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 .

Originally posted by Reloaded View PostYes , it was a contracted weight much lower than what Oscar had been fighting at 154 , Oscar had not been 147 on fight night for over 10 yrs , he was ruined before the bell sounded .
As an example a LW champ fights a WW champ at 140 pounds , its a CW .

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

Originally posted by ADP02 View PostOscar'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.

No version of Oscar at any point of his career isn't getting absolutely wrecked by Manny from that night. Weight wasn't the issue, it was the skill and speed.
