    Yes Manny is a p4p great, but did what De La Hoya do was right? Making a guy who just fought once over 130 pounds at that time to fight him? In fact quite a few people on this board expected and wanted Manny to jump up 3 weight classes so that De La Hoya would get a "fair" fight.
    Thank you...Like I said all along....I don't say it is OK for Donaire to do it...Nor do I think based on his opp he deserves his rating but you can't persecute one guy and not the other....I was not speaking on a Ratings factor...Just in general...Floyd and Oscar did the same thing but just on a higher level...But I never seen the same criticism being dished out to those guys...

    Hence the hater comment....

    Other then that I agree with everything Both KS and Killer made on this just can't give some guys a pass but others the OK regardless of level of skill...And the size difference between Donaire and Vargas is exaggerated....They are pretty close in size...hell of a lot closer then DLH/PAC..

    Plus like I said Vargas has had 10 fights at 110lbs or above...I think he has even fought as high as 113....so the making 114lbs to fight Donaire was not really a huge step in weight for him...Vargas struggles to make 105
