"I'm tired of everybody talking about how Floyd Mayweather is afraid of this guy. I trained with Floyd years ago and I fought at 168 and he was fighting at 130. He was sparring a guy that was a super middleweight and knocked him out. I have seen him spar bigger guys, so to say he is afraid of a guy his size or smaller just bothers me coming from people who have never boxed...and that's okay. And it's okay to give your perspective on it and that's okay too, but now I'm happy that it's happening and it will be great for the sport," stated Derrick James, world-class trainer of fast-rising welterweight Errol Spence, who shared his thoughts on the upcoming May 2 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao

How about at 130? Pac claims he could make 135 still no problem. DLH drained to fight Pac for a big fight, so Pac could do it.

You ever get hungry and just start biting into that giant chip on your shoulder? Bitter little guy.
Bitter little guy? You have no idea. Don't worry, I am big enough to stomp my own snakes.

Btw, did I say something that was not true, or did it just hit a nerve that flares up when a fact is presented?

Is Mayweather larger than Manny?

I assumed Manny would weigh more than him come fightnight

He might, but it will be very close, like within 2lbs I think.
