Manny's best weight?

his most prolific and grand accomplishments were at WW, but that's only because of his size. that's what made his run remarkable. the WW he fought weren't great fighters, though. they were either past their best, or just never great fighters.
he has wins over marquez, barrera, and morales. that sounds damn good on the resume of a FW. 122-130 is where he accomplished the most in terms of beating the best fighters he would face.

I think his best weight today would be 135. He gave two great performances against Dias and Hatton at an age when men have stopped growing. He weighed in at 138 for Hatton with ease so I am sure taking off 3 more pounds and staying strong would be no problem. There is only one lightweight in the world that would have much of a chance to beat him and he is fighting that man on December 8th.

I voted 140 because that is where he can eat good and still make weight but I think at 135 he would be even better. Super featherweight would be a struggle now.
135 is where till date he could still be looking devastating.
