Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Does Size Matter?

Mayweather is fighting a man who could feasibly make the 130 pound limit. Whether or not Floyd is a big Welter is irrelevant for this fight. He's bigger than Pacquiao.

He's the bigger man. Period.

 

Food weight possibly.

Again don't confuse weight with natural size.

 

i have NO doubt pac is smaller than floyd.

what i have an issue with is, floyd fans saying floyd is bigger and stronger than pac now and will ko him when it used to be they are similar or floyd is smaller than pacman.

so clearly, either floyd is bigger than pac and 150lbs fight night weight is a lie or the ko talk due to size advantage is a cover up for a possible ped backlash similar to marquez jst in case a ko happen.

floyd cant be bigger /stronger than pac if they say he comes at 150lbs because pac is around the same weight.


150 is a lie or ped, which is it?

 

you are not suggesting pac will fight on full stomach.

weigh in maybe, im talking about fight night weight.

 

Could he really make 130 lbs? He weighed 144 lbs in the ring against Morales and 147 lbs against Diaz, seems Pacquaio used to be a big weight cutter in the past something that gets harder to do as you age.

 

No doubt he could make 130. In the first Morales fight he was 141 fight night. Would it be a smart idea??? Probably not. 135 would probably be optimal for him.

 

this is the smallest's fighter Floyd has fought since JMM and it will be just the same ,roach does not have a answer to how to fight Floyd ..the one thing he hasn't taught Pac to do is how to tighten up his defense which will be the factor in this fight.

 

do you have the same opinion of their size before the fight was signed?

 

Floyd thinks size matters which is why he wants to check his jock strap..LOL

 

Size matters. And Floyd has a BD

 

Exactly the first Morlaes fight was 10 years ago and he entered the ring at 141 lbs 2nd or 3rd Morales fight he was 144 lbs , David Diaz fight happened in 2008 and he was 147 lbs, don't see how he has to eat his way up to 147 lbs when he entered the ring at that weight in 2008 in a fight where he didn't need to be that heavy.

Pacquaio being able to drain 10 + pounds when he was young is understandable but I don't think at 36 he could do the same.

 

It doesn't matter.

Assuming Pac comes in from 145-150 and Floyd comes in from 150-155, it's negligible. Floyd has the height and reach, but so did Algieri and Margarito and who knows who else.

It's not like Floyd weighs so much more than Pac that that's an issue in itself. It may be a slight advantage when you factor in how even they are in speed, experience, etc.
