    Will we ever see another 8 weight champion?

    Say what you want about Manny but will we ever see another fighter go through so many different divisions again?

    Unlikely.

    Someone would have to do a similar thing at start their career as a teenager and grow into an adult all whilst having the gifts and ability to be world class whilst doing it.

        Probably not. Regardlesss of the CW titles @ WW and JMW, Im just not certain of when someone will come along and do the same. Manny's run has been great for boxing overall, but I wish he would have spent more campaigning @ 135 and 140.

          Manny in all honesty is a freak of nature,insane speed,stamina,toughness,power and the angles he could turn his body and throw punches is crazy...i spend a lot of time talking down on him,but that is due to some of his uneducated fans.But the guy is amazing to watch and i will be watching in November..

            Somebody else will come along and drain fighters, AND get made up division title belts handed to him.

            Just a matter of time.
