    Is it possible that Floyd has a longer frame but Pacquiao has a thicker frame?

    How the hell would Pac have the thicker frame? His waist is 3 inches smaller.

    Idk, shoulder width, thickness of arms, legs, etc (particularly bone thickness - I think this is what OP is suggesting)

    You mean logic, biology? Two men, one taller and one shorter. They obviously hold their weights differently. W t f was he expecting, Pacquiao to break the laws of physics/biology?

    lol smaller wrists just make your forearms look bigger. lol Wrist size means nothing. I want pac to win this fight but Pac is the smaller man and there's nothing wrong with that. Just counts who the stronger man is

    As crazy as it sounds Pac could make 135 if he drained like a lot of fighters. Crawford came in at ~154 for one of his recent fights.

    There is no simple answer to "who's the 'bigger' man".

    It really depends on specifics.

    Mayweather is taller with a longer wingspan.

    Pacquiao has certain anatomical measurements exceeding those of Mayweather and probably the greater bone density.

    They were both arguably in their peaks & primes at super featherweight, though.

    You can make a case either way quibbling for either being "larger" but at the end of the day you have two guys at welterweight that started well below there (yes Pacquiao started lower but he also was a scrawny teenager when in the flyweight range) and the fairest thing is to call both of them blown-up 130lbers.

    Floyd-Manny at 130 would have been great.
