    Roach was asked whether Manny would go back to 135 after the DLH fight. He said no. Manny couldn't make the weight.

    Pac was an enormous fighter. A JCC jr level weight cutter with blazing speed and power.

    I think he meant what I meant; that Manny could've cut less weight for years if he'd fought at lightweight sooner.

    In a perfect world kinda' stuff.

    Same as. Pisses me off.

    Adrian Broner wouldn't beat Gaspar Ortega, Gil Turner or Virgil Akins. Let's have it right.

    And Julio Cesar Chavez Jr wouldn't beat any of the 180lb heavyweight contenders of the past. He wouldn't beat an Oakland Billy Smith!

    Matthysse Vs Kalule? Don't make me laugh.

    Nonito Donaire would've like been a bantam, feather and lightweight already.

    Just too much about the modern game that puts me off.

    Boxers have always tried to cut weight though, I know it's your birthday but I reckon Arguello must have had to cut a load of weight. Leonard reckoned Hearns went up 3 or so weight classes. 24 hour weigh ins just let you put more carbs/water/nutrients back in your system to fill out and recover.

    No one ever went the distance with Pac at 122. At that weight, he was a phenom. Like Roy Jones/Mike Tyson level

    So lets say Pac was a feather as a teen, that raw undefined man ain't beating naz nor the wbc guy (forget his name now, Mexican I think).

    At lightweight he'd bed facing the likes of Floyd, Castillo, Corrales, Casamayor and Freitas, followed by Diaz, Campbell, Guzman, Marquez and that big lanky **** who got unlucky but was a h2h beast.

    Basically, Pac stopped cutting at the right time. He took his chance at fly and ultimately it cost him. At sbw he never faced the likes of Ayala, Adams nor Larios. At feather he did good things but got soundly out boxed by Juan. From SFW until JMM4 he really achieved greatness.

    I struggle to see that raw skinny pinoy overcoming the lightweight division in the early 00's so it's a good job he cit weight.

    To be fair it's perfectly legal so I wouldn't hold it against him at all.

    TO be fair, Ledwaba was as good as those three you mention at 122.
