    How will Manny adjust to fighting a ww who isn't shot (ODH) or contractually obligated not to beat him?

    Manny is a great 1st ballot HOF, but how will he adjust to fighting a non top rank, in shape, boxer who isn't required to give Bob Arum future options on their fights should they beat Manny, since he hasn't fought one in over 5 years?

    Just asking?

        That you used the term classless is the funniest thing I've seen.

              Go to the body like Torrecampo and Singsurat. Slow ass Margarito hurt Manny with a body shot as well, he seems to be susceptible there.

                IMO the "style" to beat Pac would be a tough as nails, skilled pressure fighter with inside skills and lots of power...JCC and Duran come to mind. Boxers could be successful, however their low activity probably won't make up for his aggression no matter how more accurate they are.

                  I get what you saying but disagree with you just a little. If a fighter has good defense and counters Manny well like Marquez you slow him down with his punch output because he has to think more about whats coming back at him. Also if they can keep this up for 12 rounds Manny isn't the most accurate fighter either. IMO Manny accuracy goes up later in the fight when he lands his combos at will. So if his punch output is cut that means he is not as aggresive as he would normally be. Which in turn gives the boxer more time to think about his moves as well.

                    I think the original point was excellent because he really is so good it's hard to picture anyone getting the better of him. I hate folk that slag him off because I think he's the perfect rolemodel and he has taken on all comers in my opinion. I suppose Iam a ******* in a lot of peoples eyes but I dont care, the man is special!

                      I have always thought the same thing. Good post!

                      Another thing I think would work would be a southpaw version of Floyd, that way you can use the shoulder roll defense on Pac from his own stance which is something he has never seen because all his attack angles would be ineffective from those angles. And throw right hooks from a southpaw stance to knock his head off. That and also when you get inside with him dont pull back out and stay inside with your head on his chest and work the body relentlessly like Chavez Sr. use to.
