Manny Pacqauio fighting at welterweight equivalent to Floyd fighting at middleweight?

My thought is who cares.. Good for them or him I guess...

 

Not really Mayweather has never been weighed over 150/51 in the ring, Manny has been coming in at 147 since he was at 126.

 

According to Floyd himself he was severely drained last time he needed to make 147.
So he's probably a natural SMW.

 

a fact that people overlook. Manny was coming into fight night heavier when fighting at 126 than when Floyd was fighting at 140 lol

 

Yes. Manny fighting at welterweight is equivalent to Floyd fighting at middleweight. That's a fair assessment.

 

That really only speaks to the conditioning or how much fat or muscle mass they enter the ring at not their absolute size. To the extent that you can manipulate weight Manny has been adding weight to reach welter whereas Floyd has been cutting down or doing nothing to receive the same results.

Weight is a variable and size is not. A lot of fighters move up or down in weight by controlling diet and exercise. It's perhaps a better more fair methodology to compare the relative size of the fighters to the size of their opponents ie how often they were at an advantage or disadvantage in terms of height and reach as well as by how much.

 

:yep You can't have it both ways you Floyd groupies.

 

Technically if Manny has been coming in that high for years he isn't adding weights, just cutting less an interesting point though regarding height if a guy 5'6 180 stands next to a guy 5'10 150 who is bigger many factors determine size but for the question at hand we can only go off the what was presented. Taller isn't always more dense, just like heavier isn't always bigger.

Huh? The only time he weighed in at the full 147 limit was Clottey I thought. Everything else was lower. Even against Margarito it was 145.

If Manny didn't eat giant feasts before weigh-ins, you'd probably see him stepping on the scale around 143.

 

You misread his comment. Manny, at 126, rehydrated up to 145-147. Floyd, at 140, rehydrated less than that.
