There is no doubt both were weight effected to suggest one is worse than the other is fanboy stuff.
The thing is Manny has the world record for draining fighters and manipulating weight he would force guys one way or the other depending on if they thought they could get an advantage.
The most blatant scenario of weight posturing was Manny vs Cotto for Cottos WW title at 145, Cotto didn't even want to put his title on the line but Arum being the same promoter pressured Cotto on the weight and putting his title up. He threw Cotto under the bus and Cotto quickly left when he legally could.
Manny calls Cotto out when Cotto held the 154 belt, Cotto says no problems but no CW, Manny takes off like a Jack Rabbit and Floyd steps in.
Now if Manny really beat Cotto the man and not a weight drained Cotto he would not have ran away after he called him out the second time, it was weight that beat Cotto and that's why Manny flat refuses to fight Cotto without a CW, if he had Cottos number he should be able to beat him at any weight, he didn't want to even try after he was the one that called him out.
