I can't believe you really think that Manny coming in at 143lbs benefited and was requested by Manny. Nope, when you lose like that, it makes you think twice and many take on other fighters for a long while before taking on that opponent, if ever. That was not an a KO where the opponent almost made the count. I doubt Manny remembers what happened without seeing the replays. The biggest laugh is thinking that Manny vs Marquez #4 was just a paycheck .... lol! As for Cotto, Floyd took on that payday instead of Manny. lol! Not sure what was the point of taking on Cotto 5 years too late! lol! but nothing surprises me anymore since Floyd's health is more important. Last edited by ADP02; 01-15-2013 at 10:04 PM. |

Nope ... you need to read it again. They had a CW in fight #3 and was not done to benefit Manny. Just pretend Manny was Marquez and you guys would be having threads over threads on why Manny (Marquez) couldn't just have said, I want that fight at WW weight limit. I don't need any favors because I'm honorable. I'm not even criticizing Marquez. It's just the Floyd fans that criticize Manny fighting with CWs like as if its the plague but most don't go that crazy with other fighters that have done it. Plus they forget that Floyd called up Marquez who just moved up to 135 to fight at 144lbs but then Floyd came in at a healthy 146lbs .... lol! At least Manny actually went down to 143lbs.

but makes me laugh when you guys call it a "BS CW" when Manny tries to move up in weight to fight someone but then when its others that do something very similar against Manny, you call it "Manny forcing them to fight at WW" or "Marquez fighting the WW champ at a CW was OK because it was a compromise" lol! |

How can you guys always criticize CWs when Manny wants his opponents to compromise and go down a few pounds since Manny needs to go up way more but when its Manny's opponent that drags Manny down a few pounds, you guys talk differently? |

All this talk about 140, 147, and catch weights is ridiculous. That's all in the past.
Manny was comfortable at 147 and offered the fight to Marquez at the time. Pacquiao was under no obligation to make the fight more difficult for himself by going down to 140. It was up to Marquez to take it or leave it at 147. In the present however, since Marquez is dictating the terms, I feel he's probably in his right to start negotiating pay and weight. I could imagine Marquez either getting a bigger purse at 147 or a smaller one after negotiations at 140. |
