Can you see that fool fighting This content is protected , as Joshua comes into the ring at damn near 165???
He should move back down to 140 and fight Hatton. If I had my way, he'd be fighting the best of LW and proving himself even further. What better way to solidify your status then to barge into the supposed strongest division and beat the best. 2009 for Manny; Hatton, Juan Diaz/Nate Campbell; JMM 3. Of course, that's barring him getting KTFO by Oscar. I'm STILL saying Pac can win on PTS. But I AM a realist lol.
Not even if he wins by 1 rd KO. My sorry to say as a big Pac fan, but guys like PTP, Cotto, Clottey, Margo, and even Berto would humble Pac into retirement.
dlh is not an elite welter to begin with, those days are gone. margo, williams, and cotto are because they hold or held belts not to long ago. pac beating an old dlh won't prove much as a bigger dlh beating a worthy midget won't as well. this is still an interesting fight to watch built by hype and we don't get many of these much. we all know dlh should of been fighting cotto or margo to get back his elite status as pacman should of been fighting jmm, casa, or juan diaz, but in his case he is in his prime. and as for my answer should he stay at 147 if he wins? even tho dlh is not an elite, he can still fight and is a threat to anyone 147-154 as is mosley. i don't think manny should stay at 147 cuz margo will give him a concussion with his jockstrap, but if he did beat dlh i'd like to see him stay at 140, and hopefully fight hatton or lure pbf out.
pac is fighting 2 more times in 2009 and then calls it a day. his only possible opponents after dlh are hatton & jmm @140 and possibly mayweather @142-143 if he beats dlh in dec. 6. pac is not going back to 135.
NO move back down to either 140 or 135, because he definbately owes Juan Mauel Marquez a rematch and their is a potential money maker in hatton and pac especially at wembley were you could get 120000 people in that stadium.
