    You're right. 154 is a division. Fighting an unranked junior middleweight at 150 (Margarito) for a belt is a far worse catchweight.
    if i am a floyd fan this clearly is an excuse

      True it was a cherry pick gone very wrong , not Mannys fault but he beat a dead man walking and fans pumping the win up for Manny is not telling the whole story , actually I bet the version of Oscar Floyd fought , the 20 lb bigger Oscar that Floyd fought , would beat the hell out of Manny probably stopping him .

          You will see on May 2nd how a non drained bigger fighter handles Manny because the exact scenario is in this fight , this the smallest guy Floyd has fought is many years , and Floyd is not drained , Manny is getting dominated as you will see .

            As an example a LW champ fights a WW champ at 140 pounds , its a CW .
            Oscar's S & C coach said after the fight that Oscar was in good condition. Oscar was having issues with southpaws even during his training camp. They made a few bad decisions with letting go some of his sparring partners.

              if i am a floyd fan this clearly is an axcuse.

              we know better than floyd himself so we know what he really meant.

                Yup there were rumblings that Oscar was getting worked by southpaws during his training camp. Sort of like the same rumblings we're hearing now about Floyd. Wonder if he hired Spadafora again

                  if i am a floyd fan i will not question a floyd fan judgement what is an excuse exactly and what is not an excuse.

                    Lol that was one funny answer. Show how a true groupie would answer. Its bad of its him but not bad if its him. Keep going groupie.

                      Haha , another CW where the fighter is dehydrated as slow as a sloth, put in a 26ft ring with 10oz gloves , coming of a bad KO loss and 2 years out for cheating , you boys should get some knowledge about inside the game its not all hype you know lol . ******s with a capitol R , and I forgot Margo was found to have Diuretics in his dressing room have a look what that does .
