer, and given how he carries his weight, I doubt he could have stayed at the lighter weights for much longer than he actually did (although, 140lbs, probably).

    In terms of natural size (including weight), they aren't too different at all. Mayweather being the taller, longer reach, more top heavy and naturally leaner. Pacquiao carrying his weight differently, and also being capable of making the lighter weights for longer, which is also why he has been capable of successfully moving up divisions since 2007/8 very quickly.

    Well, I am going to take the boxrec route and list the stats height wise.

    Pac was listed as 1.69 m, or 5ft 6in

    Marquez at 1.7 m, or about 5ft 7in

    Floyd is at 1.73 m or about 5ft in

    Shane is at 1.75 m, or nearly 5ft 9in

    Okay let's do a pictorial comparison. Shane is nearly 5'9" and Pac is 5'6".

    So even with barely 3 inches only difference, you can see how Shane almost dwarfs Pac in body type.

    So looking at numbers alone it seems like not a big difference on paper, but it doesn't look like it at all on application.

    These are weigh in pictures and Shane looks much taller than Pac. They usually wear regular running shoes or are barefoot in these pictures. Shane prob 5'8" shoes off and Pac is 5'4" shoes off. Shoes on gives em an inch.

    Just looking at shoulder to shoulder gives you a clear idea of how much taller Shane is. There is no way Shane is only an inch and a half taller than Pac as you say. Not even 2 inches. Not a chance.

    I've never seen Pac up close, but he sure doesn't look 5'7'' - if it is, it's the 5'6.5 end of 5'7'', just as Floyd is kind of the 5'7.8'' end of 5'8''. I have asked John this before, but is he sure he isn't close to 5'6'' now?

    Floyd and I were eye to eye, 5'8'' for sure there, the same size. I just can't believe Pac or Marquez is one inch away from that, shoes notwithstanding. They both look almost 2 inches shorter than Floyd, at least. Pac's bones are dense with those wrists, but he's the "smaller" man. Marquez is his size.
