Joshua asked:
If there’s a catchweight of 144 or something I think Manny has a chance; Mosley hasn’t weighed in less than 147 for 10+ years. If it’s a straight up welterweight bout, I’m afraid Manny might get hurt. Shane can make weight at 147 and enter the ring at 160! Thats probably 11 or 12 lbs more than Manny has ever weighed. In addition Shane is 2 1/2″ taller than Manny and has a 74″ reach to Manny’s 67″. Manny is giving up too much size and weight to fight someone like Shane. Shane beat the bricks off of Margarito and Antonio was 160 entering that fight and he’s 5′11″. I think Manny is an incredibly great boxer, but he’s been ko’d twice by guys who didn’t punch like Mosley does. If Manny wins He’ll move into a new level of badass. Shane has never been KO’d and he’s been in the ring with guys weighing 165-167 lbs. Manny’s barely a welterweight at fight time. Risk and Reward have always been the theme of boxing I guess.
