Manny has had one catch weight fight, he went up to face Barrera, Morales, Hatton, De La Hoya, etc.

The Miguel Cotto fight is the first fight he has done at a catch weight where Miguel has to lose two more pounds than usual? One more pound than his last fight?

Gomez, along with a lot of other greats, wouldn't even dreamed of acclompishing what Manny has done in terms of the success he has had at higher weights.
