    Weight and how "big" a guy is is hard to tell from just where they start, Oscar started between 130 and 135 but he's obviously a bigger framed guy than say Chop Corley who started at 140. Even though its an amazing accomplishment that Pacquaio came from 112 to 147 it doesn't mean he's small now, he was a solid 135, probably is a solid 140 pounder and seemed to have some trouble making 130 towards the end.

    Floyd I thought looked real solid towards the end of his 140 run and looks like a decently solid welter now. Obviously wouldn't be considered a big strong welter compared to some guys. Was he "bigger" than Sharmba Mitchell or Zab or even Ricky? I don't know, he didn't look smaller or physically at a disadvantage. I think he could look pretty strong against JMM.

    Still not sure if I've answered the question.
    one look at Floyd and it's easy to see he's no natural welterweight, if anything i'd say he's a natural Lightweight, jr.welter at most
    you out done yourself again, so if floyd is a natural lightweight or jr. welterweight then why not fight jmm at those division instead?

    Hey was pac avoiding the natural featherweight at the time he fought bantamweight Larios? did he fight Rafeal Marquez instead of Juan Manuel Marquez, or Isreal Vazquez instead of Eric Morales?
    was Jones Jr a natural Heavyweight? no, but look what happened to him when he killed himself to go back down to 175

    Pacquiao is no natural jr.welterweight, but what do you think would happen to him if he jumped back down to 130 or 126 to fight the likes of Soto, Linares, or any other top fighter in those two divisions, he'd probably lose, and not cause he isn't better than them, but he's been away from those weight classes for so long

    and yea your second bit was just a fuckin joke

    Why do we have to ruin this epic fight because of the 2 pounds weigh-in reduction.


    I thought this is a David and Goliath fight. Goliath is asked to shed to pounds and all his hordes are reacting this is unfair.


    Well, anyway we know what happened at the end of the story.
