    Just cause Roach says PBF is too small for Pac doesn't mean he's saying that Floyd is smaller than Pac. The fight should still be on level terms. If Floyd weighs in at 147 and Pac weighs in at 142, then there's a clear advantage for PBF.

    It's easier for a fighter to move UP than it is to move DOWN.

    Floyd started at 130..it's not like he's been at WW his entire career.

    Cotto won't be 160 in the ring against Fanny Pac...you best believe that....Miguel will look like he was lost in the desert for 3 months.


    Hatton was not the best JrWW..he didn't PROVE IT against Bradley and the other champs there.:deal

    But the difference is floyd dont rely on his size to beat opponents, neither has pac throughout his career, it all comes down to skills in that ring.

    I mean if Mayweather was a Margarito I could understand you point but Mayweather is still a little guy, he just happens to be a bit bigger than pac.

    he proved it against the other champs. Other champs like Kostya Tszyu who was the undisputed champion of the division, like Paulie Malignaggi who was the IBF champ when Hatton signed to fight him, and like Juan Urango who would go on to become a title holder after Hatton nearly shut him out.

    No, but by saying that he's too small, he's saying that Floyd isn't big enough to beat Pac. If that's the case, then why ask for the catchweight? That would be like a guy saying a girl is too tall for him then asking her to wear high heals. Just admit that Roach ****ed up with that comment and would look pretty bad if he asked Floyd to come in at a catchweight.

    Floyd 147 Fanny 142..

    Mayweather has given WAYYY more than what that before...:deal

    If Fanny Pac is as great as ya'll WISH that would be easy to overcome.

    What you see is floyd ducking fighters and blowing up lightweights to fight him!!

    Floyd is also deceptively strong..thats why he can give-up 15 or 20lbs in the ring instead of demanding his opponents mortify themselves for an advantage ala Pacman.

    Well then where was floyd when pac's camp said he could've just waited another day and he would've gotten pac. NOWHERE that is. He's to busy blowing up JMM to try and one up pac, But that wont happen. If pac qins against cotto, the magnitude of being the only 7 div champ will have floyd begging for a fight. Fraud knows he aint gonna make any money fighting someone else. Dude's in La la land. He thinks he is the biggest draw in boxing. Let's see the numbers for PBF vs JMM haha. I'ma help the dude out. I'll buy, but I wont watch :blurp

    If Pacman is as good as Roach claims then he should not need other fighters to handicap themselves coming in at catchweight. I remember PBF fighting ODLH at 155 weight limit giving up all advantages and outboxing an ODLH that was not weakened by coming down to 147. Pacman has some key disadvantages against PBF namely talent, ability and trainers.

    Look at all the guys Fanny Pac ducked at 135 to fight David Diaz' SORRY ass:hey

    Now he's ducking THE MAN at 147...SHANE MOSLEY...to fight Cotto's freshly KO'd ass.

    You Catchweigh-Pac fans shouldn't use the word duck.

    Cotto is slumping and DAMAGED GOODS that's why they want him:yep

    Floyd isn't the one demanding these *****-ass catchweights.

    He don't care what his opponents weigh in the ring.

    You're boy Fanny Pac don't have those type skills.:deal

    If pac gets by Cotto People will be screaming for Pbf-Pac. I hate the fact that this fight has not come off already.

    So you think Pacquiao should have fought DLH at 154?

    Weight will NOT be the issue in this fight.
