His weight class achievement is severely overrated seeing he had consistently weighed in on fight night in the 142-144 range way back as far as fighting 130? With the exception of Margarito and Clottey who was a punching bag and thru 2 punches around tell me the last guy Manny fought in his prime that he didn't out weigh?? You realize you won't find it anywhere with in the last 5-6 years. He outweighed Oscar Delahoya by a pound and a 1/2 in their fight...

He was fighting at 129 just over 3 years ago so what does it matter what age he turned pro?

He's fought in 5 weight classes (well almost 150, say 4 and a half) in 3 and a half years.

Who else has matched that?

Ok if Manny is always fighting smaller guys, then who has he fought recently he did outweigh?

It's ridiculous to suggest he was the bigger man going in against Mosley and Hatton.

Floyd has fought legitimately at 154. He's not fought below welterweight since 2005, that's 6 years at welter. He's has no excuse for not moving back up to 154 if he believes he's the best ever.

As for Manny, I don't remember him claiming that at every opportunity. He's always just been very humble and won't care less if you don't rate him or not. He'd still shake your hand and let you pose for a photo with him.

Floyd on the other hand, well we saw against Larry...he cares.

So man up, and move up.
