Can Manny win coming in at 140-141 lbs?

[ELPacman]

On fight night that is. Or should he try the Barrera and come in around 132-133lbs to maintain most of his speed though possibly less power? I don't know though weighing in at 140lbs, he looks abit sluggish.

we need to see it first, pac has been going up in weight for a couple of weight classes already, 4 if im not mistaken and nothing has changed, same speed, same power, so its a possibility he can carry that same speed and power up to another class but he will be too small there

[Verstyle]

nope. he doesnt carry enough power . plus I think morales is heavier ne way. when walking around weight

no, you have to keep in mind what the advantage of a particular fighter is...

Manny's biggest advantage has always been his speed, conditioning, and ability to throw combinations, etc...

he has power, but it mainly comes from speed and his dedication to throwing punches...not necessarily effortless power like Foreman...

Manny needs to be able to throw combinations, fast, and work for 12 rounds...and 2 1/2 minutes of every round...

he is not a slickster or a defensive machine...he is what he is...a hyperactive speedy, well conditioned fighter...it is best to take advantage of what a fighter does best and exploit it as a trainer...

just like for Mosley...Mosley went bad after he scored a couple of post DLH knockouts at welterweight...then all of a sudden acted as if he were some power puncher...therfor throwing away what got him there...his speed and combination punching..

I think he should come in less than he did in the first fight. I think he went up to like 139 or something like that. He looked a little slower then before.

if i recall it right he came in at 136... morales was at 138 iguess... anyway... 140-141 is too much weight for pac IMO come fight night... i say weigh at 135 or less...

possibility -- none
probability -- none

[ELPacman]

Their first fight, Morales came in at 140lbs and Manny at 139lbs. I think that extra weight showed as he looked a lot slower and seeingly less mobile. Perhaps coming in at 132 or 133lbs would be his best option. Either way, Morales will be the bigger man

[MlLkMan]

Manny should come in at 138, same as the Barrera fight.

[jack_the_rippuh]

I think he should come in lighter.
