      But having read many Ronnie N. article, I know the Wakee "Rex" Salud is Manny's close friend and confidant.

        This is show business baby, if the adviser, spokesman, said it, its just as good as gold baby. Why do you go to great lengths to protect Manny?

          You clearly have a warped view of what unnatural is. Manny and JMM fighting above 140 is unnatural given their size. Taylor who was always a big mw fighting 8 lbs higher was always going to happen because he couldn't get down to mw as easily anymore. The rematch clause with Pav at 166 should be enough to convince you that smw is Taylor's choice weight.

            Manny is a welterweight on fight night when he fought at 130, so fighting above 140 isnt unnatural as you want to spin it. If he stayed close to 130 during that time he wouldnt be rehydrating to 147.

              most cruiserweights are heavyweights at fight night. Does that make them heavyweights? You are what your lowest possible weight class is.

                If this the case then it is "unnatural" for PBF to be fighting above 140 as well. To answer the OP, maybe Manny doesn't think he can beat PBF? Regardless, when I first read his advisers statement, him ducking floyd is the first thing that came to mind.
