Ive just been rewatching some fights for both pacquiao and mayweather and decided to take a snapshot of the tale of the tape segments from each fight. This shows a crucial part of any fight between the two and that is the difference in reach. More specifically, what is the difference in reach? This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected A few points are glaringly obvious. Manny pacquiao is not a small dude. The guy is very strong and at the moment is built like a tank. Mayweather seems to have a pretty consistent 26" reach which is amazing for someone his height. Manny seems to range between 23" and 25" so floyd has anywhere between a 1-3" reach advantage on him and not the 5" advantage mayweather had on marquez. Note also mayweathers fight night weight against zab judah. Yes it is 146 i cant imagine he weighs more that 150 in the ring currently. Two important questions therefore arise. -How much of a reach advantage does floyd have over manny? -Given mayweathers style, how difficult will it be for manny to overcome such an advantage and how does he do it in the ring?
good job man. so much for manny being a small guy. i wont be surprised is pacquiao outweighs mayweather on march 13th
I even rewatched some of his earlier fights. The dude was gigantic at 122lbs. Like he would punch guys and move their entire bodies. Physically maybe mayweather is longer but he isnt built like pacquiao. Like Nazeem Richardson said. Tyson was only 5ft 11" but he wasnt a small HW.
