I could easily put together a video, with a fighters flaws, to prove that fighter is overrated......but bull**** videos like this exist because there is an audience for it.
The point is if you came in with improvements you should have been more dominant in a rematch, especially when the weight and ages favored you.
What happened in the third fight? It turns out to be Marquez most convincing victory.
He actually ended up losing harder in a rematch against a fighter on the decline.

Manny has improved some physically but he has not improved from a mental aspect in the boxing ring. I feel Marquez made Manny think instead of just reacting and that is not a strong suit for Manny in a boxing ring. Force Manny to think and it slows him down. Manny is a fighter that can follow a game plan if its working but if its not working perfectly he will not be able to figure out adjustments on the fly or take different instructions from Roach that are different than what they worked on the whole training camp.

I can name two, I think Manny beat Marquez at least once (sure *****s will give the 3 fights to Marquez as the unbiased fans they are). In my opinion, Manny won clearly the first fight with Marquez, it was a draw according to the judges, but Manny floored Marquez 3 times and won the first two rounds, Marquez had to win 8 of the last 10 rounds in order to win the fight, he didn't.
Floyd's win over Marquez is a joke. It was a size mismatch.
And Barrera like you said, Barrera was 29 years old.
He had been trough many wars yes, just like Pacquiao by the way.

I think Manny has improved tremendously over his career, but at the end of the day imho, his biggest improvements simply were not between 2008 and 2011.

Originally posted by Shogunofharlem1 View PostAgreed. People are confusing roachs stylistic tweaks with full scale style change and thats not the case. Roach took an in and out fighter and gave him some good boxing skills but its not mannys forte. Style wise it makes sense that Marquez beat him. Its reminds me of when arturro gatti started adding outboxing skills into his repetoir and just because it served him well in a few fights he tried to outbox Floyd instead of playing to his own strengths. Lets be real mannys developed some decent counterpunching skills but its **** compared to marquez's counter punching ability.Last edited by hugh grant; 12-08-2011, 06:12 PM.

The best part of the video was the sound effects.
But let's be honest Manny has improved to an extent but his major flaw is that he struggles against "boxers". Guys who come to fight & want to stand in front of him & trade, Manny would 95% of the time whoop them (which he did).
But give him a guy who gives angles, shows movement & displays actual boxing skills; Manny struggles. It's not in his nature to do so. He can't all of a sudden become a "boxer". Manny's a fighter & that's what he'll remain.
