      Too Sharp was really at his peak in the mid to late nineties anyway and he was always really a 118 pounder anyway.

      Definitely a slick bastard though. I used to love watching him fight cuz' he was slick, but he was a man about it.. But him and Manny are of different epoch's.

        Guzman has all the characteristics of a slick fighter. Defensively especially.

          You left out Guzman, who is slick and I think had the style to outbox Pac at 130 or 35.

          Not sure if Calderon really qualifies as slick so much as he qualifies as a track runner.
          I disagree, they might not be the slickest inside fighters, but they are slick.

          You can see there slickness in Bradley-Peterson, Dawson-Adamek, Campbell-Diaz, Forrest-Baldomir, and Raheem-Morales.

          Guzman after Mayweather is the slickest defensively, but he said Americans. Guzman would have really exposed any holes in Pacquiao's game at 130. Arum and Roach didn't want it though.

            Why is that? and what slick fighters should he fight.

            *waits for this clown to post a random black fighter like Nate Campbell*

              I thought Bradley showed good leg movement in that fight, but I don't know if that makes him slick. The other fights have more to do with the kind of opponents. Diaz made Campbell look slicker than he really is, same for all the others except Raheem/EM which was more just a case of Erik not giving a shit.

              Also, you mentioned Calderon in your list. He's not American.

              PWN!!!

                Honestly they were in talks to make a fight in Canada if I remember correctly. FWIW Manny took the harder fight by facing Marquez around that same time frame. I just can't see how anyone can knock that move because If Manny faces Guzman...then he is ducking Marquez and I can only imagine the flaming people would be doing right now if the second fight between Manny and JMM didn't happen.

                  And honestly for you to say he ducked Guzman is b.s. in itself.

                  Please explain to me when that happened (Manny ducking Guzman)?

                    Not american, which is what the little black supremacists are looking for.

                      Just like Paulie.

                      The only problem is when they went against an opponent with a good stick, we saw how slick they truly were. Both Guzman and Paulie couldn't avoid a jab to save there life and Funeka and Amir landed at will.

                      Now I'm not saying they aren't slick....all I'm saying it this; It's easy to look slicker than you are against Diaz (in Paulies case) and Soto (in Guzman's case). But you put a guy with decent speed and good fundamentals in front of them and you see how overrated their slickness truly is.
