    I don't like the catchweight at all...hence the point of this thread. If Manny beats a guy like Angulo, Martinez etc at 154 (defending his belt) then there isn't a whole lot people can say about him being a legit champ at 154.

    Again non of those fights were for a title and there are no legit champs at 154. So winning a VACANT PAPER title AGAINST AN UNDESERVING OPPONENT and defending it against a top guy (I HAVE TO ADD THIS IN - HEY, I CAN HOPE RIGHT? LOOK, I KNOW THIS PART ISN'T CONFIRMED BUT DOESN'T IT MAKE THE FIRST HALF OF THE SENTENCE SOUND A LOT BETTER?) there is the next best thing.
    Like I said:

    If him winning a vacant, catchweight paper title is more important than beating a better opponent then by all means, support it.

      it's just a tune up fight...better than asking a fighter 2 weights down to fight him at a catchweight.

        I agree that I think the max for Manny is 147. The only thing is I use to think the max for Manny was 130 back when he was blasting guys like Hussein and Lebwaba. All I'm saying is if he shows up at 150 and looks sensational against Margarito.

        This is one of those "What if" scenarios and since Manny has defined the odds, several times, It's kinda hard for me to say fighting at 154 is impossible.

          Marg looked great against Garcia..He truly deserved to fight Manny more so than any other opponents not named Floyd.

              A tuneup for $60. Back to back. Good stuff.

                I'm telling you that f*gs like yourself will find another excuse for him when he doesn't. Like how you do now.

                  The only available opponent that looks sensational was Martinez in his fight with Pavlik.

                  Alexander looked like **** against Kotelnik
                  Bradley looked like **** against Abregu
                  Williams looked like **** against Cintron
                  Berto career is complete ****

                  I mean am I missing someone? If you want to play that game....lets keep it real and bring up those other guys looking sub-par in their recent fights.

                    True that. If they had gotten KTFO in their previous bout to go along with "looked like ****" in their next one they'd be a perfect candidate for lil Manolo and his band of d*ckriders.

                      cotto-berto winner @ 154 or 147. doesn't matter.

                      maybe the winner out of (khan-maidana winner vs bradley alexander winner). that would be good as well, unless it was khan - then the fight wouldn't happen.

                      martinez @ 154 is compelling as well - but he may be too big. that would be a GREAT victory.

                      if he wants to make a STATEMENT he would fight pwill. not even the most ******ed and delusional boxing fans could deny him at that point. won't happen though.
