Was Manny SEVERELY drained when he fought Marquez?

Theres an excuse for every Manny lose or close fight,didn't you know that?

Manny (acting on Roach's advice I would imagine) always uses his drawing power as a negotiating hammer to make sure that the opposing fighter is at some kind of weight disadvantage. Is at a weight that is just slightly (or in DLH's case, a little more than slightly lol) uncomfortable. At this level of competition any advantage is huge.

Are you implying that the fight with Oscar would have been a fair fight at 154?

mayweather fought him at 154 so what you mean by fair? oscar I think came in at 165

Idiot. Oscar was the one who suggested 147. Manny is not yet a superstar pre Oscar fight.

I'll grant the one exception. Oscar did it to himself, but since Oscar I'm right and you know it.

Also,you shouldn't call names. It just exposes you as the sycophant infant that you are.

Mayweather moved up in weight to 154 to fight Oscar De La Hoya at his NATURAL weight

yep. and Mayweather fought thrice in WW division before Oscar, Pac had 1 fight at lightweight. Do the math.

Though it looked a mismatch to begin with, yes, as it turns out I think it would have been a much more competitive fight at 154. But, as I said, Oscar did it to himself. I'm guessing that Roach calculated that DLH would be severely weight drained at 147 and thus Oscar's desire to win Mexican fans by beating Pac played right into his hands.

It's all speculation, but then that's what we're here for, isn't it?

Though I somewhat agree, we can only say this after the fight. Only the *******s were giving Manny a chance to win that fight. @147 every knowledgeable boxing fans and experts alike thought it was a mismatch.

LOL!! Which Oscar regretted. He then realizes that he should have fought Floyd at 147 where Oscar would be faster. Check your history.
