    Is Manny too Immature?

    Specifically for where he's at. He's at the top of the game in the featherweight division and his focus isn't the greatest. It seems like he's having trouble getting back into training, is doing other things without focusing on his fights(signing tv show contracts and playing pool), and seems like he let the money go to his head a whee bit too much. Perhaps people comparing him as a small Mike Tyson weren't too far off after all. Aside from all this, Manny has his whole country seeing him almost as a living god and yet he's as human as any of us and acts like any of us at his age. Can he really handle all this to the point that he can still focus on boxing and stay at the top?

    I'd say his upcoming fight will give us a good answer.

      He is not having trouble training its his promoter that is not getting him fights.
