      Those old fights show Manny as a fighter, but since then, he has become more of a complete boxer. The combination of the 2 makes him extremely dangerous. He was able to exchange with these little guys but there is no way he could do that now with WWs. Roach did a great job working on his game.

I thought Pac looked like an idiot throwing the same one punch all night long and JMM was an even bigger idiot for managing to get hit with it all night long when he's supposed to be a brilliant techniqal fighter. Seriously though, everyone knows that Pac only had one hand.

        Edit- I just read your whole post. So at what time was he throwing all the hooks? Thats strange if your right that he was throwing alot of hooks before Roach came but Roach took it away until he developed more. If thats true then props to Roach but I always remember him being a one hand fighter
        no he's right, Roach cleaned his punching up a lot. by doing so Manny didn't have much pop in his right hand as he threw it like a jab. gradually he worked on getting the movement down now it's got tons of pop.

        the weird thing is he was always a heavy handed fighter, even at 106.

        He kept gaining power as he moved up, but it looks like it peaked at 140. although is hard to say because Cotto is a lot tougher than Hatton and Manny still put him on ***** street many times and knocked him down 2 times.

        I remember at FW though, just counting on him knocking somebody down.

              The old Manny would get schooled by Cotto.

                did he really say that to erik? what else did he say? so thats probably the reasons why erik dont like barrera.

                    did they already hate each other before the first match? or it only happened in rematch?
