It just occured to me that Peter Manfredo would make the perfect step up opponent for Brian Vera, John Duddy and maybe Andy Lee after that.

Why the hell is he fighting at 168 where he has NO CHANCE and not instead contemplating a move down to 160 where there are a bunch of prospects that not only he could fight, but that he could realistically beat as well?

If he moved down and fought Vera a fight I reckon he would win, then went on to fight Duddy, again a winnable fight for him, he's back in contention for another world title shot.

I know most rain on him, but Pride likes him so he'd probably agree with me.

He would have a much brighter future at 160
