Hey, I called it... Manfredo to move to 160

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

“I’d like to go back down to 160 (pounds) because I feel I’m too small fighting some of these guys.
It’s not that I can’t fight at super middleweight, but I want to be the best I can, and I think that’s at middleweight. I only plan on boxing until I’m 30, so I have three years left to make one last run at aworld title. Let’s see how I do against guys my size. I’m not sure when I’ll be fighting at 160. I’m thinking maybe my next fight will be at 165. Benfield’s a big guy who fought as a cruiserweight.”
Since graduating from his role in The Contender I, Manfredo’s fought in Wales, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, but he enjoys fighting at home. “It’s the best,” Peter said about fighting in Rhode Island. “There’s no place like home. It’s all about being comfortable in your surroundings. At home, I have my family and friends, sleep in my own bed, eat food I like…..everything is comfortable.

Who'd have thunk it?...Pride made a correct prediction. The world is a crazy place at times.

The best he can be is south of that again!

I have no idea why he ever decided to go to Super Middle.

He had deffinite weight issues at 54... But moving up 14 pounds? Fire your handlers!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I'll be coving his next fight along with tonights ESPN scraps for the site

Thats for sure! Man I couldn't believe it to be honest, but I do suppose he made more money than many fighters so it wasn't completely nosensical.

A logical move not a noble move.

True... I still say that 154 would be best... That is a lack luster div. right now

Actually Mike is called Frank Warren offering you alot of money , to fight an established world champion , as a no risk fight and lets cheat the paying public for a change.

Once again we are in your debt Mr Warren.( and thankyou WBO also )another test for your champions.

Manfredo has limited power and ability so he should fight at the lowest weight he can .

good, he looks like a fatty at 168, dont know what he was doing there

well i do... earning money by fighting calzaghe but anyway...

So Peter is tipping his hand right there. Take him out of his comfort zone and you have a definite edge over him. And why retire at 30? He already has the face of a 50 year old with all the shots he's taken.

Sergio Mora called him out right after their second fight and Peter peed on himself.

I'm sure... He beat Sergio up the second fight so that's probably not the case...

He'd take on Jeff Lacy and Joe Calzaghe but he's ducking Mora... Are you ok?



Greal fwockin pic, LOL

Regardless of what weight he fights at, I don't seem him being a world champion. He's just a flat out ordinary fighter and thats being generous. These "contender Guys" are just like American Idol contestants. Made for TV prospects hyped up to sound better than they really are.

Yeah but remember that Manfredo WAS an actually legit prospect back in 04... Not overhyped... I will allow that tag now, though

You seem to be a Manfredo fan, but also a realist, so I guess you would probably be the best person to pose this question to. What happened to Manfredo from legit prospect till now?
