Exactly mate, Everyone including myself thought the size difference especially with fact Manny had only fought at 135 once befor making the jump up was just going top be the huge factor.

Mother nature wins eventually type thing but Because DLH drained himself is supposed to take away from Mannys victory, truth is no matter what condition Oscar was in if Manny won there would have been excuses for why he did.

That is why I referenced Hatton in my other post because 140 was Httons division and he was the Ring Champion, not just recently either.

But it was Mannys fault Ricky could not get out of the way of his punches....

People need to just give credit where it is due at times...

I dislike a lot of fighters but give the credit deserved...

EG- PBF is an asshole who has cherry picked fights through half his career but aside from it there is no taking away from his talent. It was not even to say he could not beat the guys he avoided just he was not willing to put in the chances of losing
