    Well damn, Pac certainly looks like a solid welterweight based on this list. So why isn't he fightng one? :lol: Why is he fighting a LIGHTWEIGHT next?

    No they should fight at catchweight somewhere at 140lb for a vacant title.

    Actually, the best way to find out if someone's really bigger is to just go and fight without weight restrictions, and see at what weight they really show up. Because although Manny is very similar in size to Marquez, Manny has stopped dehydrating for his fights while Marquez hasn't. So a fight at lightweight wouldn't really be about settling any size differences, it would turn into who dehydrates and hydrates back more efficiently.

    Having said this, I do think Manny Pacquiao is bigger than Marquez, but he won't hold the same size advantage Floyd held over him. Manny's not that much bigger.

    :patsch Give it a rest please....

    Here's the just...

    Pac is a little bigger then JMM.
    Floyd is a little bigger then Pac
    Martinez is bigger then both PAc and Floyd, but moreso Pac...

    The quality of this board just gets worse by the day... ******ed Pac fans, ignorant and uneducated Floyd fans, and wannabe know it all 'boxing' fans... :patsch

    Move down to lightweight and "win-win" for everyone?, seriously? :lol:

    I hope you know what moving down TWO weight divisions could mean especially when Pac has been fighting actively out of lightweight since late 2008. I just hope you do so I won't get into it.

    Now on point, why does Pacquiao have to move down two weight divisions as the #1 P4P fighter to face a man he already fought twice and beat once?

    Because that's a fight so many were asking for remember? That JMM 'deserved'? DO you conveniently forget that stuff? Not to mention, fighting anyone other then Floyd is moot at this point in his career. WHo else if not JMM right now? Other then Floyd that is.

    He has to fight ORTIZ now, because after beating someone like Berto, who had a **** resume himself, MADE him worthy for some odd reason. :patsch

    Marquez is fine with the weight..

    Also, Pac is truly not much bigger than Marque but major props to him for fighting naturally larger and taller opponents than him..
