Angel Manfredy...
what do ya'll think ?
He had very good boxing skills. He had decent power. He was marketable. He had tremendous heart. He had good sportsmanship. He would never quit...but his chin was fragile. If he could only take a punch? Not saying he would have been an all time great but he probably would have been close to the top if had a better beard.
Manfredy ws a drama queen. And Puerto Rican.
Two strikes.
lol, what boxer isnt a drama queen ???
Manfredy was a class act and a good sportsman. He just didnt have a beard. His boxing skills were slightly underrated.
He's got decent boxing skills alright. Except for the tats, the name, and the nickame - he's just an ordinary fighter. Relaxes, can't raise up the level of his game against mediocre fighters. His only claim to fame was Gatti, Floyd and Chico exposed him as...nothing special.
gatti was a champion at 130 and 140. they fought at 135. gatti's title wasnt on the line cuz he wasnt the champ at 135.
I dont' recall then fighting at 135, both at the time were jr. lightweights.
Forgot to add he beat Gatti who should have had his belt on the line but didn't, if not Manfredy would have been world champion, but he did beat the world champion just didn't get a title.

he should fight jorge paez jr lol since he knocked out his father
Chris Webber beating Manfredy awhile back - Webber was the Jack Lamotta of our time but he wasn't great and didn't have the granite chin Lamotta did, but if you know who Webber is then you'd aggree the guy fights like a throw back brawler.
I think Manfredy is retired now. But still young to make a comback.

i dont know why my posts keep duplicating. My bad. ANyways, i guess after beating Gatti he got overconfident and then stepped in with Mayweather and got beat soundly and quickly.
he was never a 1 punch KO guy but when he put em together he had some finishing power. His boxing skills were underrated. He had good mobility and rythym.

He beat Gatti, and few other contenders but aside from the chin, i don't think he had that great of power he had pop in his hands but it was at best average power. One thing i've always like about Manfredy is his fighting style, he had a nice boxing style and put some awsome combinations together when he was in his prime.
