Please tell me, Are Larios, 3K, Vasquez (0k?!!), A shot Morales, AND NOW Chi? If you don't mind kindly notice the fact that Larios skipped a weight class to fight at 130 for the first time. Now Chi is going to do the same? B.S! What's the difference if Manny fights Soto, Valero, or at the very least Klassen? Those guys are settled 130 pounders. Take note of the word 'settled'.
I really don't get it. Do you really think that Soto would be any more of a challenge than Chi or Larios? I don't. I don't think Manny would have any problem stopping Soto. Or Klassen. Or Valero. Those fights don't sound challenging and therefore aren't really any more intriguing that this one is. Ok, Valero would be--even though he wouldn't last 3 rounds--because it would be all fireworks. But Valero's said numerous times to the press that he's "not ready" for a Pac fight and needs at least 3 more fights before he might be. I'll grant that Guzman would be a tougher opponent than Chi, but I think Manny deserves a break. Chi is still a lot better than a lot of the tomato cans that other so-called top 10 p4p fighters are facing in their next fights (e.g, Hatton, Castillo, Calzaghe).
