Guys...this is what happens with casual boxer fans.. "boxer fans" they only see boxers and not boxing as a sport. How can anyone dislike Manny? I just can't believe it.
Is it because he's a small guy? Asian? what?
He goes in there trying to entertain, making all of his fights exciting? fighting the best, champions, HOF's. Taking risks, calling out fighters Floyd Jr. did everything to duck.
The thing with them.... they really can't win, those who liked Manny as a fighter will not feel this way if he loses.
I am a Filipino, I did not also liked Manny before because of his jab, jab, straight left kind of fighting, his lack of patience and discipline, but now he matured and started studying his opponents. As for me, I want an entertaining fight. I liked Cotto, and will Continue to follow his career, losing does not mean a thing if you fought the best in the business.
Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 losses, but nobody give a **** about that right?
He's remembered because of his exciting fights, and he is considered by many as the best P4P fighter of all time.
