    Manny just looked way to strong at 130 he should be at 135 ..His first fight should be with Katsidas that fight would be a battle for the ages ..Make it happen !!

    I don't know...I think 130 is actually pushing if for Manny much less 135. He's a great fighter but at some point you have to draw the line on how far you go up in weight or you will get beat.

    His ring weight the other night was 144; while he might not have as many physical advantages at 135, his body could handle it.

    It be less stress on him as far as having to make weight ..It would suit him better but what ever he decides I will watch regardless ..

    This is really what killed him in the MAB fight. He was 4 pounds over the day of the weigh in and had to lose it then go up to 144 the next day. This will **** you your body up, thats why he looked a bit lethargic.

    My pt exactly ..Especially with the way Manny goes eventually he will start to gas out ..And with age it might be best for him to start going up in weight ..

    Correct:good , is there any wonder that seconds, seconds! after the MAB fight we started hearing 135??? Thats because PAC will lose another fight like this against a livelier fighter. With 2 movies, 5 teleseries and two albums in the works..how the hell could he possibly train properly. I mean he trained pretty well for this fight and still wasnt enough time to drain, you know its really tough, like he said he couldnt wait for the cutting process, he wants food..hes 5'6 1/2

    It only gets harder with age ..And with the level these guys are fightng at for them to pro long their careers they need to do what best suits them..There are too many examples of weight being an issue for fighters :

    Cotto


    Morales


    Mosley etc etc ..

    Yeah and with Morales as done as he was, he had more for Diaz at 135 than with PAC at 130 because at least he didnt have to drain himself.

    Pac better not leave 130 before he fights JMM. JMM would seal his legacy and make him a proper 130lb champ. Valero & Guzman can follow him to 135 but Pac-JMM happens in 126. If this fight doesnt happen, it will be one of the biggest "what if's" in boxing history.

    It's up to JMM. He was given a Chance & he blew it & fight for $30K. Pac moved up & Chased Barrera & Morales. If Pac decided to Moved up at 135 then it's up to JMM to Chased Pac at 135. That's where the Money is.

    Its not about money, its about legacy. Beating JMM would be adding another HOF to his victory list and avenging that draw. He should fight JMM for free if he has to, guy has enough money and the love of his country.
