I do think that if its for a championship, vacant or not... it should be at the official limit of 154. I said the same when he fought Cotto but still gave him the benefit of the doubt for that win and said it was legit, but doing it a second time takes the piss a little bit, cause its like stealing history.
If it was any other fighters trying to do this people WOULD complain, if its just once then fine I gave him the benefit of the doubt... but doing it a second time takes the piss, if it was anyone else doing it a second time in a row then people would be pissed off with them, it shouldn't be different with Manny... there shouldn't be seperate rules for Manny.
But with that said, I am not gonna cry about it... and there are much worst fights that could be made, the only thing with this fight is that I will and I think a lot of others will look down on it a bit because of the catch weight, cause as I said its like stealing history... whether people think it will make a difference or not.
