Exactly. If you put most other fighters in the ring with a shot Morales, Barrera, Cotto, Hatton, etc, they'd probably still lose. That's why I still give Manny credit for those fights. However I still think they gave him too much credit. Since when does beating a fighter who isn't a welterweight and was obviously weight drained make you the #1 welterweight? Last time I checked you have to beat the #1 welterweight champ to be #1. Mayweather had to beat The Ring Magazine welterweight champ to soldify his spot as #1. Mosley also had to do it (twice, against De La Hoya and Margarito). So how does fighting a shot, weight drained, non-welterweight DLH make you #1? Even the Cotto fight wasn't enough to make him #1 because Cotto was ranked #3. I think that was a bad move by The Ring Magazine.
But with that aside, I think Manny is a great fighter.
