joey has got good power but needs to stop looking for that one punch ko, when he steps up past the contender level he better bring a nice soft pillow if he doesnt learn to be a lil more relaxed cuz if he keeps throwing all those power shots against a top 10 guy he will be laying down alot

After a year layoff getting the ring rust off is good. Although he hasn;t been in the ring with anyone of substance those two fights, it's good to see him just getting action. He's doing the right thing.
A rematch with Manfredo would basically be for publicity. I think we have learned that has crafty as Manfredo was thought to be, he appears not to have that "it" at this point in his career. Manfredo is somewhere in the middle. Not ready and may never be for the elite in the division and just too good for the bottom tier. PMJr may be best suited at 160 because he just doesn't have the power at '68.
Gilbert is a little guy at 168. His physique is good yes, but I don't think he can **** consistantly with those guys. He has sparred with the likes of Winky Wright and Jeff Lacy, btu I think he is best suited at 160 as well.Comment
