I got this from Pacland and I am pretty sure everyone was thinking the same thing few years back.
Here are some of the posters reply.
"Manny should stay at 126 and 130 . . . again I'm reminding you guys of his physical limitations. The proportion of his height, shoulder width and reach doesn't warrants him to fight in the higher weight class where he is going to encounter naturally bigger and naturally much powerful opponents than him. Of course he can fight in the 135 or 14O divisions if he choses to but he is not going to be a FORCE to be reckoned with anymore.
Why do that when he is reaping FAME and FORTUNE at his division now. Learn from De La Hoya and Sugar Shane Mosley!"
"IMO, MANNY SHOULD REMAIN AT 126-130... 135 CAN BE QUITE AMBITIOUS FOR PAC..."
"...are you kidding?! Manny versus Tszu? Mayweather?! ...i doubt it... Manny would be like midget in a diving suit... i think 135 would be the heaviest Manny can compete... keepin it real."
"I agree. Manny should not go beyond 130 lbs. Look what happen to Trinidad, Delahoya, and Mosley. Everyone's got their limits. Let Manny stay in boxing's most exciting division and dominate!!!!!"
"AS I HAVE SAID IN THE OTHER THREAD, LORDING OVER THE FEATHERWEIGHTS (126) AND LIGHTWEIGHTS (130 & 135) BEFORE MANNY RETIRES WILL MAKE HIM THE GREATEST FILIPINO EVER TO ENTER IN ANY SPORTS!!! SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT OR JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT (140) WILL BE TOO MUCH FOR MANNY!!! POSSIBLE BUT NOT PROBABLE!!!
JUST BEING A 5 TIME CHAMPION (112, 122, 126, 130 & 135 LBS. DIVISION) WILL DO!!! "

And peeps wont even give him a break for 150 catchweight. He is being crucified for doing one catchweight in his entire boxing career
