    It seems many of us glossed over what the weigh in is really about, no one cares about Twitter polls and crowd reactions, what really counts is the fighters state of being and physical condition and while both fighters looked good my nod goes to Mayweather, he looked phenomenal physically while Pacquiao looked more relaxed (almost too relaxed). While Mayweather's tension was obvious Pacquiao's was a little better disguised but to be fair, I think Mayweather looked better physically, Pacquiao looked to be in a better state of mind though.

    Aww come on man I know you're being sarcastic, though I didn't think Pacquiao looked his best, he looked pretty good, a little surprised he came in at 146, seems like he may be sacrificing a little speed for power, which could minimize one of his few physical advantages.

    Mayweather looked to be physically the stronger guy but that doesn't mean he will hit harder.

    And I agree you can tell mayweather is feeling the pressure. He just seems tense. The pressure he is carrying by being undefeated and facing the toughest foe in one of the biggest/most watched fight ever must be crushing. I wish both of them well.

    I think Mayweather is the physically stronger of two, though Pacquiao may be the harder puncher of two, their KO percentage is only .7 percent higher for Pacquiao though he's had more fights. Make no mistake while Mayweather has more to lose, Pacquiao is not without his own pressure as well despite him having loses already, remember he's being anointed as the guy who has the most legit chance to take Mayweather's 0, and to be honest I'm not really buying Pacquiao's demeanor today at the weigh-in, way too happy.

    I don't know about Mayweather, but that Tim Bradley guy definitely looked physically stronger than Pacquiao.

    I got absolutly nothing from that weigh in other than the weights and we dont even know what weights they will be turning up at tonight.

    Floyd has taken on a different demeanour for all of this, Manny making sure to look calm and fully confident. But its all on purpose, its all calculated. After watching the weigh in i have not changed my opinion on anything.

    Rafael said he was eating in the locker room before the weigh in too.
