yes floyd mayweather started at super featherweight!

[Maestro USA]

but manny turned pro at 16. when floyd was 16, people forget he won the national golden gloves at 106 lbs

Bingo!

Floyd won the Golden Gloves at 106lbs, and I would guarantee you he would have whooped the **** out of Pacquiao who was pro at 106 getting his ass knocked out by bums.

Floyd OWNS Pac at any weight, PERIOD!

jmm is a tune up for pac... both fights will be at a catchweight

He was at 147 for almost 3 years without taking on the toughest opponents there, but he is willing to come back and fight guys who are barely out of the superfeatherweight division. How is that building his legacy? Nevermind, I'll answer that for you. Its not. Its still about the most money for the lowest risk. And that is exactly why so many pople **** on Floyd.

If the Pac fight happens I'll look forward to it. But its not as danerous as Cotto, Mosely or Williams. Anybody who ays different doesn't know what they're taking about.

Yes, but 10 years ago, when Manny was fighting at 112, Floyd was half way through his title run at 130. Last year, while Manny was fighting at 130, Floyd was retiring after winning a title at 154 and being at 147 for over 2 years.

[The Hammer]

Very true. VERY true. Floyd last fought at 147. So does anyone really think its a fair match up to pit him against a guy who has had 2 fights at 135 and none at 140 or 147? Is that really taking on the best? Is it really a tune up fight to prepare himself for the best at 147? Is it really a fight his legacy can build upon?

Floyd's natural size is welterweight now. He refuses to fight JMM at 130, 135, or 140 because he can't make those weights anymore.

He's a ***** and a coward for forcing JMM to move up to fight him.

floyd will probably fight mosley / cotto after he fights jmm and pac.

i agree that true WWs will give floyd more problems but those fight can still be made in the future

Manny Pacquiao was 16 when turned professional at 106lbs. Floyd Mayweather also fought in th 106lb Golden Glove division when he was 16 years old.

as a teenager pacquiao was fighting professionally while pbf was fighting with headgear.

LOLz.. i guess a golden gloves 16 yr KID middleweight amateur right now would knock out PROFESSIONAL MAN that is a middleweight. Your post was really ******.
Pacquiao was fighting Grown ass Men that had man power over him at 16 while floyd was fighting amateur with a headgear against 16-17-18 year olds.

And Pacquiao to say that Pacquiao was getting knocked out by bums is ******. Both were body punches and Pacquiao was weight drained making weight. But the thing is that was early in his career and he was able to bounce back and whoop everybody elses ass ahead of him that he got in the ring with.

And Pacquiao didn't get knocked out at 106. BOth were body punches and the second Loss was a Title Defense, so it wasn't against no bum.

i heard pacquiao chose to fight at that young age because he was extremely poor, from a documentary on youtube i heard he got paid like $10 or something for his first fight

[Benny Leonard]

Let's not forget Pac was also KNOCKED OUT TWICE back then. Is that the same person that walks around today who can show a 6 pack when weighing 152 pounds with 6% body-fat. The same fighter that had to move up from 135 divisions because he was showing up at 147 by fight-time and it was getting to hard to drain his body for the weigh-ins?
Same fighter Freddie Roach called a "boy" back then and a "Man" now.
Manny most likely matured slow due to poor nutrition and fighting at low weight classes...just like Female Gymnasts do when the go on extreme diets, train hard, and try to keep at a certain weight and slow puberty if not stop it until their late teens when they retire from burn-out.

Pac is a 147+ pound fighter come fight time...right around the size Floyd was fighting at when he was active.

The only difference is, Floyd didn't drain his body of 10+ pounds.

And Floyd is naturally bigger then Pacquiao

FLoyd at 25 was a LIGHTWEIGHT

and Pacquiao at 25 was a SUper Batam/Featherweight


then at 26 Floyd was a 27 floyd was a Light Welterweight

and Pacquiao at 26 was a Featherweight
