Thread: Pacquaio 145? Only 3-4 pounds lighter than Floyd fights... can it happen?

Now that Pacquiao is weighs so much in these fighters, he is virtually the same weight as Mayweather when he fights, but Pacquaio is weighing that much after only 24 hours of hydration. Floyd is around that weight as well even though he fights at 147 he could step on the scale fightnight and virtually weigh the same as the night before. I think the size differential is not really there, and Pacquiao probably hits harder than Mayweather as a "130" pounder than Mayweather does at 147. IMO this would be a fair fight in terms of size.

Height: 1 1/2 inches for MAyweather
weight: The same considering Pacquaio wouldn't have to cut
arm lenght: 1 inch for Mayweather

I really don't see this being that unfair of a fight if you are talking about size. Oscar De La Hoya is way bigger than he was at 130, but Mayweather isn't really a true 147 pounder, or 140 pounder, perhaps his size still seems natural for somebody at 135, and thats where Pacquaio should be fighting at the very least.

Honestly, I think this would be another version of the Ricky Hatton fight. He would be aggressive and give an honest effort, but in the end FM will crush him. They may make it for the money, though. He and Hatton seem like a real money maker as well.

Taeth, if Marquez gave Manny hell, Floyd will give Manny Hell and keep him there. I'm a Pacfan don't make this fight happen

Might I suggest this list...

come up fights:
David Diaz
Santa Cruz
Casamayor
Kid Diamond

big fights:
Ricky Hatton
Nate Campbell
Juan Diaz
Joan Guzman (ltwt)

It's not gonna happen coz Pretty Boy Floyd is now a WWE wrestler.

LOL!!! McMahon has the money to hold him, too!

the weight cutting down to 130 is slowing pac down. I want to see him not have to make 130 first. maybe 135 will be the best weight for him, i don't think a fight with floyd is possible unless they just say the hec with it and do it for the money.

WOW, your come up fights would still give hell to Manny but realistic.
Honestly though I Now think that Manny has a bigger chance of beating Juan Diaz than Marquez in case a rubber match takes place.

Don't call me a psychic, but Arum already picked one on the 'come up' list I made above.

Arum picked the weakest of the division I guess, but fair enough considering PAC started out at 107lbs.

Hey Mayweather fought at a really low weight in the amateurs when he was around Pacquiao's pro debut age... Also Mayweather was boosted up to 130 when he went into the pros because they didn't want him to fight in the lower, less known, weight divisions. I don't see size being a factor for why this fight shouldn't happen because Pacquaio is pretty much the same size as Mayweather, and Mayweather doesn't use size anyways when he fights.
