    My weight fluctuates by 5 lbs daily, but I'm not an athlete :|

    Everyone's body is different, Manny is just one of those guys that can cut and gain weight and still be effective. He's a small welterweight but he's not too small for the division. He's like the Curtis Stevens of the welterweight division, in terms of size lol

    Yea, I wouldn't encourage Pac to go down to 135. At his age it would take more out of him to cut weight. I think even if he fights bigger opponents, his talent allows him to compete with bigger guys.

    He moved up to WW when WW was blowing up with talent and lucrative fights. Nowadays, it seems that 140 is the better weight class to be in, so why not move back down there? If he can't secure a Mayweather fight, that's his only move. Or fight Broner at 147. I'd pay to see that ass kicking.

    Manny probably walk around at 143/144. On an empty stomach and bladder, he could easily weight 138/139.

    Outside of Brook and Chino, those are Haymon guys.

    Arum and Haymon dont seem to work together much.

    They also tend to be on different channels

    Chino said he was offered the Pac fight.

    I think money talks, hopefully Haymon & Arum stop being divas & can make it happen.
