    Isn't that what I just stated? Do you still have comprehension problems?

    Infact, I remembered you saying that they are almost of the same size during the fight time. And since you are the weight master when it comes to Mayweather, then I take your word for it. Who am I to debate with you when it comes to Mayweather's weight.

    You know Mayweathers weigh-in and pre-fight weights like the back of your hand. Infact, you are so knowledgeable that even fights that never had pre-fights weights, you basically know how much Money weighed.

    So who can debate with you when it comes to Mayweather's weight?????

    BTW, how am I going to compare current Pac to the Mayweather who fought Judah????? Do I get a picture of them and put it side by side? Or Pac relative to Judah?

    I think he s very strong- and his speed makes people underrate how strong. Against Hatton- who is a bull and has low centre of gravity- he didnt get pushed back at all, as a welter i put him slightly above average strenght. He s not a beast of p4 p strenght like Mosely- who can bench buildings, or a leverage strong guy like margarito, but he s strong enough to get respect i say. certainly you cant just give him your chin- he ll take it and put tax on it.

    He s no trinidad or Hearns, but then , he s not Malinaggi.

    Its not necessarily whether he has power - or dosent have it, i think its as much an issue- does he really let it go- or does he focus on taggin and touching, speed over planting and bombing.

    We all know how cautious Floyd is. I put Zab Judah as an example. I think Floyd is as strong a welter as Zab- who has a reputation for being a powerful puncher- and explosive KO artist. Floyd is just as strong to me- upper and lower - but simply dosent engage to prove it- so i guess whether he is strong or not is kind of moot. he s a boxer all the way. rarely will he stand and plant and follow thru with his entire torque.

    He s more likely to throw his body into his lead straight right- which is his main power punch. i dont think this is a real ko punch- more a stunner- althogh he uses his whole body weight- he dosent really snap into it, its more a punch to get the guy off balance, and open up for the left hook or clinch.

    Physical fighting isn't Floyd's thing, but if you force him to bring the baseball bat out he will bludgeon your ass with it. He's much stronger than people think, and absolutely lethal when he feels seriously threatened.

    He is a legit WW with underrated strength because people see him as this slickster type of boxer.

    Of course he's strong at WW. He did beat Baldo, Ricky, JMMarquez at that weight didn't he? But we'll see come May 2nd when he fights a TRUE Welterweight in Shayne.

    Hey genius, how exactly do you do it?

    Are you making your guesstimate agaiun.

    In one of the earlier threads several months ago, you stated with conviction that Mayweather was 152 or less against JMM becauyse he weighed 152 2 weeks before the fight. JMM was apparemntly 148 at fight time, so the difference is just 4 pounds. I guesstimate that you guesstimated again the weight!

    Ignorance my friend is a bliss compared to someone who pretends to know it all!

    And you start labelling a person ignorant because honestly, how can I compare a Mayweather during Judah fight when there was never a picture of Pac together with Judah or even Mayweather. I guess, you will have to use your guesstimate.

    Ignorance is bliss in your little world.

    I'm surprised you didn't ask me who Judah was.

    I don't think he's super heavy handed or really really strong, but he has excellent speed, craft and timing. He can score flashy knockdowns but not heavy handed one punch stoppages perhaps.

    I think Floyd has underrated power, and when I say underrated, thats not me implying Floyd has great power at Welterweight. He has a lot of sting in his shots, he uses his opponents momentum to hurt them along with his speed. He hasn't got one punch knockout power, although I don't think he has ever had that. But he obviously has enough power to make his opponents take note.

    He doesn't need power, he's super fast.

    That is one of the biggest Myths in boxing right now. PBF is a full WW. He looked massive compared to JMM and JMM weighed around 148 on fight night.

    Also PBF even though not very big is very strong. He manhandled Ricky on the inside and Ricky is pretty strong in there. He stunned Oscar with a straigh right. Something Pac couldnt even do.
    People knock on him for not KOing JMM but who the hell can??? Pac couldnt do it in 2 fights. Its hard trying to finish a guy like JMM because he is a great counter puncher and they thrive on people attacking all out. PBF knew that.

    PBF is probably stronger than any other WW out there other than Mosley.

    I disagree with this, I think Pacquiao hits harder than Mayweather at Welterweight, and probably at any weight. Although if Floyd sat down on his punches more you never know, I've only ever seen him sit down when throws on a few occasions.
