Lets think about what we are saying here....A guy who fought at 130 just 2 years ago is expected to face the Middleweight Ring champ. Sometimes you guys talk **** and flame yet are actually giving Manny compliments without knowing.

1) Main reason is that Martinez moved on to 160 and did not retain his 154 belt. There would be no point in fighting him if Manny doesn't get rewarded with a belt especially when he can fight another guy (Margo) for a belt.
2) Margo is an Arum guy and by fighting Margo, he can hit 2 birds with one stone. If everything turns out right, Margo looks good enough to come back from the dead and Manny gets himself a title.
3) You must remember that Manny is going for the title. His opponent doesn't necessarily need to be the best at 154. He can leave that option for another day.

Did he not feel confident enough to similarly destroy Cotto, a top 5 WW, at the full 147 limit? The same can be said for this Margarito fight - is he that frightened of letting a LMW come in at the divisional limit; hence he can only destroy him at 150?
Originally posted by Mr. Copeland View PostAlso he was willing to face the best WW in Mayweather at 147 as well but I guess we tend to forget about that in an attempt to flame...no offense but lets be real here for a second.
