    Before I start, I will say I am a huge fan of both fighters and am looking forward to their inevitable match.

    I would like to clear up the claims that Pacquiao outdid mayweather because he jumped so many weight classes.


    Mayweather:
    "He won national Golden Gloves championships in 1993 (at 106 lb), 1994 (at 114 lb), and 1996 (at 125 lb)"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Mayweather,_Jr.

    Pacquiao:
    1995-01-22 106 Edmund Enting Ignacio
    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat=boxer&human_id=6129


    Mayweather fought at 106 in 1993. Pacquiao fought his debut at 106 in 1995. Mayweather is 2 years older than Pacquiao.

    They were fighting at the same weight within 1 year of the same age.

    Stop comparing Amateur boxing with pro boxing they're completelly diferent things.
    at that time Floyd was still learning his craft while Pac was thrown straight to the lions and had to learn things the hard way.

    pros is a different ball game to amateurs. pros fight 12 rounds without headgear and trying knock eachother out. you should start counting the divisions from the pros and pac won his first title at 112

    Sorry mate. Nice try but this is wrong. They were teenagers not fully grown men. Compare their weights above the ages of 21.

    Just compare their last several official weights and you will see the size difference is glaring.

    Pac will still beat PBF, but he should get extra props for beating a bigger man

    Are you mixing up when I said it would be stupid for Mosley to go to 140?

    I said I want Floyd to Pac at 140.
