Floyd started at super featherweight, physically grew into being a welterweight, and any fight beyond that is basically at his walkaround weight.
Pacquiao was a 19-year old flyweight(112 pounds), a 29-year old super featherweight(130), and still put on another near 20 pounds to his frame, dipping a toe in at junior middleweight for good measure.
Race has nothing to do with it; if Armstrong had gone up 40 pounds after puberty, with his frame being what it was, their would be pause. If Mayweather, after debuting as a 19-year old super featherweight(130), was able to add 40 pounds to his frame, the alarm sirens would be blaring.
How Pacquiao is able to add 40 pounds, onto a 5'6", after puberty is through (without anyone allowed to question is) is ridiculous.
