    Technically the highest ranked guy he could possibly fight is Floyd. He just doesn't like needles or 40 million dollars enough to do it.

    It was 147, though Pac weighed in at 144 or so at the weigh in, I think, and was 148 in the ring. Cotto was Pac's only catchweight fight.

    Practically anything he does from here on out will be downplayed for not fighting the only fighter out there (Floyd Mayweather Jr.) who can beat him. Not saying Clottey is an easy fight but his style will be perfect for another Manny highlight reel knockout!!!!

    Oscar weighed 145.

    Still, that fight was oscar's mistake.
    He should have retired before.

    Clottey is a dangerous fight for ANYONE 147 and down. It wasnt the fight i wanted but its still a good fight......just wished it wasnt PPV though.

    It's a good fight, and I'll order it, but I expect Manny to win based on how his style matches up against Clottey. Clottey is big, but doesn't impose his size the way he should. He uses is mostly to his defensive advantage.

    What do you think Clottey has in his arsenal that will give Manny trouble? If you think Clottey can win this fight how do you think he can win it?

    Clottey is the toughest opponent available

    I think clottey has decent hand speed, but he fights in bursts which give manny an edge.

    I think he is big enough to take Manny's punches and if he can impose his size, he can back him up, but he is not a good enough boxer to beat manny.

    I don't see a harder fight for manny right now than clottey(expect shane and floyd obviously) so this is the best it gets if you ask me.

    I will say this with 100% certainty. If floyd mayweather jr. signed to fight Clottey, I would give him some huge props. I don't think anyone would be calling Floyd a cherry picker, and floyd is the naturally bigger guy than Manny.

    Manny is acting like a real boxing champion. Floyd is acting like a WWE wrestler who doesn't want to give his spot up to a new guy.
