What lots of people don't consider when analyzing Pacquiao and Mayweather. Pac is smaller man.

    Everybody knows Pac is a world champ in 8 divisions. Though the 8th class was not at the full limit to be fair. But I digress.

    Pacquiao is smaller than Mayweather. In terms of p4p that has to be considered. H2H Hagler is better than Duran. But few would argue that Hagler is greater than Roberto. And less would argue that he's p4p a better fighter.

    Manny Pacquiao knocked out the best Flyweight in the world back in the 90s. And eventually rose all the way to 145 pounds to give Cotto an ass kicking of a lifetime. That's not of this world and thst did actually happen.

    Manny Pacquiao was THE MAN at 122 pounds for years. All the way down at Super Bantamweight. And he did this while still being pretty green and raw.

    So we know that 2015 versions of Mayweather and Pacquiao showed that H2H Floyd was a better fighter. And even prime 2009 versions could possibly show thst Floyd was a better fighter H2H. We will never know though.

    Floyd however is flat out a bigger man. And in any discussions surrounding their p4p greatness needs to take that into consideration.

    Obviously, dude. Floyd's 5' 8". Manny is 5' 5" (some say even 5' 4"). Floyd dwarfed him when they stood next to each other. Floyd has a significant reach advantage as well. Floyd refused to be weighed on fight night (he does this selectively), so who knows how much he weighs.

    You can't just say that Floyd H2H was the better fighter. You have to take into consideration that Pacquiao had an offensive style that doesn't age well and he's been in a bunch of wars, not to mention that he had suffered a savage KO in 2012 that changed his style up (the offensive typhoon that would have destroyed Floyd in 2009).

    Oh, and Floyd was obviously on PEDs for their fight.

    I said among the 2015 versions Floyd is the better H2H fighter. That is true. 2009 is up for speculation.

    I will never forgive Floyd Mayweather for not being able to knock out a semi-shot, injured, former Flyweight champ in Pac.

    Another excuse of many excuses. Manny is the people's champ that people give credence to his farce of 8 weight divisions achievement (meaning size shouldn't be used as an excuse) except when he got beat one handed by one of the most hated, polarizing fighters to ever lace them up. Not only is Floyd more skilled, he's smarter. He was shot and a shell of himself as well. Like how people never agknowledge this. He was 2 years older. He was also 145 and outweighed by Pacquiao. I believe Pacs weight was 149 although I forgot his exact fight night weight. That shell of Floyd still made an A fighter look like a C level fighter to the extent that Manny had to top off all his his prior pathetic excuses (socks, gloves, cramps, blood drawn made me weak, etc) by given his most pathetic yet in claiming he had a shoulder injury that first occurred before the fight to only have Team PAC change their story officially that it occurred during the fight later but regardless it was healed by of all things, salt water and f u c k e n prayer lmfao. You can't make this sh i t up. The guy was a media creation in an era where people are susceptible to hype mechanisms and totally blow **** out of proportion. He was never going to beat Floyd more so than he could ever convincingly beat JMM. He has too many flaws and quite frankly, he is a one dimensional fighter. His ring IQ is garbage. His skill, angles, everything blown out of proportion. Even what he makes per fight and net worth. Just know that this so called great fighter to this day is wearing jackets with Floyd Mayweather on them (might as well by a TBE cap while he's at it) begging Floyd for another payday. He lost and he's a hypocrite Christian who has no problem telling lies and taking people's money regardless if his excuse was real or not. He will always be #48. The end.

    What's your point? That Pac is a lil smaller than Floyd and that needs to be taken into account surrounding their pfp greatness??? Lmfao. When analyzing these two and their will to win...it's night and day but in a respectful way. Floyd's defense and chin are greater than Pacs period. That is the major difference. Where Floyd was hurt or wobbled Pac was put down and out.
