Really, he is. Pernell didn't have offense like Manny. Pernell just relied on running away while punching. Marvin wasn't incredibly skilled either, he relied on great conditioning and endurance.
I've never seen a fighter use the southpaw stance like Manny does. The way he uses it to set up his power shots, how he throws "crossover punches" as if he was playing basketball, and he has a great right hand now.
He's the most well-versed southpaw of all time.
Which makes it obvious that the people making these comments never saw either one of them fight. Claiming that Hagler "wasn't incredibly skilled" and just relied on "endurance" is ******ity and ignorance. The same as "Whitaker just ran away". If you don't know about something it's best that you don't talk about it and pretend that you do.
