    Floyd is pound for pound king but has been smart selecting his opponents. He avoids speed, no wonder he picked Maidana over Khan. He has also ducked Pacqiao and never showed intrest in Bradley. Mayweather has fought very good boxers but slower boxers he has been able to run circles around. Even so, Cotto fight wasn't that easy and De La Hoya's win was SD, remember.

    One thing Mayweather is an all time great on is the way he manages his business. He picks the perfect 'safe' opponents and always generates $$$.

    I'm still waiting for Floyd to step up and pick a boxer with fast hands. I want to see him fight Paqiao, Bradley or Khan. Khan has a weak chin and very careless but super fast and can present problems. Not surprising at all that Floyd went with Maidana, perfect opponent for him.

    Be sure, Floyd wants no part of Shawn Porter. Floyd watched how Shawn systematically dismantled a slick fast defensive master, and said "keep me away from this guy, Mr Haymon!"

    Pac and Mayweather fight world level top notch boxer, usually champions or former champions. Yet they fight bums. Last night Hopkins unified titles. But the 49 years old was fighting a bum. Jesus christ the guy in front, although not the best champion was still a world titlist.

    Floyd's run to greatness is impressive. He didn't give anything to Canelo (who might have been weight drained but still). The guy is freaking EXCEPTIONNAL!







    But he is still ducking PAC.

    In terms of this fight .... i have always found it interesting that no one points out the size difference between the two. Pacquiao in my eyes is not nearly the size of mayweather. Even if they weight in at the same - there bodies are not even close.

    Watching bradley in the second fight i beleive roach was right when he said he weighed in at 160. He looked huge compated to pacquiao.

    He looked stronger than rios. In some ways it looked like they were in different weight classes.

    Ofcourse Mayweather is bigger and that will play a big part if they do fight.

    Theres a marginal size difference.

    Same weight, Floyds a little longer and Pac is a little more muscular.

    Just what you'd expect from 2 guys in the same division who weigh the same on fight night.

    A BIG difference is what Pac had with Margo, when Margo was 17 llbs heavier and was 5 inches taller.

    Or when Floyd fought Corrales as a LW, when there was also 5-6 inches in height and 11 lbs weight difference, or his fight with Ortiz or Baldomir and many others.

    Floyd and Pac are essentially the same size in fighting terms, deal with it.

    Overall Mayweather is bigger then Pac this shouldn't even really be discussed for me a good measuring guide is Jmm who is the same size as Pac and he was dwarfed by FLoyd.

    So what's the point of this? They have different body types.. If Pac think he is so small or little, lose weight and fight guess your size.. You expect people to feel sorry for him? If they weigh the same, they are the same size in boxing terms...
