[NAPO]

im glad man..the guy is an embarassment for the sport pf boxing.

[Shem]

Nope. Not good at all. He should be in the mix.

He is a boring fighter, so this is good for the sport. The only thing i don't like is that Cotto wont have a chance to knock him out. I think Cotto could knock him out.

Look at what happened during his last "retirement", the bs was over, and we had a small fighter from the phillipines take over, fighting anyone they asked of him, and in great fashion. Put up great fights, fought for the fans, and for his people...

The bold is not true. Manny cherry picked the easiest lightweight champion his team could find when there were other stiff challenges out there. He turned down the chance to fight Shane Mosley in 2009 and turned down an immediate rematch with Marquez when they had a close fight back in 2008. Manny and his team have done their share of cherry picking as well. But because he plays the good guy role and isn't undefeated people tend to look past certain choices of opponents.
