    Thanks for pointing that out for me. Here is me thinking that a SM is supposed to fight at 168 and not 180. How foolish of me.

    The point I was trying to make is that people somehow try to easily bypass the fact Margo came in at a SM weight and Manny was at Welter and he is the one sending the bigger guy to hospital. But all people want to cry about is Manny fighting at catchweight. It makes absolutely no difference when a guy is allowed to pile on another 20 pounds in 24hrs.
    it makes a TON of difference. Actually step into a ring or do something that requires a serious weight cut before you criticse.

    The body recoups differently and everything. You're no longer as comfortable. hence the reason roach wont led manny shed an extra 4lbs to fight at 140 and will only fight at 147 now, so that manny is "comfortable"

    Margy and others don't have that 'comfort" zone when training that manny has, because they are forces to shed even more weight. The recovery has very little to do with it.

                    Abraham is going to KO Froch. He's taken this very seriously - just by looking at the size of his upper torso, and by all means no ****, it's much more thicker than for the Dirrell fight. Click the link for comparison - http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=26371
