Most are going to say 140, but all he did there was starch Hatton. I'd say 147 is his best weight, right now.
Why? If the guy can easily make 140, I see absolutely no reason why he would be better at 147 than 140. On average he would be fighting bigger guys at 147 yet guys liek Bradley are pretty much his size at 140.
Because when you are beating the likes of Cotto the way he did at 147. I think its okay to say his best weight is now 147. He's probably not going back to 140.
His best weight was obviously at feather, however he just continues to clean out divisions so he has no choice but to go up in weight. Right now all the best fighters at 147lbs so thats where he is.
I don't know why people are saying 147. Manny can't even make that weight properly, he had to have 5 meals a day and protein shakes and everything else and that only got him to 145 or something. If he can't get to 147 then that's clearly not his weight class. Freddie has already said that he feels the most comfortable at 140, anyway.
Hes only fighting at 147 due to the lucrative fights available to him there. 140... back at feather he was draining
