I don't think people realize what 5-7 lbs means in a fight. Everyone is like just move up . why does this fighter stay here ? why does he not move up? Simple ansewer , a leap into another weight division is huge disadvantage to a smaller built fighter. , especially in the lighter weight divisions . Tremendous difference in opponents power, size, height, strength. If your a fighter that dries out to make weight, you can move up a bit, but if you come in correct at certain weight. Thats it ! thats your weight, If you move up from that point ,better then average chance of getting snuffed out !
but when you think it like this........................be recognised as a winner and get a shit load of money if i was in marquez's boots i would be offering manny a fight right now! at the momment he is the man to beat and they had a great fight and it ended in the draw! so if he wants the cash and the rep.......offer out manny..........or you could go the safer option fight bums and look for a idoiot of a champ scott harrison.............i know who i wud pick!
