In suggesting that you have give and take in order to accomodate two fighters who are used to different weigh in's.

I don't see how that can be considered in any way unfair or unreasonable. However, all you get are the 'Pac is god and Marquez must kneel if he wants the fight' arguments. That to me is grotesquely unfair.
My own view seems to have gotten lost here. Let me summarize.
1) Best fight would be for the 135 lineal belt and I think Manny could make it without hurting his performance. Given that, 140 won't impair Manny either and so it serves no incremental purpose I can see.
2) Under any weight limit we've mentioned, these two men will fight in the ring withing 3-4 pounds of one another anyway so a lot of this is much ado about nothing

3) 140 vs. 144 I think is immaterial and I'm equally unhappy with either

Now what were we arguing again?
