Freddie Roach thinks Manny would beat Whitaker and Duran at 135..

[SusieQ.]

Taken from Ryan Manquinana's interview with Roach.

RM : The two boxing greats who Mannys been compared to as of late, due to his success in moving up multiple weight classes are Roberto Duran and Pernell Whitaker. How do you think Manny would match up with them at 135?

FR : Its tough to compare eras, of course. Pernell was a great boxer, and Manny has trouble with the counter-punching style a little bit, but I dont think Pernell could stand the pressure. With Duran, I think Manny could beat him. Duran was a ballsy guy; he liked to fight, but, you know, No Más made me wonder if he had any quit in him. In the past, at [lightweight], I picked Duran to win, but this time I think Manny would win by decision now.

Freddie sure does rate his boy highly! thoughts ..?

That's because fighters don't enter the ring shot and dehydrated in fantasy fights.
