    I'm not certain he would blow JMM away, but I would make him the favourite if they were to have a third go at 135.

    ( I narrowly gave Pac their first two encounters).


    Pac was once 106, but he was 16. We don't know what Floyd and JMM weighed when they were boys.

    Looking at the above, it is evident that Pac and JMM are about the same 'natural' size (whatever that means) and that Floyd is a tad (about 7 lbs ) bigger.

    However, if you consider what MacNama posted

    then they all come close to being the same.

    Not true. I have a lot of Filipino friends lately and when they watch a Pacquiao fight the whole entire family, kids and all are there so I got a chance to meet a lot of their kids. My buddy has a kid who is 12 and is as big as Manny Pacquiao is now and is easily over 120 and other kids who look like normal sized children. Ofcourse im talking about American Filipinos. Don't know really how big they get in the Philippines or if most of them are like Manny. I don't think it is about race because Filipinos are a different type of Asian not relatad to chinese, or korean. Manny is really just an amazing specimen who was able to handle all those weight classes. I think he was drained for most his career under 135 and 140 should be his true weight for weighing in before the fight.
