I'll be rooting for Manny just because he's impressed the hell out of me so far and Hatton would be one more feather in his cap.
With all due respect to Floyd Mayweather, who has beaten Hatton as well as several other established fighters and put his name in the record books....Manny, coming up so far in weight and dolling out the wins he has to the level of competition he's faced so far, just seems to me a better namesake along the all-time greats than is Floyd.
And maybe that's not fair, entirely. It's just very hard to place a man without seeing him in a real battle. Many were singing the praises of Roy Jones Jr. before Tarver gave him no excuses in fight 2. And while that Jones was not the best Jones, it certainly put him in a different light alongside the all-timers.
Floyd, through posssibly no fault of his own, has never really been challenged outside of the first Castillo fight....though the Judah fight was closely competed for the first few rounds.
Either way, I'm hoping Manny beats Hatton and Mayweather dusts off the gloves so that we can see...hopefully....a clash between two modern true greats.Comment
