I dont think Manny was Ko artist like Foreman or tyson
or tito
I always felt his knock downs he scored were because of his speed his angles and awkwardness
Hatton was knocked out cold because he came in hands down chin not tucked walking in by punch he did not see coming
Cotto i also was beat by mannys speed a accumulation of punches
the knockds manny scored was because cotto was caught off balance with punches he did not see
another thing they way manny fights of course he was going to burn out faster than floyd
Joe frazier was nowhere near the level he was at 35
Henry armstrong
hagler was good at 33 but he was not the same fighter
And other greats and so on and so on
It is not a shock that manny is not as good as he once was
I watched both fights of his last week of him vs morales 2 and 3
Manny does have higher boxing IQ now and is more more refined in some of his
technique
But Manny was so much faster back then and had better reflexes
But he was in his 20s
People thought that would last forever?
Fighters dont stay in there prime forever this is real life
