All boxers move up, with the exception of heavyweights, because there is no where else to go. As a boxer matures, his body starts to fill out and he can't make the lower weigghts. Manny is maturing and has to move up. If Manny were to try to fight at 106 lbs, he could not make the weight. he has not fought at that low weight since he was a kid. Time brings on weight, even with world-class athletes. At some point Manny wiil not be able to fight at the next higher weight. I don't think he could ever fight as a middle weight. Middle weights are too big and strong for him. There is a limit on moving up in weight.
