Could Manny beat Barker at 160 for a title?

I voted no. I don't think Floyd could beat Barker either. Manny is just a big lightweight who fights at welterweight so he can drink and eat well and easily make weight with no drying out. He would probably be outweighted by Barker by almost 25 pounds when they entered the ring. Barker is a world class fighter and it's just to much size and weight difference to overcome in my opinion. Mayweather would also be outweighed by almost 20 pounds in the ring if he fought Barker. I believe that Floyd and Manny are two of the very rare fighters that make weight without missing any meals or drying out at all. I assume Barker would gain the 10 or 15 pounds most middleweights gain between the weigh in and the fight. If so then he would come in the ring weighing 170 to 175 pounds.

I don't see why not? Roberto Duran won titles at middle weight and super middle weight and he was about the same size as Pac. With that said, Pac said the Margarito fight was the highest he could go.

MW is seriously pushing it lol. Skill for skill, Manny takes it, but there are weight classes for a reason.
