Manny has no business at 147lbs

[ELPacman]

Now when I say business, I do not mean $$$ because sure there is plenty to be found there. I mean, so many people are aching to see him face a legit 147lber based on his Oscar win. Well you know, he's not a real welterweight. He looked small in the ring against Oscar even coming in 1 or 2lbs more than Oscar. Oscar's body was still the frame of a middleweight. Manny's only intention on jumping to the weight was for the Oscar fight because lets get real, it was Oscar. It brought an international doorway to fame and $$$. With that established, he could go back down where he really belongs which obviously 135lbs is out of the question so he'll stick to 140lbs. The only true fights remaining for him are Marquez and Floyd Jr.(unfinished business and best of this era) Anyone else disagree, please discuss?

it's all about Money... like mayweather and marquez has no business fighting each other... it's all about Money now..

yea he's strong and could beat a lot of the 147 lders, but he doesn't belong there.

I agree. Cotto or Mosley would murder him in a ring.

Cotto wouldn't, very good style match up for Pacquiao. I'm 100% sure he wouldn't beat Pacquiao. Shane? maybe.

[AssasinKing]

Agreed....hes not got the right frame size for welter....well saying that floyd is at welter but then again who has he really faught that are big welters in last few years....

He seems perfect for 140 in my eyes especially how he looked against hatton

[No Ceiling]

its always been MONEY. you got to school to learn and use that to get a job.

Good style match up for Pacquiao? Since when?

Man i'm tired of everyone bitching about this stuff... Let Manny fight whoever the hell he wants, if Manny and Roach think they can take Cotto or Mosley then let them try, Manny and Roach are obviously not ****** so if they think they can do then no one else shoud have a problem with a career decision that another man is making, just stfu and watch the fight. just like Bert Sugar said some of the best fights of all time have been from guys moving up in weight. Just like Mayweather and Marquez, if anyone really think this is gonna be a walk in the park for Mayweather like his father said then they are delusional, these two are very similar in size and Marquez is one of the best if not the best technical/smart fighters today... Just shut up and stop crying

Well when Mayweather destroyed Gatti, there was no one at 140, except Hatton and Cotto but they weren't ready. Pacquiao has Bradley, Ortiz but that doesn't bring in any money. I mean, Pacquiao just beat the best Jr WW in 2, why shouldn't he move up to 147? He'd beat Berto and is more then capable of beating Cotto. So I can't agree with what your saying.
