So The Question Is: Will Manny Stay At 154 & Defend His Title...

[$tate of Mind]

After the way Foreman performed against Cotto, I'm betting Freddie is shaking his head wondering 'what could've been'.

Lol very true

So you're saying mid-way into training camp they were having regrets about picking a fight at 150? That's only 3 lbs. north of 147. Why would that be cause for concern?

I can't say that they are having regrets for this current fight. Someone asked them if they planned on continuing at 154. Just before training the answer was yes and that Margo was hopefully a stepping stone. Not too long ago the response was different. They are seeing that it's harder work to train for 154 and consequently, to fight at 154.

I still think they will gauge AFTER the fight with Margo. Just like they did with Oscar and Cotto. Once they beat those 2 they felt more comfortable fighting at 147 against Clottey.

If one is objective about it, it makes sense.

It seems more like Manny, or rather his advisors, are trying to prove that if Floyd can do it at 154 and capture a title, so can he. It merely adds more fuel to the controversy.

Mindbat my bwoy,what fuel to what controversy??Floyd beat a 154lb champ while weighing in at 149 while the champ weight in at 154!!This Pacman catchweight is exactly 3 measley pounds over welterweight and 4 whole pounds less than 154!!Not to mention it isn't against a 154lb champion,it's against a cheater that got a miracle from father Bob!!

I'm saying Margo should not win this one cause challenging for a title while forcing all kinds of stipulations on his opponent to then end up losing, is not gonna look good for Pac at all.

In-house fighter who's last two fights Freddie insinuated were proof of a non-threating opponent.

I think boxing is going to have to institute some type of rule that states you have to defend a title at least 1 time before you can vacate it.

This shid is just too crazy manny catchuiao is making a mockery of the catchweight and abuse the rules of boxing just to add to his so called "legacy''

He should be discredited some what when he gets IBHOF consideration

Well I know some Pac fans weren't too thrilled at the announcement of a Margo fight at a catchweight. But it is what it is. There might even be a rematch if the fight doesn't disappoint.
