    First of all, why you got 14 year olds in your bedroom posing for you in bikinis?

    Secondly, nobody is saying size doesnt matter, we are saying that Floyd is not that much larger or that his style uses his height for it too matter. Floyds not a guy who uses his strength to overwhelm his opponent and at best on fight night he is about 2 inches taller then Pac and they both weigh the same on fight night, maybe Floyd weighs about 2-3lbs more. Floyd has always maintained a weight at the brink of 147, **** when he fought Oscar at 154 he weighed 149 on fight night. It doesnt make a difference, and if you think Floyd who fought 90% of his career at super feather is gonna be significantly bigger then Pacquaio you are a moron.

    If he fights cotto and mosley and beat them then i will give him credit for actually fighting a welterweight and his props for his wins.

    PBF should fight Pac at 140. If he can't make 140, don't fight him at all. Go after the WW title. At 140, no excuses, it's about talent and not size.

    Then why is Pac talking about fighting Cotto at a catch weight? Why not make him fight at 140 as well?

    go back to page 2 pal, and read one of your fellow floyd fans who insisted that there is basically no size difference between pac and pbf. one even insisted that pac is just one inch shorter when in fact pac is at least 2 inches shorter.

    and in lower weights, size, reach and height advantage are more significant compared to the heavyweights.

    and dwelling on the past is also very moronic in my opinion. sure pbf fought a lot at super feather, but pac started at 106.

    what matters most is the recent boxing history of the fighters. recent being 3-4 fights past, skills level, figting weight, fight results etc. we have pac fighting at 130-135 just over a year ago in one hand, and we have pbf fighting as high as 154 for almost two years,

    how the hell can you say things are just about even. and please answer my question, if size does not matter that much, why hell is pbf fighting boxers smaller than him. consider this.

    1. hatton.
    2. jmm.
    3. pac.

    all smaller than him. as much as pbf fan as i am in terms of skillset, it just annoys me to see him fight smaller men when his skills can allow him to fight true welters and cement further his legacy.

    p.s. these are not underaged girls. asian girls even when they are in their 20's look like teens. its the reverse in some countries, you have teens, looking like 20's. 20's looking like 30's, 30's looking like 40's. think amy winehouse.

    Cotto ain't goin below 147. And Arum is a fool if he puts Pac in against him.

    Wow! a whole 2 inches! Really?! :lol:

    Listen, Floyd isnt that much larger then Pac, and given that Floyd does not fight in a way that utilizes the small size advantage he has it would be completely irrelevent in this fight. Did Pacquiao looks small and weak compared to Hatton? No. PAcquiao was able to push Hatton across the ring. Hatton is a bigger fighter frame wise then Floyd.

    Why do you keep ignoring the essential truth here. Pacquaio and Floyd are closer in size then Floyd would be fighting Mosley. Get over it.

    the fight is a great one pac and floyd are not that far apart in weight and Pac looks good with size on him...besides the fight wont be at welter anyway it will be more to Pac's liking from what Roach is saying.

    Fail for this reason. Floyd is the true unified champion at ww. Those other guys were given stripped belts.

    PAc fans say, Dlh was too big, and then when PAc won...Pac fans screamed that PAc isn't given enough credit for the win. Why does PAc need to fight at a catch weight between 140 and 147 if the DLH win was legit?

    the reason why pac agreed to it at 147 is because dlh age evened out the playing field.

    stupid floyd fans insisting that size difference between the two would be irrelevant. height/weight/size all in favor of pbf. a little over a year ago, people were saying that pac woul be murdered if went north of 135. sure, he can be competitive at 140, but 147?

    give me a break. you are ****ing cowards and idiots to insist on that. why pick on the smaller man.

    why not mosley, cotto, williams at 147? these are the true welters that pbf should be facing. If i were a pbf fan, i would be ashamed in a sense that he is going for the smaller fighters.

    practically all aspects are in pbf favor, why so?

    how is a guy who started at 130 as a pro not so much bigger than one who started at 106?....floyd is naturally way bigger!

    Rofl. Who cares what weight Mayweather has fought at. That just shows his skill, being outweighed by 10lbs on fight night and he still wins. It has nothing to do with the size of the 2 fighters. Did Hopkins look bigger then Kelly Pavlik when they fought at 170? No! Pavlik is the bigger guy even though he was the one jumping weight classes, Hopkins however has learned to condition his body in such a manner that weight class means very little to him. Same with Floyd. Floyd fights at the welterweigth minimum of 147. Mosley enters fights at 160. Cotto enters fights at 154. Williams enters fights at 160. Where's Marquez and PAcquiao when the fought at 135 entered the fights at 145. So where is the greater weight differential?
