They've obviously covered his previous fights against JMM,MAB,Morales before this fight, but they were astonished at his physical improvements since his previous fights

Manny was pretty much a lil fast Gatti, nothing special except his warrior mentality.
Manny started to become "Special" when Alex and his special blend shot Manny up thru the divs.
He was good no doubt, but until Alex came he wasn't special. The shame is all this stuff happend under a cloud of suspicious activity. Nobody can deny the timing and goings on didn't seem at best suspect

Now it's true that no one saw him becoming arguably the greatest fighter of his era. No one probably saw this. But, if you didn't see something special in Pac it's either you didn't follow the lower weights or just didn't care for his brawling style. But, he was a HOF'er before Ariza was part of the team.
