      the only fights recently that i would give credence to for manny are his fights with morrales, marquez and cotto,

      in addition to that i feel that he lost his first match to marquez, and he ddint put cotto on a downslope, neither marquez or morrales,

      all over the fighters he has fought including hatton, clottey, margarito, de la hoya and clottey were un remarkable

      I hate going down this avenue, because i have alot of respect for him as a fighter and the fighters he has foughten, but they were all hand picked to cater to his style

      between being weight drained,beaten, ect

      clottey was the only fighter recently not to have been on the downslope, but he is an un-remarkable fighter

          So Floyd should have won FOTD then....damm they gave it to the wrong guy. Pacquiao need to pack that trophy up and ship it to Floyd.

                Now a fight with Manny seems to be a sure ticket to an unplanned retirement, brutal punishment, and a rehab stint. Physical and mental destruction, just ask Ricky and Oscar (and Clottey if you can find him ). Margarito's fight with Pac almost cost him his eye...
                LMAO!!!

                  fighters ruining other fighters is just a myth. it's all up to the losing fighter how he can accept defeat and move on from a setback. it's all within the character of the fighter. if there are fighters who got ruined by defeats, especially in the mental aspect, it's because they are mentally weak naturally and that weakness is by no means caused by their opponent.

                    Devon Alexander is the true destroyer of careers. Kotelnik, Urango, and Bradley still haven't fought since Alexander was done with them.

                      Mayweather didn't ruin anybody. Every one of the fighters yoyu show Videos of were guys he had a good edge on, and which he kbew before the fights were made. His Brains Trust made sure of it. Thake for example Gennaro Hernandez, who, with Corrales at their peak, were classes ahead of everyone else in that group, who were no ore than 3rd raters.

                      Hernandez was having his last fight, was nearly 33 years old, an emaciated 6 ft tall 130 lbs, who had 7 fights in the previous 2 years since Oscar KO'd him, and it was well known that he was trying to get as many fighte in as possible foor his retirement. Of the 7 fights, only 1 was a "softie" all the other 6 were tough battles with mostly very close, some split scores.

                      As for Corrales, his story is too well known. Briefly, Corrales had LEFT the division, upwards, couldn't make the weight. Was absolutely broke, owed his lawyers a fortune and already sentenced and going for 2 yrs to jail immediately after the fight. As he said himself, just BEFORE the fight, they got at him when he had to have the money and couldn't resist. He spent most of his training in a sweat box, particularly the whole norning of the weigh-in, which he failed first tie. He almost had to be helped to the scales, and was just skin and bones, looked sick. His trainer said he couldn't get him to train, he just played computer games, and used the sweatbox. This was a "just for the money fight" a TOP EXAMPLE.
                      As Larry Merchant said, he was passing Corrales' dressing room just before the fight and there was Corrales "stuffing his face with a huge hamburger sandwich".....poor guy. He only went through the motions in SLOW MOTION. it was obvious to everyone. Normally he was a natural killer in the ring. He nearly killed Manfredy in a couple of rounds.

                      As for the rest of the displayed gallery, they are all 2nd and 3rd Raters, old, washed up or never much good. Henry Bruselles for goodness sake.........

                      There were better fighters who could have been on that list, not ruined, but checked in their careers for a while.
