Out of curiosity, who would you prefer Manny to fight after Margarito?
TBH, I think he could have fought any of the available fighters.
Before the fight was signed with SSM there were several names presented to him by Bob Arum. He took what I consider to be the easy fight.

It also makes it tougher to discredit the win.
Not me and that can be seen in the posts that I made prior to the fight.
ODLH had absofuckenlutely NO CHANCE and whoever thought he did were clearly not looking at the matchup for what it was.
It was an old boxer who had seen his best days many moons ago and would be a walking corpse trying to make 147.
Like I said I'm speaking for me, whoever thought the weight would be ODLH's advantage were crazy. Yeah it would be an adavantage if the fight would have been made at a weight which ODLH was natural at 154. But that wasn't case.
He had to drain himself down to 147, ODLH naturally at that time walk around 160/170.
I had seen him probably 1 month before he announced he was fighting.
Now that I remember, even before he announced his opponent he 1st announced he was fighting at 147 and right there and then I said no matter who he fought he would lose.
I'm gonna try and dig out my posts so you can see for yourself I'm not turning it around after the fight. I remember even leading up to the Forbes fight he couldn't fucken hit 150.
