Joshua Clottey has just done the same thing and pretty much got away with it.
Manny was around 148 on his last fight night. I think he could get to around 154 for a fight with Oscar. I wouldn't rule out his chances just yet anyway.
I take on board what you are saying about wanting to see him fight Tony, but for everything Oscar has done in his career, i think people should go a little easy on him. He's given so much to the sport. I can't think of too many fighters in their peak now who are going to end up with a resume anywhere near as good os his.
If he can earn triple what he would from a tougher fight, then i say he deserves to go for it.
