Manny has been given EVERY concession over the past few years. Shit, why don't we let him win the heavyweight belts at 145? Make him new belts in diamonds and every precious stone?

Still, the question lingers. Can he beat Floyd at 147 (in the near future)? Not a chance.
Manny is the king right, he is the head lion, why shouldn't he get the lion's share?

Floyd was only getting the Lion's share when he was king but he gave up that privilege when he went into hiding. Floyd has been campaigning as a welter weight for nearly 5 years, tell me/us when was the last time Floyd faced a real welter weight?

ooooppss.
Hiding? lol, is there a rule that says you can't take a break from the sport? At least he isn't creating his own belts and demanding catch weights to everyone. He fought oscar at 154 (that's super ww or junior middleweight in case you didn't know), and didn't demand that Oscar weight-drain himself so that he could look good. Floyd fights real boxing matches, pacquiao wins popularity contests. Enough said.
He went into hiding prime. Did not want to fight any real welter weights. Hid behind the WWE and Dancing with the stars these were scheduled events when fighters like Cotto, Margarito, Williams had opened calendars. Coincidences? NOT! It was ducking at it's best. So he faced De La Hoya an old de la hoya who had trouble with little stevie forbes. Floyd did nothing to ODLH while Manny beat ODLH up and down and all around the ring from the opening bell. Weight is not an issue for Floyd so why should you concern yourself with this. Manny started fighting pro at about 99 pounds soaking wet and wearing boots. Manny has just started to move up. Floyd had been at 140 and above for nearly 6 years.

Weight should never be an issue for some one who runs.

Just watch Haye vs BigFoot.
